FoundOnEdgeProp: Jaw-dropping downtown homes with views

Residents living in the Downtown Core Planning Area enjoy the convenience of living in the heart of a bustling city and breathtaking views of Singapore’s CBD skyline. More people are expected to move to the Downtown Core after the partial redevelopment of Marina Square and the upcoming development of the neighbouring Marina South. We searched through the sales listings on EdgeProp and discovered several spacious condo units in the Downtown Core that have excellent location attributes and unbeatable views. At the time of writing, there were several listings for penthouse units in Eden Residences Capitol, One Shenton and V On Shenton. These developments are all 99-year leasehold properties located along Shenton Way and in District 1. Shenton Way is undergoing a rejuvenation, with the nearby IOI Central Boulevard Towers expected to obtain TOP in 1Q2024. Additionally, the nearby Shenton House was recently sold via a collective sale. Both condos are a short walk away from Shenton Way MRT Station, Lau Pa Sat and Amoy Street Food Centre.Savvy buyers might consider investing in a condo unit along Shenton Way to benefit from the transformation of the neighbourhood. There was a listing for a penthouse unit with an asking price of $33 million ($3,611 per square foot). The 9,138-sq ft unit has four bedrooms, a study, and a rooftop private pool. For those with a smaller budget, there was a listing for a penthouse unit with an asking price of $21 million ($3,795 psf). The unit in V on Shenton is much smaller than the unit in One Shenton, being only 5,533 sq ft in size and having only four bedrooms.

Marina South is undergoing a transformation as part of URA’s plans to develop the precinct into a mixed-use and community-centric district.
