The 59-unit High Point sits on a 47,606 sq ft, freehold site at Mount Elizabeth in prime District 9. The purchase price of $556.688 million had translated to a land rate of $2,626 psf per plot ratio (psf ppr).

The stakes are higher too. The two residential sites that Shun Tak purchased in 2018 had totalled $593.5 million. This time, High Point alone is $556.7 million. The site has the potential to be redeveloped into a new 36-storey tower with 98 luxury apartments averaging 200 sqm (2,148 sq ft) each. That is more units than Park Nova and Les Maisons Nassim combined.

The impact of the cooling measures was immediately felt at Hong Kong developer CK Asset Holdings' luxury condo project Perfect Ten. Launched on Dec 19, about 12 units or 5% of the 230-units were sold at an average price of $3,200 psf. The developer had even dangled a 5% discount for homebuyers on launch day, following the property cooling measures.

This year, the luxury residential market was driven not just by well-heeled foreigners but Singaporeans and permanent residents too. They have not been spared from the higher ABSD either. For Singaporeans making a second property purchase, the ABSD is now 17%, and 25% for their third and subsequent property purchases. PRs will now have to pay 25% ABSD for a second property and 30% for third or more. The total debt servicing ratio has been further tightened to 55% from 60% earlier.
