Four-bedroom unit at St Thomas Suites for sale at $4.65 mil

The property to be put up for auction by Knight Frank on Jan 17, a four-bedroom apartment at St Thomas Suites located along St Thomas Walk in the Orchard Road area, is an owner’s sale with a guide price of $4.65 million, says Karen Ker, assistant manager at the firm.

Ker expects the property to draw interest from prospective buyers since it is within walking distance of the Orchard Road shopping belt, 400m away from Somerset MRT Station on the North-South Line, and is close to several schools – River Valley Primary School at River Valley Green, Anglo-Chinese School (Junior) at Winstedt Road, Alexandra Primary School at Prince Charles Crescent, Singapore Chinese Girls’ School at Dunearn Road and Gan Eng Seng School at Henderson Road.

Measuring 2,012 sq ft, the guide price works out to $2,311 psf, and it will be sold with an existing tenancy until July 1. It has a private lift lobby that leads directly to the home’s entrance. The foyer opens to a living and dining area that overlooks a balcony with unblocked views of Orchard Road. It also has a dry and wet kitchen, service yard, utility room and powder room. Two of the four bedrooms are en suite.

St Thomas Suites was completed in 2010 by Frasers Property and consists of two 33-storey towers housing a total of 175 units. These include three- and four-bedders measuring between 1,819 and 2,605 sq ft and loft and penthouse units between 3,401 sq ft and 7,686 sq ft, as well as condominium facilities including a swimming pool, a tennis court, and a clubhouse with a gymnasium.

The most recent recorded transacted was a 26th-floor, 1,819 sq ft unit that was sold for $4.15 million ($2,281 psf) on June 30, 2022, indicating the highest psf price achieved for a unit at St Thomas Tengah Plantation EC Suites since January 2013, when another 1,819 sq ft unit was sold for $4.3 million ($2,364 psf). The highest psf record at the development was in September 2011, when a penthouse unit measuring 7,686 sq ft was sold for $22.33 million ($2,905 psf).
