BuySafe shortlist · The Property Collective

Chelsea Shortlist

Your home today is 2,700 sqft. The five ranked here run from 3,175 to 4,435 sqft, and every bedroom was counted and, where the plan prints it, measured. Freehold, 4 or 5 real bedrooms, up to S$10M, Stevens first and then one stop out. Ranked on the asking price against the same-size caveats, and on how many buyers there will be when you sell. Every unit is live on PropertyGuru today. None is on the ground floor. Three units from the earlier list, just under 3,000 sqft, are kept below the five.

Budget up to S$10M Size 3,000 sqft and up (you have 2,700) Bedrooms 4 minimum, counted and sized on the plan Area Stevens first, then one stop out Tenure freehold Floor no ground floor Test sell in year 4 at +12% to +20%

BuySafe run 25 Sep 2026 (URA caveats to Aug 2026). Listings, floor plans, floors and rents verified on PropertyGuru and EdgeProp 25 Sep 2026. Search covered every 4- and 5-bed condo listing of 2,800 sqft and up within a kilometre of Stevens, Newton, Napier, Botanic Gardens and Orchard Boulevard MRT, 106 listings, plus named projects beyond that ring.

FloorNot stated. Photos read low to mid
Recent rent, 3,400–3,500 sqftS$15,817 avg, 3 leases · 2.8% gross

Why

  • Ask is 7% under the last same-size sale (Aug 2025) and 12% under the one before (Sep 2024). The only unit on this page asking less than its own type last fetched.
  • Plan prints the dimensions: bedrooms 3 and 4 are 3.16 m wide, bedroom 2 is 3.38 m, all about 4 m deep, all with built-in wardrobes. Master is 4.2 m by 6 m with a walk-in wardrobe. Helper's room with its own bath, yard, private lift lobby, eight-seat balcony.
  • Three leases signed Jun–Jul 2026 at S$15,250–16,200 for this size. The clearest rent evidence on the page.
  • Four minutes to Newton interchange (Downtown and North–South lines), Newton Food Centre by the gate, ACS Junior and SJI Junior within 1 km.

Exit in 2030

  • +12% = S$7.67M (S$2,214 psf). +20% = S$8.22M (S$2,372 psf).
  • Both sit between the project's own 3,466 sqft sales (S$2,135–2,250 psf) and its 4,112 sqft sales (S$2,797 psf Apr 2026, S$3,084 May 2023).
  • Klimt Cairnhill, 360 m away, resells new at S$2,836–3,803 psf. The Bukit Timah Road GLS site needs S$3,113 psf to break even, 99-year.
  • Buyers: 48% Singaporean, 16% PR, 24% foreign, 12% company.

Watch

  • The listing says "Starting From". Confirm S$6.85M is the price for this unit, and get the floor. The two caveats were #16 and #22.
  • Four units of this type are listed, at S$6.85M (two agents), S$8.0M and S$8.1M. Sellers are competing. Offer under.
  • Maintenance is S$2,000 a month. 2009 build, 73 units, so a slow project: five sales of 3,000 sqft-plus in five years.
  • Too few big-unit sales for a BuySafe Score. Read the caveats instead.

FloorNot stated. Photos read mid
Recent rent, 3,700–3,800 sqftS$16,331 avg, 8 leases · 2.0% gross

Why

  • The deepest same-size record in the whole search: seven 3,778 sqft sales in two years, S$8.75M–10.08M, the last at S$9.58M (#18, May 2026). Ask is 3% above it.
  • The biggest bedrooms on the page. The typical-unit plan prints the areas: master 61 sqm (658 sqft), bedrooms 2, 3 and 4 at 27–30 sqm (294–321 sqft) each, every one en-suite. Hall 32 sqm, living 81 sqm, dining 28 sqm, helper's room 13 sqm with wash area.
  • Eight leases in 2026 at S$13,000–19,000. Tenants take this size.
  • Every unit in the block is this type, so the valuer and the next buyer both know exactly what it is.

