8M Residences only sold 4 out of 68 units since May Launch

Industry observers said the property at Margate Road is overpriced at $2000 to $2300 psf.

Singapore Business Review's spotcheck with Huttons Real Estate Group agents confirmed that the 20-storey freehold development which was launched on May 25 managed to only sell 4 out of 68 units to-date.

Estmated price for the smallest unit at 527sft of 8M Residences is $1.1m but an industry observer who requested anonymity commented that it should only be $700,000.

"I think it's overpriced for a property with very small units and swimming pool that can just actually accommodate 2 swimmers. I would buy it for $700K," he said.

Another observer meanwhile said that price psf for 8M Residences should not go beyond $1,600.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
