A five-room Housing and Development Board (HDB) flat at 96A Henderson Road was sold for S$1.728 million in April 2026.

This sets a new record price for an HDB resale flat in Singapore, according to EdgeProp.


The unit spans 113 square metres (1,216 square foot), which means the sale was about S$1,421 per square foot.

In comparison, the previous record was S$1.7 million at S$1,295 per square foot, for a five-room flat at 92 Dawson Road sold in February.

About the flat​

Part of the City Vue @ Henderson estate, the unit is located at the very top of the block, between the 46th and 48th storeys.

The higher-floor units reportedly enjoy unblocked views to the Southern Waterfront, and even the Singapore Flyer and the Central Business District in the distance.

Additionally, the property still has a very long lease of 92 years and one month.

Apart from these factors, its convenient location might have also contributed to the high transaction price.

The flat is located between Redhill and Tiong Bahru stations, relatively near the city centre, both under a 10-minute walk away.

Also within the vicinity are several pre-schools and primary schools, hawker centres, and Henderson Community Club.

In 2022, another five-room resale unit on the 41st storey of the same block on Henderson Road was sold for S$1.4 million.
 
That's crazy. Youngsters need to have rich parents or be very successful themselves in order own anything in sg. Also, why would anyone want to live 48 floors up?!:eek:

Really! Shocking price. 48 floor can overlook many places?

Yes, the view would be fantastic. But factor it the exposure to the relentless heat from the sun and uv rays, the full force of the rain and wind, the elevator travel time, possible lift breakdowns, etc, all make for a lousy proposition.:biggrin:

Living in a low SES HDB flat as a tenant after paying over a million dollars is a ridiculous proposition to begin with.

Unfortunately, that's the only proposition we have. And most have to accept. Uniquely (and fucked up) Singapore.
 
How dare Goh Chok Tong ever promise S'poreans a "Swiss standard of living" unless 85% of Swiss nationals have to live in public housing that does not belong to them, but to the state?
 
Henderson got what atas school?
I know there are parents who are willing to invest in property near to better primary school.
