Luxury Penthouse Market Is Booming
Despite global uncertainty, Singapore’s real estate market is booming. Atop that boom is a slate of luxury penthouses, each equipped with great views, situated in wonderful neighbourhoods, largely insulated from inflation. That’s why real estate in Singapore has long been considered one of the best hedges against inflation for ultra-high net worth individuals (HNW), whether they be Singaporean or foreign investors.
Though the Singapore government has imposed property curbs, the demand for luxury non-landed homes remained steady in H2 2022 at 158 properties compared with 138 in H1, directly related to available inventory in the market.
The luxury end of Singapore’s real estate market is a lucrative attraction for HNW foreign buyers. Many foreign investors look to Singapore for economic stability, and with good reason. The price of luxury residential properties rose 6-8% year-on-year increase to approximately S$3,000 per square foot (psf) at the end of H2 2022. Notably, the Les Maison Nassim penthouse off Singapore’s illustrious Orchard Road broke a new record, transacting for S$68 million, and makes it the most expensive of its kind in Singapore. But it’s unlikely to hold that title for long.
Buoyed by the government’s latest visa policies, coupled with the luxury homes market slowdown in a traditionally unwaning Hong Kong, demands increase from mainland China, U.S. Indonesian and Malaysian nationals. This deluge of wealthy buyers eye Singapore’s luxurious penthouses given the favourable view as a safe haven amid geopolitical tensions and sharply rising interest rates that would typically affect investor sentiment negatively.
Singapore’s property market is not uniform. It’s important to be aware of the different districts and the trends across the island. Condominiums in District 9 often fetch a higher average price psf at S$3500 psf, whereas properties in nearby District 10 have experienced a higher appreciation at 20-30% in the last decade.
Today, we’re focusing on some of the most luxurious penthouses available in Singapore’s prime residential market, with a prevailing psf upturn. These Inspiring Properties — situated in some of the most sought-after neighbourhoods, super-exclusive spacious penthouses that boast ample, well-designed living spaces — are perfected for sophisticated foreign or domestic investors to covet.
