UpperHouse at Orchard Boulevard, a 99-year leasehold project in District 10, has reported robust sales during its private preview, with over 53% of its 301 units sold at an average price of $3,350 per square foot (psf). This marks the strongest take-up rate for a new project in the Core Central Region (CCR) since Watten House launched in November 2023, selling 57% of its 180 units.
The impressive sales performance of UpperHouse comes amidst another CCR launch, The Robertson Opus, which is also showing promising results. Kelvin Fong, CEO of PropNex, noted that the combined supply of new homes from UpperHouse and The Robertson Opus represents the largest influx of units in the CCR since the additional buyer’s stamp duty (ABSD) was tightened in April 2023.
The positive reception of these projects could stimulate further interest in the CCR market, with expectations for a rebound in developer sales by Q3 2025. Notably, the units sold at UpperHouse during the preview have already surpassed the total CCR new units sold in Q2 2025.
UpperHouse’s pricing is considered competitive, especially when compared to nearby developments. For instance, Park Nova’s new units averaged $6,150 psf, while Boulevard 88’s resale units were around $4,200 psf. Cuscaden Reserve’s resale units averaged over $3,100 psf in early 2025. The pricing at UpperHouse, particularly for one and two-bedroom units, aligns with the budget of many buyers, offering a compelling value proposition for luxury living near Orchard Road.
Located in a private residential enclave, UpperHouse benefits from excellent connectivity via the Orchard Boulevard MRT station and proximity to commercial amenities like Tanglin Mall and Orchard Road stores, enhancing convenience for future residents.
