Daintree Residence, a 99-year leasehold development in Bukit Timah, topped the list of private non-landed residential developments that achieved new psf-price highs during July 14 to 21. It hit a record $2,242 psf when a 1,485 sq ft, four-bedroom unit on the fourth floor was purchased for $3.33 million on July 17.
The sale sets a new benchmark for Daintree Residence, recording its first transaction above $2,200 psf. It edges out the development’s previous price peak of $2,199, set with the sale of a 1,055 sq ft three-bedder for $2.32 million in April 2024.
Located on Toh Tuck Road in District 21, the 327-unit development consists of 12 five-storey blocks. Unit layouts comprise one- to four-bedders ranging from 592 to 1,593 sq ft.

Several schools are within a 1km radius of the development, including Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary School and Bukit Timah Primary School. Schools within 2km include Methodist Girls’ School (Primary) and Methodist Girls’ School (Secondary).
Average resale prices at Daintree Residence have risen marginally over the past few years. Caveats lodged show that the development has logged 19 resale deals year-to-date at an average of $2,052 psf, up from $2,037 psf across 14 resale transactions in 2023.
The second-highest psf-price peak for the week came from the sale of a 1,442 sq ft three-bedder at freehold condo Country Grandeur. The sixth-floor unit changed hands for $3.2 million on July 17, setting a fresh high of $2,219 psf.
The latest deal surpasses the development’s previous price record set eight months earlier, when a similarly sized apartment was sold for $3.05 million ($2,115 psf) in November 2025.
At $3.2 million, the July 17 transaction also ranks as the most expensive resale deal recorded at the development by absolute price.
Completed in 1996, the freehold, single-tower condo along Lorong Putong in Bishan comprises 68 three-bedroom units measuring 1,410 to 1,442 sq ft. It is a six-minute walk from Bright Hill MRT Station (Thomson-East Coast Line), while Thomson Plaza and MacRitchie Reservoir are approximately four and 11 minutes away by car, respectively.

Meanwhile, just one project registered a new psf-price low during the week. A 538 sq ft, one-bedroom unit on the second floor of 19 Nassim was sold for $1.5 million on July 16, resulting in a new low of $2,787 psf for the luxury condo.
It dips below the development’s previous psf-price trough of $2,957, set in November 2024 when the developer sold a larger 646 sq ft apartment for $1.91 million ($2,957 psf).
Situated in prime District 10, along the prestigious Nassim Hill, 19 Nassim is a 99-year leasehold development that was completed in 2023. It comprises 101 apartments, most of which are two-bedders ranging from 807 sq ft to 1,119 sq ft.
Compared to surrounding developments, 19 Nassim holds one of the lower average transaction prices. Going by EdgeProp Singapore analytics, the development has an average price of $3,294 psf, based on transactions over the past 12 months. That average trails newer neighbouring developments, including 8 Napier ($3,329 psf) and The Nassim ($4,485 psf), but remains above older projects such as The Loft ($2,129 psf).
