A PROFIT of S$3.46 million in just under three-and-a-half years is impressive.
The owner of a unit at the freehold luxury condominium Boulevard 88 along Orchard Boulevard achieved just that. It was bought for S$10.32 million or S$3,688 per square foot (psf) in July 2019, and sold for S$13.78 million or S$4,924 psf in December 2022.
