Even as cranes still crown the skyline, Singapore’s forthcoming Skywaters tower has already made headlines, with an Aman-branded residence selling at a record $6,501 per square foot. The price signals robust demand at the top of the market and underlines the influence of branding on property values. The deal lands in a region where Asia Pacific investment in commercial real estate reached US$63.8 billion in 3Q2025, up 56.8% year on year, underscoring resilient capital flows.
Set within The Skywaters, a 63-storey mixed-use skyscraper designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the Aman offering sits in a project slated to be Singapore’s tallest at 305 meters. Location plays its part too, perched between the Central Business District, Marina Bay, and the Greater Southern Waterfront, a trifecta with lasting appeal.
At 305 meters, SOM’s Skywaters anchors a prime nexus of CBD, Marina Bay, and the Southern Waterfront.
The residences themselves occupy levels 28 to 30, a slender slice of the tower that promises sweeping city and sea views. Large floor plates, curated finishes, and service standards associated with Aman are expected. This luxury development follows global trends where lower interest rates have made high-end property purchases more affordable for wealthy buyers.
Beyond private homes, the development mixes residential, commercial, and hotel uses across roughly 1.5 million square feet, an approach that spreads risk and concentrates convenience.
Aman Singapore, targeted to open in 2028, extends the brand’s pivot toward city addresses, following launches in Tokyo and Bangkok. The move keeps its craftsmanship-forward ethos intact, yet places it amid urban energy, not just remote retreats.
In Singapore, the hotel will include a full-floor spa with an infinity pool, multiple food and beverage venues, and access to a range of Skywaters amenities. The Aman Singapore hotel will occupy levels 24-26 of The Skywaters.
For buyers, the record price per square foot is more than a headline, it is a benchmark. It reflects tight supply at the ultra-luxury end, steady wealth inflows, and a preference for blue-chip locations with enduring liquidity.
It also shows how the Aman name, like an artwork’s provenance, can lift valuations in mixed-use settings.
The broader tower will house about 190 units under its own brand alongside the Aman homes, widening the appeal without diluting exclusivity.
Designed by SOM, the team behind globally recognized landmarks, the architecture aims for clarity and poise rather than flash.
If execution matches ambition, Skywaters could reshape expectations for city living in Singapore, and raise the bar for what $6,501 per square foot can buy.
