Following the sale of a double-storey executive maisonette in April, Sengkang recorded its first-ever S$1 million HDB flat.
It surpasses the estate’s previous record-breaking S$968,000 sale earlier in March.
The flat, which is strategically located near several prime amenities, has a remaining lease of 74 years and one month.
According to the Housing & Development Board (HDB) website, the 143 sqm maisonette is located between the seventh and ninth floors of Block 205B Compassvale Lane.

With its selling price of exactly S$1 million, the flat fetches a pricey rate of S$650 per square foot.
Mr Mohan Sandrasegeran, Head of Research & Data Analytics at Singapore Realtors Inc (SRI) said in a media release that the sale is a key milestone for Sengkang.
Since the first quarter of 2022, data showed the estate’s resale transactions inching consistently upwards to the million-dollar mark.
He added that the demand for bigger flats among “a specific niche of buyers who prioritise ample living space” is a crucial driver behind million-dollar HDB resale transactions.
In particular, such executive flats are perceived to be rare as HDB stopped building them since 1995. Their scarcity thus also explains their exorbitant resale prices.
Apart from its spacious layout, the maisonette is in close proximity to a number of services and amenities, further adding to its appeal.
The closest train stations are the Ranggung LRT station and Buangkok MRT station, both of which are within a walking distance of 500m from the block.

Noting Sengkang’s impressive transformation over the years, Mr Mohan said:
