The Pinnacle @ Duxton won numerous awards for innovative design, including the Skyrise Greenery Award and the Best Tall Building Award from the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat. It is also a popular tourist attraction, with visitors able to access the skybridges for a fee to enjoy panoramic views of the city.
The Pinnacle @ Duxton HDB estate has set a new record with a 4 room HDB flat sold at $1.4 mil in April this month after hitting a record of $1.4 million for a 5 room flat as reported in 99.co previously.
This 4 room flat that was sold at $1.4 mil is located at Block 1C Cantonment Road within the 46-48 floor range spanning 95 sqm (1,023 sqft) making it the most expensive 4-room HDB resale flat on record on both quantum price and price per-square-foot (psf) in Singapore's entire history.
"The $1,369 psf price achieved for the 4 room HDB is possible because of The Pinnacle @ Duxton's strategic location and iconic design that is unparalleled among all other current HDB estates." said Kiwi Lim from Huttons Asia. "The strategic location coupled with the award winning iconic design of the development, plus the URA's CBD Incentive Scheme to revitalise Tanjong Pagar's Central Business District, I believe we will may see prices pushing close to $1,500 psf by the end of this year for this iconic award winning HDB development right next to the upcoming mega development of The Greater Southern Waterfront."
"The Central Business District within Tanjong Pagar is currently seeing a major transformation and within the next ten years, Tanjong Pagar will be a very appealing address for locals and expatriates to live, play and work in. In essence, residents of The Pinnacle @ Duxton will benefit from the URA CBD Incentive Scheme which is expected to rejuvenate the CBD creating a more intimate, people-friendly environment with walkable streets and public spaces." said Kiwi Lim from Huttons Asia.

URA's CBD Incentive Scheme
Changing global trends are reshaping the way and spaces in which people live, work and play. To attract talent, business districts all over the world are racing to become attractive places that cater to the varied needs of modern lifestyles. Singapore’s Downtown, comprising the Central Business District (CBD) and Marina Bay, is no exception.
To better support the continued growth and evolution of our CBD as a dynamic global hub, the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) - a statutory board in Singapore that oversees the physical planning and development of the city-state has launched various incentive schemes to encourage sustainable development and improve the quality of life in Singapore's Central Business District (CBD) by introducing a new set of incentives to reposition our CBD as a 24/7 mixed-use district so that the CBD will not only be a place to work, but also a vibrant place to live and play in.
One of the URA's key initiatives is the CBD Incentive Scheme (CBDIS), which aims to encourage building owners to rejuvenate and enhance the quality of their buildings and public spaces in the CBD. The scheme offers a range of incentives to property owners who carry out approved renovation or enhancement works, such as facade improvement, sheltered walkways, and public spaces improvements.
