A one-bedroom unit at Marina One Residences just changed hands at $1,716 psf — and if you’ve been watching this development closely, that number stings. That’s a new resale low for the project, with some data sources pegging it even lower at $1,702 psf depending on how the transaction’s recorded. Either way, we’re talking about a CBD luxury address that once commanded north of $3,000 psf now struggling to hold the $1,800 line.

Here’s the part most commentators won’t say out loud: this isn’t just a one-bedroom problem. It’s a signal. One-bedders tend to be the most liquid unit type in any development, which means they’re also the first to reflect genuine market sentiment. When they slide, they’re telling you something the mid-sized units haven’t priced in yet. Marina One’s average transacted psf has already dropped from roughly $2,134 in 2024 to around $1,944 across 2026 sales to date — that’s a meaningful compression in under two years.
Compare this to Marina Bay Residences nearby, where average psf still holds around $2,053 to $2,144. Marina One, which was arguably positioned as a premium product given its mixed-use integration and grade-A office podium, is now trading below several of its Marina Bay neighbours. That’s a reversal most buyers didn’t anticipate when they entered at launch or during the 2021 peak.
For buyers and investors watching this space, the math is starting to shift in your favour — but only if you’re patient. Gross rental yields are creeping toward 4%, and if rents hold, recent price levels offer better entry fundamentals than anything we’ve seen since the project’s early resale days. The catch is that listing inventory sits at over 300 units, which means sellers are competing hard against each other.
What I’ll be watching is whether this $1,716 psf trade becomes a floor or a stepping stone to further declines. With inventory this elevated and buyer sentiment cautious, the next few quarters will tell us whether Marina One is bottoming out — or still finding it. The contrast is hard to ignore when River Green just set a CCR record of S$3,130 psf during its launch weekend in August 2025, underscoring how bifurcated luxury pricing has become across Singapore’s prime districts.
