MARINE Point, a freehold residential development at Marine Parade Road, is up for collective sale with a $110 million price tag.

Marine Point: The site can be re-developed into 90-100 apartments averaging 1,000 sq ft each

The indicative price for the 18-storey block works out to $1,116 per square foot per plot ratio (psf ppr), including an estimated development charge of $10 million.

The project has a site area of 51,185 sq ft and a 2.1 gross plot ratio, giving a maximum gross floor area of 107,489 sq ft.

The existing development comprises 30 apartments and two penthouses.

ERA Asia Pacific, which is conducting the public tender for the sale, estimates that the site can be re-developed to accommodate around 90-100 apartments averaging 1,000 sq ft each.

More than 80 per cent of the owners by share value and strata floor area have signed the collective agreement. The tender for Marine Point closes at 3.30pm on Nov 18.

Separately, the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) said yesterday that it has accepted an application from an unnamed developer to put up a 30-year leasehold industrial site at Pioneer Road North/Soon Lee Street for sale.

The 1.44 hectare land parcel was made available for sale through the government's Reserve List system on May 27 this year. Sites on the Reserve List are only put up for tender if a developer indicates a minimum bid price in an application, and that bid price is deemed to be acceptable.

The unnamed developer has committed to bid at least $13.8 million, or $44 psf ppr, for the land parcel. But Savills Singapore's industrial director Dominic Peters said the top bid could be in the region of $60-$70 psf ppr.

'There should be strong demand for the site as the industrial sector is still very open to investors, unlike other segments of Singapore's property market,' Mr Peters said.

The land parcel has a maximum gross plot ratio of 2.0. It is zoned for 'Business 2' use, which means it can be developed for a variety of uses such as clean, light and general industries which include industries related to bio-technology, vehicle repair and servicing, and manufacture of electrical and electronic products.

The tender for the site will be launched in two weeks' time.

1050 is the expected cost for the future development. Not the current one, since the existing block is not built to the max. the effective psf for the owner now is abt 1500.

Bad taste to you? Never mind. I prefer to maintain my taste regardless of what others think (Just like fashion trends, old trend will soon be recylced to be new trend and new trend become out-of-fashion or OBIANG :D). 1 of the new trend like glass walls with flat/zero facade all around I heard of have a serious problem - residents make sure have to close all windows when going to sleep because when it rains, the parquet floors all become drenched! Worse still, those small units with small bedrooms will get rains onto their beds (so much so for the trend but not practical to live in with open windows for fresh air)!

Too bad, those sounding or proclaiming to be "property expert" doesn't seem to be able to make much money from properties! They just like to and are only good at making loud comments (despite the self proclaimed "Lord" but "Anuls"?) :tongue3:

The report says that the plot can be redeveloped to 25 storeys. I am not sure how true this is, but that would easily make it the tallest building in Marine Parade area.
Most are 18-19 storeys only.

Two developments up for collective sale

By Esther Teo

http://www.straitstimes.com/STI/STIMEDIA/image/20101026/b6.jpg

CARDIFF Court, off Lorong Chuan, is being launched for collective sale today with a $25 million price tag.

The 21-unit project, on a 43,491 sq ft residential leasehold site, can be redeveloped into a project of up to five storeys.

The lease has 72 years left. The potential gross floor area (GFA) of a new project there is about 60,887 sq ft.

Marketing agent Teakhwa Real Estate said the District 19 property is expected to fetch about $25 million.

That works out to $519.50 per sq ft per plot ratio (psf ppr) - including estimated development charges of $6.63 million to top up the lease to 99 years.

At that price, the break-even price for a developer is estimated to be about $860 psf to $900 psf.

That means prices in excess of $1,100 psf can be expected at launch, Teakhwa said. About 96 apartments of about 600 sq ft each can be built, it added.

Units at nearby 99-year leasehold project Hong Leong's The Scala were recently sold for between $1,100 psf and $1,500 psf while another project in the area, Kovan Residences, has also sold above the $1,000 psf mark.

'The new condo project should appeal to both home buyers and investors alike - specifically to the upper middle class Singaporeans living in the Serangoon area and foreigners looking at well-located residential projects,' Teakhwa said.

Another development, Marine Point, a freehold 18-storey residential block at 95 Marine Parade Road, was launched for collective sale last Wednesday at an indicative price of about $110 million. Marine Point consists of 30 apartments and two penthouses on a 51,185 sq ft site. Its potential GFA is 107,489 sq ft.

This works out to about $1,116 psf ppr, including an estimated development charge of $10 million.

It can be redeveloped to accommodate about 90 to 100 apartments averaging 1,000 sq ft each, said marketing agent ERA Asia-Pacific associate director Eugene Lim.

In both cases, the requisite more than 80 per cent of owners by share value and strata floor area have signed the collective agreement.

Both tenders will close on Nov 18.

