All condo units are not equal. Penthouse units are considered the most expensive, exclusive and luxurious units in any condo development.
A penthouse is a unit located on the highest floor of a block. Nowadays, many penthouse units are built over more than one storey and tend to be much larger than the other units in the development.
Other than condos, penthouse units can also be found in various different building types. Examples include HDB flats in the form of penthouse maisonettes and HDB lofts, office buildings and shopping malls.
A penthouse unit costs a pretty penny indeed, and their sales sometimes make the news. In late October 2021, someone dropped $75 million on a Les Maisons Nassim penthouse; the following month, the sole penthouse atop CanningHill Piers sold for $48 million.
Because of their high costs, only those with a sizeable income can afford to buy penthouse units, especially the luxurious ones. But despite this, luxury home sales in the pricey central region reached a 10-year high in Q2 last year, with luxury apartment sales doubling year-on-year in 2021. Yes, even the pandemic can’t stop the frenzied demand for high-end properties.
Even the Singapore government has noticed this, which likely influenced the upward revisions on personal income tax on those with a chargeable income of $500,000 and above. Other steps to tax the wealthy include higher property tax rates for residential properties.

Comprising six glass towers, it boasts six bedrooms across three levels, with a stunning unblocked sea view, a well-designed interior and even a complimentary three-year Marina at Keppel Bay membership (the club is just next door).

2. Les Maisons Nassim Penthouse: $69,999,888
At the beginning of this article, we mentioned a buyer dropped $75 million on a Les Maisons Nassim penthouse. If you feel FOMO, we found a penthouse listing in this same sought-after luxury development that’s set to TOP in 2023, but at a slightly discounted of about $70 million.
Partially furnished, with a floor area of 12,078 sq ft, this freehold penthouse property provides a bespoke luxury living experience. Don’t expect sweeping views of the city skyline or nearby greenery though – this exclusive project is just four storeys high, but the draw lies in its limited number of units and the privacy the development offers. The whole development only has 14 units, each with its own dedicated lift lobbies, of which just two are super penthouses.
The high-end property has a wide 21m frontage that is column-free, and homeowners can decide if they want to design their entire unit from scratch or choose from three ID designs. When stage three of the Thomson-East Coast MRT Line begins operation later this year, homeowners will have easy access to Napier MRT (650m) and Orchard Boulevard MRT (750m) stations for a seamless connection to Singapore’s most famous shopping belt.

The facilities are also well-maintained, comprising a swimming pool, sauna, tennis court and playground. Just like the upcoming Les Maisons Nassim development, One Chatsworth is just 5 minutes’ walk from the upcoming Orchard Boulevard MRT station.

Luxury Property in Singapore: Penthouse Units, Sentosa Cove Properties, Good Class Bungalows, and More
Last year, COVID-19 seems to have nothing on the luxury property market in Singapore, with luxury apartment sales doubling last year on the back of low interest rates during the pandemic. Affluent buyers seem to be optimistic about Singapore’s post-pandemic economic recovery, with properties in Sentosa Cove seeing renewed interest and transaction volumes of Good Class Bungalow (GCBs) hitting a record high.
However, analysts feel that we may not see such a robust 2022. Aside from rising interest rates expected in 2022 and beyond, the recent property cooling measures, which saw an increase in Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD) rates, will likely deter locals and foreigners alike looking to buy property for investment purposes.
Nevertheless, the ultra-rich are still on the move in the luxury property market, while they can. According to PropertyGuru’s Singapore Property Market Report Q1 2022, private property sale prices are expected to continue rising in the upcoming quarter. A dip in demand for investment properties is predicted in the first half of 2022, as the full extent of the new cooling measures kicks in.
