Overview
Launched in 2009 with its striking Jenga-like design, The Interlace quickly became one of Singapore’s most iconic condos. It won global awards and made headlines, but how has it actually performed?
From 2009 to 2024, The Interlace achieved an annualised return of 3.05%, outperforming other 99-year condos in District 4, but trailing behind the islandwide average. We analysed its resale-only transactions, floor plans, and price trends to uncover what the headline ROI doesn’t show.
Key Insight
Despite strong resale volumes and early buzz, The Interlace has delivered mixed results. Its large unit sizes and unconventional layout appeal to a niche audience, which has affected price growth consistency over time.
Why This Matters
The Interlace demonstrates that design prestige alone is insufficient. For long-term value, demand fundamentals (like layout efficiency and price accessibility) still matter most. For buyers and investors, it’s a lesson in looking past the surface.

When The Interlace launched back in 2009, it was the condo everyone couldn’t stop talking about. Ole Scheeren’s audacious, Jenga‑like design landed it on magazine covers, won it the World Building of the Year award in 2015, and cemented its place as one of Singapore’s – if not the world’s – more iconic residential projects.
It didn’t just look interesting, by the way. The blocks were carefully arranged to frame the sunrise and sunset from various angles, and the centre of the project formed an elevated village centre. And The Interlace performed quite decently with an ROI of 3.05 per cent, from 2009 to 2024. Even now, it remains one of the most profitable projects in sheer transaction numbers.
But here’s the thing about just looking at ROI: there are a lot of nuances that get missed, and a lot of key details that get hidden. Here’s what the numbers don’t reveal about what’s going on at The Interlace:
The challenge for many buyers today isn't access to information.
It's interpreting that information in a way that makes sense for their finances, goals, and stage of life.
Over time, that's also why we decided to work with agents who shared the same data-driven and advisory-led approach behind our editorial, consultants who could help readers think through decisions more objectively, rather than simply push transactions.
Today, the team has worked with more than 2,000 clients across over $5B in property transactions.

Like many projects, The Interlace saw prices dip between 2013 and 2017, which was when property prices peaked, and then the government countered with cooling measures. The Interlace recovered, and by 2024, prices finally crossed the $1,600 psf mark.

There are a large number of units at the Interlace with outdoor terraces; and hence the psf does not necessarily reflect the resale price trend accurately.
