Starlight Suites
River Valley Close · D09 · Core central region · Apartment
The median sale at Starlight Suites was $1,680,000 — $2,018 psf — across 32 transactions between Oct 2021 and Sept 2026. Freehold.
Starlight Suites saw two sales in the past 12 months. A median over that is a record of what happened, not a rate you could expect to transact at.
What it costs per month of lease
Starlight Suites is freehold, so there is no lease to divide by and no expiry to discount towards. That is the whole of what a buyer is paying the freehold premium for. It runs about a tenth over leasehold on resales in the core central region and in the suburbs, and the city fringe reads the other way. Why that is, and why the national figure is bigger and worse.

What it rents for
URA’s median of rental contracts lodged at Starlight Suites in 2026Q3, per square foot per month.
Gross, and the word is doing work. It is before property tax, maintenance and sinking fund, agent commission on each new tenancy, the months between tenants, income tax on the rent, and the mortgage. A net figure would need assumptions about a particular buyer that this site does not get to make.

Transactions from the Urban Redevelopment Authority, covering Oct 2021 to Oct 2026. URA publishes a rolling five-year window; months before it are held in this site’s own archive. A caveat is lodged after a sale is agreed, so the most recent weeks are always incomplete.
