This 32-Year-Old Executive HDB Just Sold For A Record $1.412 Million In Kallang/Whampoa — Here’s Why
A 32-year-old flat at 46 Bendemeer Road has just set a record resale price for an executive flat in the Kallang/Whampoa area. The 1,549 sq ft flat, which sits on the 19th – 21st floors, changed hands for a record $1.412 million when it was sold this week, the price translates to $911 psf on the floor area.
This trumps the previous price high of $1.318 million ($838 psf) which was set in August 2024 by another executive flat in the same HDB block. That 1,571 sq ft flat is also on the 19th – 21st floors. The price gap is a marginal $94,000.
The record setting sales are located in a HDB development which is bounded between Bendemeer Road and Serangoon Road, with some of the blocks facing the Kallang River. This HDB estate is next to a cluster of landed homes along Beng Wan Road as well as Bendemeer Primary School.
The HDB estate consists of five HDB blocks with a mix of three- and five-room flats, as well as executive flats. There are 64 executive flats housed in Block 46 Bendeemer Road, which were completed around 1994. This means that the flats have a remaining lease of about 67 years.
According to HDB transactions records, there was also the sale of another executive flat at that block in October 2024. That 1,571 sq ft flat on the 16th – 18th floors fetched $1.2 million ($763 psf) when it was sold nearly two years ago.
Overall, the flats at Block 46, and the surrounding flats, benefit from a host of locational attributes like its proximity to the city centre and convenient transport connectivity, such as Boon Keng MRT station on the North East Line and Geylang Bahru MRT on Downtown Line. It is also near to established schools including Bendemeer Primary, Hong Wen Primary and St Andrew’s School (Junior).
Within the vicinity of this block, there is a comprehensive range of eateries such as Geylang Bahru Market and Food Centre and Bendemeer Market and Food Centre. The Kallang Park Connector is also nearby.
Introduced in 1984, Executive Apartments (EA) belong to a category of discontinued flats that are now only available on the resale market. In general, these types of flats are highly sought after due to their generous space – typically ranging from 1,300 – 1,500 sq ft – as well as their location in established and mature residential towns and estates.
These flats often feature larger unit sizes that can be used for a variety of purposes such as an extra study, while some include balconies.
This neighbourhood along Bendemeer Road comprises several older HDB developments which house executive flats like these. For example, blk 48 Bendemeer Road has 60 executive flats that span around 1,571 sq ft, and this block is located about a 10 minute walk from Boon Keng MRT Station on the North-East Line.
Over on Mcnair Road is Mcnair Spring, which houses a mix of three- to five-room flats as well as 103 executive flats. The executive flats range from 1,507 – 1,701 sq ft. There have been seven resale transactions involving executive flats at Mcnair Spring since June 2024, with deals ranging from $1.08 million to $1.18 million.
