Along **Marine Drive** (Marine Parade estate), unit sizes and pricing depend on whether you look at **rare adjoined/jumbo flats** or standard **point-block 5-room flats**:
---
### 1. The Absolute Largest: Adjoined / Jumbo Flats
* **Unit Size:** Up to **157 sqm (approx. 1,690 sq ft)**.
*(Created by merging two adjacent flats into a single title under HDB's conversion scheme.)*
* **Transacted Price Benchmark:**
* The estate record at **Blk 64 Marine Drive** (high-floor, 157 sqm adjoined flat) transacted at **S$1.38 Million** (~S$817 psf).
* Market value typically ranges between **S$1.25M and S$1.40M+**, driven by extreme scarcity and proximity to Tao Nan School and the Thomson-East Coast Line (TE26 Marine Parade MRT).
---
### 2. Standard Largest Model: 5-Room Point Block (5I / 5S)
For non-adjoined, standard layouts, the largest units are the iconic **Point Block 5-Room flats** (typically Blks 73 to 79 Marine Drive):
* **Unit Size:** **120 to 125 sqm (1,292 to 1,345 sq ft)**.
*(Features 4 units per floor, high privacy, and unblocked views towards the coast or city.)*
* **Transacted Price Benchmark:**
* **High-Floor / Sea-Facing:** **S$1,000,000 to S$1,060,000+** (~S$780 – S$825 psf). For example, Blk 78 Marine Drive recently transacted at **S$1.06M** (~S$821 psf).
* **Mid-to-Low Floor:** **S$900,000 to S$980,000**.

### 3. Key Value Drivers
* **Remaining Lease:** Most Marine Drive blocks date to 1975–1978 (~48 to 51 years remaining lease). Despite this, prices hold firm due to strong lifestyle demand, East Coast Park connectivity, and Marine Parade Central amenities.

1. Are you looking at purchasing a large unit along Marine Drive for own-stay, or assessing the valuation of an existing flat to sell?
2. Would you prefer a standard point-block 5-room (1,292 sq ft) or are you strictly hunting for a rare 1,600+ sq ft jumbo layout?
