Transaction details
The record-breaking flat is a 5-room (Type S2) unit measuring 1,130 sqft, located on the 49th to 51st floor of Block 1G, Cantonment Road. At a price of S$1.6M, this translates to approximately S$1,415 per square foot (psf). Sitting on the 49th–51st floors, the unit offers panoramic views of Marina Bay, Sentosa, and the CBD skyline. High-floor Pinnacle units regularly command 8–12% premiums over mid-floor counterparts.
Completed in 2011 with a 99-year lease, Pinnacle@Duxton’s flats crossed their Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) in 2016, making them fully eligible for resale. Since then, million-dollar deals have become a regular occurrence here, driven by the estate’s unbeatable location and architectural distinction.

What makes this sale stand out
Pinnacle@Duxton remains Singapore’s only public housing project featuring two 50th-floor skybridges, making it a perpetual buyer favourite.
Even with recent tightening of LTV rules, Pinnacle@Duxton continues to record multiple S$1.5M+ transactions in 2025, demonstrating strong end-user and investor demand. While Pinnacle@Duxton has long been admired for its landmark architecture and skybridge panoramas, it’s what’s unfolding around it now that’s truly elevating its allure.
Located in District 2, Pinnacle@Duxton sits right in the heart of Singapore’s Central Business District (CBD), and this prime positioning has always been one of the biggest drivers behind its record-breaking prices.
The project is incredibly well-connected. Outram Park MRT, serviced by the East-West, North-East, and Thomson–East Coast Lines, is just a 7-minute walk away, with Tanjong Pagar and Maxwell MRT also easily accessible, putting Orchard, Marina Bay, and Raffles Place well within reach. With upcoming stations like Cantonment and Prince Edward Road on the Circle Line slated to open soon, residents will enjoy even more seamless travel across the island.
Within the development itself, residents enjoy a set of standout exclusive facilities rarely found in HDB projects. Pinnacle boasts two iconic sky gardens (open to the public for a small fee), a jogging track, a childcare centre, and even a food court conveniently located within the property.
When it comes to lifestyle and amenities, Pinnacle’s surroundings are hard to beat. Guoco Tower, Icon Village, Amara Hotel, and Tanjong Pagar Plaza are all nearby, offering an array of shopping, dining, and entertainment options right at your doorstep.
Food lovers will also appreciate the proximity to famous hawker gems like Maxwell Food Centre and Amoy Street Food Centre, as well as trendy cafés tucked away in Keong Saik and Duxton Hill.
For families with school-going children, there’s one caveat to note: Cantonment Primary School is the only school within a 1km radius. That said, there are several reputable options within 2km, including CHIJ Kellock, Zhangde Primary, and Radin Mas Primary, making Pinnacle attractive for younger families willing to commute slightly further.
Healthcare facilities are also close by, with Singapore General Hospital and Outram Polyclinic within a few minutes’ drive, while green spaces like Duxton Plain Park and walking trails toward Marina Bay give residents easy access to calm escapes from city life.
With major upcoming projects like Keppel South Central—a Grade A, BCA Green Mark Platinum office and lifestyle tower with 650,000 sqft of smart workspaces—the area is set to see a fresh injection of businesses, eateries, and employment opportunities. This makes Pinnacle@Duxton not just a historical landmark, but also a forward-looking investment as the CBD continues to transform into a live-work-play precinct.
Finally, Duxton Hill; the conserved heritage enclave nearby, is quietly emerging as a cultural and social hub, offering preserved shophouse charm, pedestrian-friendly streets, and café-lined alleys that enrich an already vibrant city-living experience.

Price appreciation at Pinnacle@Duxton
Pinnacle@Duxton has seen exceptional price growth over the past few years. In 2019, average psf for 5-room units was around S$849 psf. By 2024, it had risen to S$1,354 psf. However, when we look specifically at high-floor units (46-52), the average psf in the same period has risen from S$911 to S$1,415.
While The Pinnacle@Duxton continues to command a premium over the wider Central HDB market, the past five years tell an interesting story. Between 2020 and 2025, prices at Pinnacle grew by about 38%, while 5-room and larger flats across the Central region rose by a stronger 56%. This means that although Pinnacle remains the benchmark project with higher absolute PSF, the broader Central HDB market has been catching up at a faster pace.
At the same time, Pinnacle continues to outshine the rest of Singapore in terms of price, with 5-room flats transacting at an average psf that is 119% higher than the national average.
So far, Pinnacle’s iconic architecture, central location, and limited supply have held sway. However, as newer prime-location projects enter the resale market under the Prime Location Housing (PLH) model, and as Central HDB flats continue to post stronger growth, the relative gap may narrow.
We’ll be keeping an eye on how these shifts play out, and if you’re curious about how other iconic HDB projects and neighbourhoods are performing, you’ll find plenty more analysis on the 99.co blog! Happy reading.