Exit in 2030

  • +12% = S$11.08M (S$2,932 psf). +20% = S$11.87M (S$3,141 psf).
  • Jan 2025 already printed S$2,668 psf here. Two other 3,778 units ask S$11.5M (S$3,044 psf). Bishopsgate next door resells at S$3,126 psf, Cliveden up to S$3,202.
  • The Orchard Boulevard GLS site opens for tender Oct 2026 at plot ratio 2.8. A high bid lifts the whole Grange pocket.
  • Buyers: 36% Singaporean, 28% PR, 23% foreign, 13% company.

Watch

  • 1983 block. Part of the price is a collective-sale bet. If you buy it, buy it as a home and let the en bloc be a bonus.
  • Uses the whole budget: S$9.89M plus S$533,000 stamp duty means about S$3.0M up front. Open at S$9.4M.
  • Tanglin, not Stevens. Two TEL stops, or a 7-minute drive. Included because nothing nearer has rooms this size.
  • This listing has no plan; the plan shown is the typical-unit plan from the sister listing 25450175. The ad says six baths; the plan shows four plus a WC. Confirm.

FloorTop floor penthouse
Recent rent, 2,700–2,800 sqftS$13,800, 1 lease · 2.1% gross

Why

  • The biggest apartment on the page and the only true five-bed. Plan checked: master, bedrooms 2, 3, 4 and 5, a separate study, helper's room, powder room, wet and dry kitchens, and a terrace open to the sky. Three bedrooms en-suite.
  • Ask psf is 35% below what the project's ordinary 4-beds fetch (S$2,718 psf, Mar 2026). Penthouses trade at a discount per foot here; the 6,060 sqft one went at S$1,493 psf in Dec 2025.
  • Vacant possession. Bukit Sembawang build, 2014, single level, no stairs.
  • Newton Food Centre and the MRT through the side gate, under 10 minutes.

Exit in 2030

  • +12% = S$8.83M (S$1,990 psf). +20% = S$9.46M (S$2,132 psf).
  • Both exits sit below every non-penthouse sale in the project since 2022 (S$2,447–2,718 psf). Klimt Cairnhill, 130 m away, resells at S$2,836–3,803 psf.
  • Buyers: 54% Singaporean, 15% PR, 28% foreign.

Watch

  • The plan prints no dimensions. Bring a tape: bedrooms 2 and 3 look 3.3–3.6 m wide, bedroom 4 sits beside the terrace stair.
  • The only penthouse comp sold at S$1,493 psf. A bank may value under the ask. Get an indicative valuation before you offer.
  • Five-bed buyers are fewer at resale. The exit here is a family that needs the rooms, not an investor.
  • The plan is labelled 4,542 sqft; the listing says 4,435. Confirm the strata area on the title.

FloorNot stated. Photos read mid
Recent rent, 3,100–3,200 sqftS$17,000 Jun 2026 · 2.8% gross

Why

  • Ask psf is 3% below what the project's smaller 4-beds fetched in Nov 2025. Size premium: none.
  • Two plans on the listing, checked: bedroom 4 with its own bath, family area, cloak room and powder room downstairs under a double-height living room; master, bedroom 2 and bedroom 3, each en-suite, upstairs. Four bedrooms, six baths.
  • Best rent per foot here: S$17,000 signed for this size in Jun 2026 and again in Dec 2024.
  • 46 units, so quiet. Eleven of them are this size or bigger.

Exit in 2030

  • +12% = S$8.28M (S$2,606 psf). +20% = S$8.87M (S$2,792 psf).
  • Cairnhill Residences resells at S$2,625 psf, Hilltops at S$3,363. The Peck Hay Road GLS site, sold Jun 2026, needs S$3,174 psf to break even.
  • Buyers: 42% Singaporean, 15% PR, 38% foreign. The most international of the six.

Watch

  • No 3,175 sqft caveat in the record. Every recent sale is the 2,131 type. Thin, so a valuation may lean on the smaller type's psf, which still supports the ask.
  • 2003 build with 46 units: expect a slow resale. Two or three sales a year in the whole block.
  • Round tower. The curved rooms take a tape measure, not a furniture catalogue.
  • Two agents list the same unit (500190487 and 500175992). The other 3,175 listings on EdgeProp are the same unit too.

