Does it matter to your resale gains, if your condo has a waterfront view, inward-facing view, greenery view, etc.? This is one of the most common questions we’re faced with, and it’s not viable to give a universal answer. It really boils down to the condo in question. So in this series on different views and the impact on pricing, we’re going to examine different projects on a standalone basis; and this week we’re focusing on Seaside Residences.

A profile of Seaside Residences

Seaside Residences is a leasehold condo that was completed quite recently, in 2021. It’s located at 10 Siglap Link, placing it in District 15. This 841-unit condo makes a good case study, as it’s both sizeable and has notably different facings:

There are 27 blocks in this project, and all the units have an outward facing. But notice that some units have a view of East Coast Beach, whilst some units have a view of the landed enclave along Marine Parade Road, in the direction of Victoria School.

Frequently asked questions

Does having a sea view guarantee higher resale profits?

Not necessarily. The analysis of Seaside Residences shows that units with sea views did not always deliver better resale gains compared to units with other views, such as landed or greenery views.

How does the floor level affect the view premium at Seaside Residences?

Higher floor units, typically from the eighth floor and above, tend to have better sea views or land views, which can influence the view premium. However, the actual resale gains depend on various factors and may not always reflect the initial view premium.

Did units with unblocked sea views at Seaside Residences perform better in resale?

The resale performance of units with unblocked sea views varied. For example, units in Stack 8 with unblocked sea views did not necessarily make higher profits than those with partial views, and some units with less optimal views achieved higher gains.

Are view premiums at Seaside Residences consistent across different floors?

View premiums tend to increase on higher floors, as seen with Stack 25, where the premium grew from about 5.6% on lower floors to over 7% on higher floors. However, the actual resale profit does not always correlate directly with these premiums.

Which view type at Seaside Residences yielded better resale profits in the case of two-bedroom units?

In the case of two-bedroom units, the units with sea views (Stack 27) generally showed larger profits compared to those with landed views (Stack 32), indicating that sea views may have an advantage in resale gains for this unit type.

Great article. Agree that looks like sea view performed better, with a premium for higher floors. However, there’s a critical mistake in your article, Stack 31 does NOT have a private lift whereas Stack 29 does. This might mean we need to flip your conclusion. The CORRECT conclusion is therefore that private lifts seem to lead to a higher return.

Hi Germaine, thanks for catching that (and for being patient while we got it sorted). You’re right, we mixed up Stack 29 and Stack 31 regarding the private lift in the data, and that threw us off. That’s on us. We’ve fixed it in the article, and there’s now a correction note to make it clear.

I know it’s frustrating when something like that slips through, especially when you’ve taken the trouble to point it out. We should’ve acknowledged it sooner instead of leaving you hanging, so that part’s on us too.

Appreciate you holding us to a higher standard; it keeps us transparent and focused.
