Chart of the Day: See how executive condos worth above $1M skyrocketed since 2010

S$1.3M ECs are hot items.

According to Savills, apart from the priciest S$1.61 million 1 Canberra EC, two sky suites spanning 2,476 sq ft and 2,433 sq ft at The Rainforest were transacted at S$1.58 million (S$637 per sq ft) and S$1.56 million (S$640 per sq ft) respectively in February 2012.

Another 16 ECs from The Tampines Trilliant, Riverpac Residence, Arc at Tampines, Watercolours and Esparina Residences were sold for S$1.3 million and above. These units have all breached the previous record of S$1.1 million paid for a new 2,486-sq ft EC at Pinevale in December 1997.

"The spaciousness offered by the ECs priced above S$1.3 million, often ranging from 1,900 sq ft to 2,700 sq ft, may have been a major attraction. Some were penthouses or sky suites which command unobstructed views, have large roof terraces, spacious balconies, four bedrooms and private Jacuzzis. Others were dual-key units which come with an attached studio and a separate entrance," said Savills.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