Why

  • Ask is 2.8% above the same type's sale in Apr 2025. Priced at the market.
  • Plan checked: master, bedrooms 2, 3 and 4 and a family room on one level; living, dining, kitchen and utility on the level above; private roof terrace on top. Private lift lobby.
  • 486 units and twenty-plus sales a year. Valuers and buyers know the block; the exit is never a mystery.
  • Seven minutes to Newton, ten to Novena's malls and hospitals. Buyers: 66% Singaporean, 13% PR, 18% foreign.

Exit in 2030

  • +12% = S$7.48M (S$2,279 psf). +20% = S$8.02M (S$2,442 psf).
  • The project's 2-beds already sell at S$2,510–2,691 psf and its 3-beds at S$2,371–2,510. Both exits sit under them.
  • The Bukit Timah Road GLS site 400 m away needs S$3,113 psf to break even, 99-year.

Watch

  • Three bathrooms for four bedrooms. Bedrooms 2, 3 and 4 look compact on the plan and the plan prints no dimensions. Measure before you fall for the terrace.
  • Tenanted until Nov 2026. You cannot move in before then.
  • Three levels including the roof. The lift serves the bedroom and living levels only.
  • Lincoln Road, not Stevens. D11, one stop.

FloorHigh, per agent. Confirm
Recent rentNone for size. 2,100–2,200 sqft S$8,650

Why

  • The closest single-level big home to Stevens on this page. High floor, private lift, three balconies, renovated.
  • Plan prints the room areas: master 318 sqft, bedroom 3 180 sqft, bedroom 2 141 sqft, bedroom 4 129 sqft, plus a family hall and a maid's room with bath. Marketed as 5+1; the fifth "bedroom" is the family hall.
  • Ask psf equals what the project's 1,8xx sqft units fetch today (S$2,246–2,341 psf, Mar–Aug 2026). No size premium.
  • ACS Primary and SCGS within 1 km. Stevens and Newton both under 1 km.

Exit in 2030

  • +12% = S$7.62M (S$2,601 psf). +20% = S$8.16M (S$2,787 psf).
  • Cyan and Belmond Green, 120–150 m away, already trade at S$2,615–2,848 psf for smaller units.
  • Buyers: 70% Singaporean, 13% PR, 10% foreign. A school-district market.

Watch

  • Bedrooms 2 and 4 are 141 and 129 sqft. Fine for a child or a study, tight for a couple. That is why it sits below the five.
  • Only one big-unit caveat in two years, and the ask is 9% above it. Open at S$6.4M.
  • 1998 build. 36-month growth +0.7% a year. A space buy, not a growth buy.
  • The 3,014 sqft penthouse at S$7.0M (24181188) is three bedrooms plus a playroom by the agent's own description. Not a 4-bed.

Why

  • Ask psf is below what the project's 3-beds fetch today. A penthouse at a discount to the flats under it.
  • Plan checked: master, junior master, bedrooms 3 and 4 on one level, helper's room, private lift. Pool and garden upstairs.
  • Newest building on the page. 278 units keep it liquid: 20 sales since mid-2024.
  • Renovated by the owner's architect. Unblocked over Bukit Timah from the top floor.

Exit in 2030

  • +12% = S$8.96M (S$3,038 psf). +20% = S$9.60M (S$3,255 psf).
  • Needs 7–15% above today's 3-bed psf. Cyan 4-beds grew +5.3% a year over three years.
  • Buyers: 59% Singaporean, 27% foreign.

Watch

  • No same-size caveat. Six penthouses in the project; the last one sold at S$9.2M.
  • Two other penthouses ask S$9.41M–9.43M. This seller is the motivated one. Negotiable.
  • The same agent runs this unit under four different listing titles. Ignore the noise.
  • Roof pool and garden cost upkeep and sell to a narrower buyer.

Why

  • The closest big home to Stevens on the market. Three minutes under cover to the interchange.
  • Plan checked: master, bedrooms 2 and 3 and an office downstairs; junior master, 10 m pool and roof terrace upstairs. Four bedrooms, not the six advertised.
  • 2015 build, freehold, north-facing. SCGS and ACS Barker within 1 km.
  • Only two units this size in the project. Nothing else like it comes up.

