Read with care

No rental contracts are registered here yet, so there is no yield and the prices are launch pricing — a pre-handover building. Price growth from launch is not comparable with a let building's.

Price history and sales

As filed with the Land Department — data to 2026-10-12.

Median price paid by year, 1 bed, with fainter bars resting on fewer sales. Too few monthly records in Ellington Sands I - Tower A to draw an honest monthly line.

Did earlier buyers gain?

Median paid per sqft, all types, against today’s 2,778 · before fees

Launch, 2025–26: 2,778; 0%; 320 sales
Last 12 months: 2,778; today; 320 sales

The change is what a buyer at each median would be up or down at today’s median. A shift in the unit mix can move a median without any unit changing price.

No resales match the last 12 months. Try another transaction type, bedroom type or period.
