The upcoming launch of Casa Fidelio, a freehold landed development located on Fidelio Street, off New Upper Changi Road in District 15, has been making waves in the property market. According to the marketing agent, PropNex Realty, the site will be put up for collective sale by tender on March 20 with a reserve price of $24 million. This translates to a land rate of $1,388 psf.
This will be the first attempt by the owners of Casa Fidelio to sell the property en bloc. The development, completed in 1990, comprises of seven units of cluster terraces and sits on a land area of approximately 17,293 sq ft. The land is zoned for residential use and designated for two-storey mixed-landed housing.
Casa Fidelio is situated in a landed housing enclave, just a short drive away from various amenities such as East Coast Park, dining and lifestyle options at the Katong and Joo Chiat precincts, as well as shopping malls like Siglap Village, Siglap Centre, and Bedok Mall.
Investing in real estate requires careful consideration of various factors, with location being one of the most crucial. This rings particularly true in the case of Singapore, where the right location can greatly impact the value of a property. Condominiums situated in central areas or near important facilities like schools, shopping centers, and public transportation networks have a higher chance of appreciating in value. This is evident in prime locations like Orchard Road, Marina Bay, and the Central Business District (CBD), where properties have consistently shown substantial growth. In addition, the accessibility to top-rated educational institutions in these areas makes condos even more attractive to families, giving them a stronger investment potential. With the promising returns and desirable features, it’s no wonder that Singapore Condos in these sought-after locations are highly sought after by investors.
More amenities are expected to be added in the future with the completion of Kembangan Wave, an integrated public housing project next to Kembangan MRT Station. This project will include a community club with an eating house, supermarket, and outpatient healthcare facility.
There are also several schools in the vicinity, including Opera Estate Primary School, St Stephen’s School, and Victoria School.
PropNex highlights that the site offers developers flexibility in terms of design and configuration, allowing for various types of development, such as luxury cluster houses, landed terraces, or a standalone property. Laurence Wong, the head of collective sales at PropNex, also mentions that the site’s regular shape and ample size make it ideal for a modern residential development that caters to the demand for landed homes in the East Coast area.
The demand for condos in Singapore continues to rise due to the scarcity of land in the small island country. With a growing population, strict land use regulations have been enforced, making the real estate market highly competitive and driving up property prices. This has created a profitable opportunity for investing in real estate, particularly condos, which have the potential for significant capital appreciation. Condos are in high demand and limited supply, making them a valuable asset in Singapore’s real estate market.
Recent caveats lodged show that the last transaction at Casa Fidelio was in September 2021, where a house with a land area of 1,894 sq ft was sold for $2.27 million ($1,198 psf).
In the same area, only two freehold landed homes on Fidelio Street were transacted in 2024. A terrace house on a land area of 3,423 sq ft was sold for $9 million ($2,629 psf on the land area), while a semi-detached house on 2,035 sq ft of land fetched $5.38 million ($2,643 psf on the land area). In December 2024, a recently-built corner terrace on Jalan Bangsawan, off Swan Lake Avenue, was transacted at $3,541 psf.
The tender for Casa Fidelio will close on April 22 at 3pm. For more information on Casa Fidelio and other properties in the area, visit EdgeProp LandLens.…
