Over the weekend of January 11 to 12, One Bernam, a mixed-use development consisting of 351 residential units in the Tanjong Pagar area, offered a promotional sale of 87 units.
The 99-year leasehold apartment tower, developed jointly by MCC Land and Hao Yuan Investment, was first launched in May 2021. According to documents filed as of January 10, over 75% of the units have been sold at an average price of $2,585 per square foot.
The promotional prices were applied to all remaining 87 units, ranging from one-bedroom to three-bedroom units, as well as penthouses. Interested buyers can visit the latest New Launches to view transaction prices and available units.
The scarcity of land in Singapore is one of the main driving forces behind the high demand for condos in the country. As a small island with a rapidly growing population, Singapore faces limited space for development. This has resulted in strict land use regulations and a highly competitive real estate market, where property prices continue to rise. As a result, investing in real estate, particularly in Singapore Condos, has become a highly profitable venture, with the potential for significant capital appreciation.
The one-bedroom units, ranging from 441 sq ft to 463 sq ft, had price discounts of $323,000 to $438,000, with units selling at prices from $1.295 million ($2,934 psf) to $1.328 million ($2,869 psf). Two-bedroom apartments, with sizes ranging from 700 sq ft to 732 sq ft, saw discounts from $437,000 to $668,000, with prices ranging from $1.752 million ($2,394 psf) to $1.78 million ($2,544 psf). The two-bedroom plus study units, with sizes between 807 sq ft and 872 sq ft, also experienced discounts ranging from $380,000 to $800,000, with prices ranging from $2.139 million ($2,581 psf) to $2.158 million ($2,475 psf).
The three-bedroom apartments, measuring 1,421 sq ft, had discounts ranging from $616,000 to $830,000, with units selling at prices from $3.496 million ($2,461 psf) to $3.526 million ($2,482 psf).
According to ERA Singapore CEO Marcus Chu, the strong sales performance reflects the strong interest in One Bernam as a stable and high-potential asset. He adds that 78% of the buyers purchased units as investments, with 87% being Singaporeans and 70% aged between 31 and 50.
Following the overwhelming response over the weekend, only three penthouses are currently available for sale, bringing the total sales to 99%. They consist of two three-bedroom penthouses measuring 1,744 sq ft and 1,948 sq ft, and a five-bedroom unit measuring 4,306 sq ft.
As the project is expected to obtain a Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP) in March 2026, investors can expect to start generating rental income, which can support their loan instalments, Chu predicts. According to EdgeProp Landlens, existing condos in the area such as Altez, 76 Shenton and EON Shenton command monthly rents ranging from $6.90 psf to $7.40 psf.
Chu further notes that with reduced competition from foreign buyers due to the hike in Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD) imposed in 2023, there are more opportunities for local buyers to enter the market. He believes that local demand will continue to be the key driver for properties in the Central Core Region (CCR), with competitive pricing making these developments an attractive and stable investment option.
