If you followed my earlier piece on condos racing the 2023 ABSD deadline, what we predicted is now unfolding. One highlighted project is at a critical juncture — is it a steal, or has the window closed?
Cuscaden Reserve, Relaunched at ~$2,900 psf
Cuscaden Reserve (prestigious Cuscaden Road, District 10) has adjusted prices to an attractive ~$2,900 psf — a significant cut from the last transacted median of ~S$3,777 psf (December 2023) and about a 20% reduction from the initial ~$3,600 psf. Why the adjustment? The Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty (ABSD) deadline extension gives developers more time to sell unsold units, and to incentivise sales Cuscaden Reserve adjusted its pricing — a golden window for buyers.
Is $2,900 psf a Good Entry?
Location — surrounded by five-star hotels, Michelin-starred dining and Orchard Road shopping, with a clubhouse, gym, yoga garden, pool and concierge. Residences — Bauhaus-inspired layouts from 1-bedroom+study to 3-bedroom+study with private lift access, with privacy and views from the fifth floor up. Developer — a joint venture of SC Global, New World Development and Far East Consortium, all with strong luxury pedigrees.
District 10's Resilience
The district has a track record of stable appreciation, scarce land and a mature market, with luxury prime property historically insulated from fluctuations by high-net-worth demand and safe-haven status; future growth is projected at ~2–4% annually. Nearby resale hovers around S$3,200–S$3,500 psf (Park Nova and 3 Orchard By The Park exceed $3,500), so ~$2,900 psf is a 10–30% discount to the recent resale range — a strategic entry point with promising capital-appreciation potential. With only 192 units across two towers, this limited-time offer won't last.
