Aman Residences Singapore Opens at $6,501 PSF, Sets City-State Benchmark
The Skywaters sale exceeds prior luxury records, marking branded-residence pricing power in a market already crowded with ultra-high-net-worth product.
A Singapore permanent resident paid $6,501 per square foot for the first closed unit at The Skywaters, Aman's inaugural residential project in the city-state. The transaction establishes a new price ceiling for branded residences in Singapore, a market where $5,000 PSF had previously marked the upper boundary for non-landed luxury product.
The Skywaters sits in the Havelock Road precinct, adjacent to the historic Tiong Bahru estate. Developer Far East Organization and Sekisui House partnered with Aman to deliver 73 residences across a 29-story tower, with unit sizes ranging from approximately 1,400 to 6,000 square feet. Construction completion is scheduled for Q4 2026. The buyer's identity remains undisclosed, though the permanent-resident status signals Southeast Asian or Northeast Asian wealth, consistent with Aman's core clientele in the region.
The price matters because Singapore's luxury residential market had appeared to plateau. Comparable branded developments—including The Ritz-Carlton Residences at Cairnhill and Bulgari Residences at Scotts Square—sold in the $4,800 to $5,200 PSF range between 2021 and 2023. The Aman premium suggests that brand equity, not just location or specification, now commands measurable pricing power in a supply-constrained market. Singapore approved only 9,200 private residential units in 2024, down 18% from the prior year, while ultra-high-net-worth individuals continue to domicile in the city-state for tax and stability reasons.
For hospitality operators and brand licensors, the transaction validates the residences-as-anchors model. Aman operates 35 hotels globally but only 11 branded residential projects, with developments in New York, Miami, and Tokyo already trading above comparable luxury benchmarks. The Singapore sale demonstrates that the brand can extract premium pricing in dense urban markets, not just resort destinations. Developers watching this closely include those in Hong Kong, where branded-residence supply has stalled since 2022, and in Dubai, where Aman recently announced a Palm Jumeirah project.
Allocators should track three follow-on events. First, whether the remaining 72 units at The Skywaters maintain or exceed the $6,501 PSF baseline through mid-2025, when the bulk of closings are scheduled. Second, whether competing luxury brands—particularly Rosewood, which launched Singapore residences in 2023—reprice upward or hold positioning. Third, whether Aman accelerates its Asia-Pacific residential pipeline; the company has disclosed interest in Seoul and Sydney but has not committed capital.
Singapore's Urban Redevelopment Authority will release Q1 2025 price index data in April. The Skywaters transaction will not appear in aggregate statistics until then, but developers are already adjusting pro formas.
The takeaway
Aman's **$6,501 PSF** Singapore sale sets a new branded-residence ceiling in Asia's most supply-constrained luxury market.

Your next customer won't visit your website. Their AI will.
AI assistants have quietly taken over the first step of buying — they answer from catalogs they can read and shortlist whoever can actually ship. Two questions now decide whether you exist to that buyer: can a machine read your catalog, and can you fulfill the order. Most brands fail one or both and never find out why the orders went elsewhere. The winners of this shift aren't the loudest. They're the most readable. Build for the machine that's about to do the shopping.
Built by the craft floor — apparel, media, packaging, and secure print.
This trade runs on hands, not desks. Imprint manufacturing & Komori Press · Canon high-speed secure-media operations is a craft floor — genuine Six Sigma discipline applied to ink, thread, foil, and registration, where a hundredth of an inch is the difference between a brand that reads serious and one that reads cheap. POPS4 is built by exactly those operators: independent, boots-on-the-ground engineers who carry their own book, read a client in microseconds, and put their name on every run. Beyond our own Virginia Beach floor, we work with a vetted network of craft manufacturers across the US — each meeting the highest excellence in QC standards in the industry, each a specialist in its own discipline — so apparel, hard-goods imprinting, media manufacturing, packaging, and secure printing all go to the bench built for them, coordinated from one accountable hub.