Exit in 2030

  • +12% = S$9.97M (S$3,391 psf). +20% = S$10.68M (S$3,634 psf).
  • The Giverny Residences next door sells new at S$3,326–3,650 psf. That is the ceiling this exit leans on.
  • Buyers: 77% Singaporean, 13% PR, 10% foreign.

Watch

  • No comparable sale. The last 5-bed in the project went at S$2,568 psf in Oct 2024; this asks 18% more per foot.
  • The developer sold this type at S$1,941 psf in 2014. The seller is asking for a 56% gain.
  • The pool photo looks rendered. See the real terrace.

Same-size caveats are URA sales of the unit's own type, via EdgeProp and BuySafe, with the year shown. "Bedrooms on plan" is what the listing's floor plan shows; "sized" means the plan prints room dimensions or areas. BuySafe cannot score most of these: units of 3,000 sqft and up sell two to seven times in three years per project, below the sample the score needs (Scotts Highpark scores 12.0 on three sales, which means nothing). Read the caveat and rent columns first. Exit psf divides the +12% and +20% sale prices by the unit's area. Rent is the average of the latest URA rental contracts for the unit's size band via EdgeProp (leases Dec 2025 to Jul 2026): Scotts Highpark 3 contracts, Beverly Hill 8, The Edge 1, Vermont 1, Cyan 1. Gross yield is that rent over the asking price. The best rent here, The Edge at S$17,000, covers about 70% of its instalment at 2.5%. These are homes to live in and sell, not yield plays.

The exit test

Buy now, sell after year four

Funds at S$7M

S$2,109,600

25% down S$1,750,000 plus buyer's stamp duty S$359,600. Cash at least S$350,000. Legal fees excluded. ABSD excluded: nil for a Singaporean's first home, 20% for a second.

Monthly at S$7M

S$25,065

Loan S$5.25M, 30 years, 4% stress rate. Bank needs about S$45,600 a month of income. At 2.5% the instalment is about S$20,750.

Base case: +12%

2.9% a year

Beverly Hill's own type moved +4.6% a year from Apr 2024 to May 2026. Cyan 4-beds did +5.3% a year over three years. Seller's stamp duty is nil after four full years.

Upside: +20%

4.7% a year

Needs the new-launch ceiling next door to hold: Klimt Cairnhill at S$2,836–3,803 psf, Giverny at S$3,326–3,650 psf, the 99-year GLS sites at S$3,100–3,200 psf breakeven.

Sell inside year four and seller's stamp duty is 4% of the price. That lifts the growth needed to about 3.9% and 5.8%. The clock starts on the day the option is exercised. Scale the funds tile to the unit: Scotts Highpark at S$6.85M needs about S$2.06M up front, Beverly Hill at S$9.89M about S$3.0M.

Who buys from you in 2030

The buyer at S$6.5M–12M

Needs about S$2.0M–3.6M up front and S$42,000–80,000 a month of household income. Four groups buy big units at this level in D9–D11, and the caveats say who they have been.

Singaporean upgraders and downsizers

36–77% of buyers across the eight projects. Landed owners in Bukit Timah, Balmoral and Tanglin trading a house for one big floor with a lift. Families moving up from a 2,000 sqft 4-bed for a fifth room and a family hall.

Permanent residents

5% ABSD on a first home. 28% of Beverly Hill buyers, 15–16% at Scotts Highpark, Vermont and The Edge. The ACS and SCGS 1 km radius drives the Stevens and Balmoral picks.

Foreigners at local rates

US, Swiss, Norwegian, Icelandic and Liechtenstein nationals pay Singaporean ABSD under free-trade agreements. Foreigners were 38% of buyers at The Edge on Cairnhill, 28% at Vermont, 24% at Scotts Highpark, 23% at Beverly Hill.

Priced out of new launches

Klimt Cairnhill at S$2,836–3,803 psf, Giverny at S$3,326–3,650 psf, 21 Anderson at S$4,706 psf, Upperhouse at Orchard Boulevard at S$3,184–3,877 psf on 99-year land. The five exit at S$1,990–3,140 psf, freehold, with 3,175–4,435 sqft.
