[SINGAPORE] Recently, my colleague Kalpana Rashiwala reported that a Swiss national bought a 3,057 square foot (sq ft) apartment at the freehold condominium The Marq on Paterson Hill, near Orchard Road, at S$6,274 per square foot (psf), amounting to a total of S$19.18 million.

SC Global Developments was the seller of the mid-level four-bedroom unit, and the buyer is understood to be Kristian Jebsen. He is a Swiss citizen and his family is selling out of integrated global shipping company Gearbulk Holding.

For sure, achieving over S$6,000 psf is not typical for transactions at The Marq based on a check of the Urban Redevelopment Authority’s (URA’s) Realis data. Caveats lodged for transactions of four-bedroom apartments between 2022 and 2024 showed prices in the range of S$4,208 psf to S$4,580 psf.

To mark World Mental Health Day (Oct 10), AsiaOne looks at how everyday Singaporeans cope with mental health issues in their lives.

With a comfortable amount of savings to back her up, Lena Ng assumed that quitting her full-time job as a client account manager, despite not having another job lined up, was a risk worth taking to spend more time with her child.

She took this leap of faith in December last year and began seriously job hunting in March, but to this day, she has yet to secure a new role.
