How much did 8 St Thomas cost at launch?
Bukit Sembawang previewed the completed project on 25 and 26 August 2018 and sold more than 20 units, all above S$3,000 psf (EdgeProp, 1 September 2018). Based on caveats, the preview weekend averaged S$3,191 psf. The highest price was S$3,400 psf, for an 807 sq ft two-bedroom unit on the 31st floor (EdgeProp, 6 October 2018). About 70% of those buyers were Singaporeans; most of the rest were from Hong Kong.
Starting prices reported by EdgeProp in October 2018:
| Unit type | From |
|---|---|
| 1-bedroom | S$1.46 million |
| 2-bedroom (compact) | S$1.76 million |
| 3-bedroom | S$3.38 million |
| 4-bedroom | S$5.4 million |
| Penthouse | S$8.89 million |
EdgeProp's earlier preview report (1 September 2018) gave slightly different starting prices of S$1.42 million for one-bedroom units and S$1.78 million for two-bedroom units.
What are 8 St Thomas units selling and renting for now?
| Measure (past 12 months) | Figure | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Average sale price | S$2,989 psf | EdgeProp and Stacked Homes |
| Sale price range | S$2,663 to S$3,231 psf | EdgeProp |
| Number of sales | 6 | Stacked Homes |
| Latest sale | July 2026: 1,302 sq ft 3-bedroom, S$4.1 million (S$3,148 psf) | Stacked Homes |
| Median monthly rent | S$6,525 (98 leases, September 2025 to August 2026) | Stacked Homes |
Figures checked on 29 September 2026. We rechecked the latest sale: S$4.1 million divided by 1,302 sq ft is about S$3,149 psf, which matches the reported figure after rounding.
With only six sales in a year, the average moves a lot depending on which unit sizes changed hands. The past-year average is below the S$3,191 psf launch-weekend average, but the two samples have different unit mixes, so they are not a like-for-like comparison. For current prices, check URA's caveat data for the specific stack and size you are looking at.
What should buyers weigh up?
- Freehold in the Core Central Region. There is no lease decay to account for, unlike 99-year projects. For how lease length affects financing and CPF use elsewhere, see our lease decay guide.
- Small units dominate. EdgeProp reported that 133 units (53%) are one- or two-bedroom apartments, so most resale and rental competition within the project is in those sizes.
- Rail access improved after launch. When the project was sold in 2018, Great World station was still under construction. It opened in November 2022.
- Few transactions. Six sales in 12 months make price benchmarks thin. Compare against nearby freehold projects of a similar age before relying on any single figure.
