The transactions behind those figures20 of 62
Nothing modelled — these are the filed sales.
What the floor is worth
Floors 16+ against floors 1–5, Dakota Residences only. Median S$1,834 psf up top from 8 sales, S$1,689 psf low down from 19.
Middle of 7 projects in District 14 that clear the bar — half fall between +1.4% and +8.6%. 1 came out negative — high floors sold for less in 1 of them.
Every band in District 14, for reference. This pools all buildings in the town, so it carries the estates as well as the storeys — a town whose tall blocks are its newest ones will show a steeper climb than height alone buys. The two figures above are the ones that hold a building constant.
| Storeys | Median psf | Filed sales |
|---|---|---|
| 01-05 | S$1,449 | 667 |
| 06-10 | S$1,698 | 386 |
| 11-15 | S$1,724 | 304 |

URA Data Service — PMI_Resi_Transaction · accessed 2026-09-10T21:15:39.110Z. Storey bands are the source's own — no floor number is inferred from them. A premium is a median of filed transactions, not a valuation of any home.
What's around
Straight-line distance from the building — the walk is longer, and how much longer depends on what is in the way.

The 13 most recent are listed, out of 29 in the index at this radius. The floor band is what URA and HDB publish; neither feed carries a unit number.
The afternoon sun, and what is approved in it247°–293°
Seen from here, the sun sets at 247° (WSW) in December and 293° (WNW) in June — a swing of 47° across the year. A window on one of those bearings takes the low sun for part of the year and none of it for the rest.
Today the sun drops below 15° at 06:04 pm and sets at 07:00 pm, arriving from 273° (W). Above that angle it is over the roof rather than through the window; near the equator the midday sun is almost overhead, which is why this is only ever about the last hour.
Nothing published says which way a unit points — not URA, not HDB. You are the one standing in it, or holding the plan. If the floor plan carries a north arrow, the plan reader will read it off and say so when it cannot.
Nothing with planning permission sits on those bearings within 400m. That is a fact about this radius and these bearings, not a guarantee of a view — an application not yet decided does not appear here, and neither does anything further out.

What the land cost and what a unit sells for are not two ends of one sum. Between them sit construction over a multi-year build, financing, the development charge, marketing and agent commissions, GST, and the cost of holding unsold units. None of those is published for a named project, so this site does not estimate a developer’s cost or margin and no figure here should be read as one.
