How much does it cost to construct a condominium in Singapore?

79 views
Construction costs for a condominium in Singapore typically range from S$300 to S$600 per square foot (psf) of gross floor area (GFA), depending on location, project scale, quality of materials, and site conditions.

Key Factors Influencing Costs

  • Location and Region: Higher in Core Central Region (CCR) due to premium finishes and complexity; lower in Outside Central Region (OCR). For example, developers factor these into pricing models alongside land costs for launches around S$2,400 psf in OCR.
  • Project Specifications: Basic mass-market condos start at S$300–400 psf, while luxury ones exceed S$500–600 psf, covering structural works, MEP systems, facades, and landscaping.
  • Recent Trends: Rising material and labor costs (e.g., steel, concrete) have pushed averages up 5–10% annually, with 2026 projections reflecting fixed developer cost bases amid new launches.
