  "account": "A five-room flat in Singapore's Pinnacle@Duxton complex is reportedly nearing the record-breaking title in Southeast Asia's priciest prime residential market. The 107-square-meter corner unit, situated between the 19th and 21st floors in Block 1C Cantonment Road, was recently granted an Option to Purchase on August 21. While the transaction has yet to conclude, it is poised to become the most expensive resale deal at Pinnacle@Duxton, surpassing a SGD1.70 million sale from September and edging closer to Singapore's national HDB resale record by just SGD8,000. The property features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a private foyer area in front of the main entrance, having remained largely unchanged since the original renovations after the owners moved in. Pinnacle@Duxton already holds the record for the highest development price in May 2026, with a five-room flat in Block B1 selling for SGD1.63 million. In September, another five-room flat in Block 1B raised the public benchmark to $1.70 million, making the pending SGD1.72 million deal only 1.1% shy of that record. The Pinnacle@Duxton deal would also be remarkably close to Singapore's overall HDB resale record, held by a five-room flat in City Vue @ Henderson, which sold for $1.728 million in April 2026. As of June, Singapore was Southeast Asia's most expensive prime residential market, with prices at $1,850 per square foot ($19,913 per square meter), significantly higher than neighboring cities like Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok.",
  "summary": "A five-room flat in Singapore, the most expensive prime residential market in Southeast Asia, has secured a buyer for SGD1.72 million (US$1.35 million), closely approaching the highest level in the city-state’s public housing record.",
