Ang Mo Kio HDB Hits New Peak: $1.5M for 5-Room Flat in Park Central @ AMK

Advertisement

The Housing & Development Board (HDB) market in Ang Mo Kio has reached unprecedented heights with a landmark transaction in May 2026. A spacious 120 sqm five-room flat at Block 588B Ang Mo Kio Street 52 changed hands for an astonishing $1.5 million, setting a new benchmark for similar properties in the mature estate.

This record-breaking unit, situated on a premium high floor (between the 19th to 21st levels) within the sought-after Park Central @ AMK development, represents more than just another property sale - it signals the growing demand for well-located DBSS (Design, Build and Sell Scheme) flats with modern amenities. What makes this transaction particularly noteworthy is how it surpassed the previous area record by $20,000 despite being nearly ten floors below the former titleholder at Block 588D (28th to 30th floor).

The Park Central @ AMK project, completed in late-2011 as part of Singapore's DBSS initiative, continues to command premium prices due to its strategic location near Ang Mo Kio Hub and multiple MRT stations. Property analysts note that this latest transaction reflects both the enduring appeal of mature estates and buyers' willingness to pay top dollar for units with excellent layouts and convenient access to urban facilities.

Four-room, five-room, and even Executive units are now regularly transacting above the million-dollar mark, with certain mature estates seeing prices that rival private housing.Last year alone, nearly 40% of flats in Bukit Timah, over a quarter in the Central Area, and one in five in Bishan sold for more than $1 million. These figures are e

Affordable, Sustainable, Attainable — e,MAS 5 Is A Turning Point For Malaysian EVs
For years, many Malaysians viewed electric cars as something futuristic—exciting to look at, but far too expensive to consider. They were often associated with premium brands, high price tags, and tech trends that felt out of reach. But that perception is shifting quickly, and it’s largely thanks to a new national model that rolled onto Malaysian roads on 30 October 2026: the Proton e.MAS 5.This launch marks a turning point in the country’s move towards cleaner mobility.

But as the years go by, that redness can become more frequent, more intense and harder to ignore.By midlife, some individuals notice persistent facial redness, visible blood vessels, or acne-like bumps that appear without warning and linger longer than before.