CDL moves in on Tanglin Shopping Centre


Marine Point being sold en bloc for about $1,000 psf ppr


(SINGAPORE) The tender for Tanglin Shopping Centre's collective sale closed yesterday and is understood to have drawn at least one submission - from City Developments Limited (CDL).
The reserve price for the en bloc sale is said to be $1.25 billion, working out to a whopping unit land price of about $4,000 per square foot of potential gross floor area, assuming the freehold site is redeveloped. Market watchers find it hard to believe that CDL would be prepared to pay such a price, suggesting some conditions could have been attached to its bid.
CDL's London-listed hotel unit Millennium & Copthorne Hotels, through its wholly-owned unit King's Tanglin Shopping Pte Ltd, owns 85 strata retail and office units as well as all 325 carpark lots in the development, reflecting more than 30 per cent interest in Tanglin Shopping Centre's total strata area, based on earlier reports. The carpark lots are in the basement as well as in a rear multi-storey building.
M&C revealed in June last year that it had signed the Collective Sale Agreement for the sale of its strata-titled interest in the complex.
When contacted yesterday evening, Jean Goh, senior marketing director of ERA Realty Network, the marketing agent for Tanglin Shopping Centre's collective sale, said: 'We cannot comment at this point in time as we are still in the midst of negotiation.'
Based on Tanglin Shopping Centre's existing strata area of about 380,000 sq ft (comprising shops, offices, medical suites and carparking space), the $1.25 billion reserve price works out to about $3,300 per square foot.
Tanglin Shopping Centre has a freehold land area of about 68,512 sq ft. It is zoned for commercial use with a 4.2+ plot ratio under Master Plan 2008. ERA has previously said the property has potential for a mixed development comprising residential and retail units or commercial office cum retail and/or a hotel annex.
Assuming the authorities allow a new commercial development on the site built up to the existing gross floor area (GFA) of 313,437 sq ft with no development charge (DC) payable, the $1.25 billion reserve price would work out to $3,988 per square foot per plot ratio (psf ppr).
However, a DC may be payable for a mixed development scheme that includes a residential component, sources suggest.
The building's existing GFA slightly exceeds the maximum 287,750 sq ft allowed for the site under Master Plan 2008.
Tanglin Shopping Centre currently consists of 363 units of retail, office and medical units, plus the 325 carpark lots in the basement and eight-level multistorey carpark.
Market watchers say that the interest by CDL, which is part of Singapore's Hong Leong Group, in the property is expected, given the group's stronghold in the area. Besides its stake in Tanglin Shopping Centre, the group also has stakes in St Regis Singapore next door, Orchard Hotel and Palais Renaissance.
Separately, BT has learned that a collective sale deal for Marine Point at Marine Parade Road could take place soon. The price of the 51,185 sq ft freehold site is said to be about $95 million, or slightly below $1,000 psf ppr inclusive of DC. Selangor Dredging has been tipped as the potential buyer. Marine Point has a 2.1 plot ratio, which means it can be built into a new project with up to 107,489 sq ft GFA.

10% discount from their asking price partly due to the long rectangular shape of the land limiting the development options. So the expected selling price should be >S$1500psf or even >$2000 psf for MM units. Let's see how's The CAPE doing next month.

Home prices, sales volume to drop: CEO CapitaLand

Private home prices and sales volume will likely drop, following the government’s latest set of measures to cool the real estate market, said Liew Mun Leong, CEO of CapitaLand.

However, Mr. Liew said he is “not too unhappy” with the property measures as they will make it easier for the company to win land parcels in government tenders.

Describing the measures as “incremental”, Mr. Liew said some property developers are driving up land prices by bidding aggressively.

“We are amazed at the prices that come out (in government land tenders),” he said. “Not that we are jealous but when we look at the numbers, we know that we can't do it. So in a way, we agree that there is some speculative chasing for land.”

CapitaLand will proceed with its plans to launch 1,700 mainly upmarket homes this year. The units will come from five developments – Urban Resort Condominium, The Nassim, d'Leedon, The Interlace and the residential component of a new project at Bedok Town Centre.

Mr. Liew said on Friday that prices will drop following the new measures, but he is still optimistic about the luxury and high-end market, which attracts cash-rich investors. This is contrary to the group’s statement last week, when it said private home prices will likely climb by five to 10 percent this year, following a 17.6 percent increase last year.

Going forward, Mr. Liew said the measures will separate serious property developers from speculators: “These types of measures will differentiate the real estate developers who helped with Singapore's urbanisation from the speculators, who build shoebox apartments,” he said.

However, he hopes that the government will be quick to fine-tune its policies in ......

CapitaLand buys Marine Point

By EMILYN YAP


CAPITALAND has signed a sale and purchase agreement to buy Marine Point en bloc and redevelop it into a 150-unit condominium.

It will pay $100.68 million for the freehold site, and an estimated development charge of $12.8 million. The total acquisition cost works out to $1,056 per square foot per plot ratio.

The deal is subject to the Strata Titles Board's approval and is expected to be completed in the third quarter of this year.

Marine Point, located along Marine Parade Road, sits on a 51,185 sq ft site and has a maximum gross floor area of 107,488 sq ft.

It was put up for collective sale in October last year with a $110 million price tag.

CapitaLand plans to redevelop the site into a condominium with one-bedroom plus study and two-bedroom apartments. The project should be ready for launch in the first half of next year.

'For the new development, we will be maximising its height to approximately 19 storeys. This will give the majority of the apartments a good view of the surrounding skyline and the sea,' said CapitaLand Residential Singapore CEO Wong Heang Fine.

'We are confident that we will see strong buyer support from young families as well as professionals who have grown up in the area.'

Marine Point is opposite Parkway Parade shopping mall and is within walking distance of East Coast Park. It is also near schools such as Tao Nan School and CHIJ (Katong) Primary School.

Next to the estate is Parc Seabreeze, where units changed hands at $1,256-$1,430 psf between October and November last year, based on caveats lodged.

The purchase of Marine Point will bring CapitaLand's pipeline of homes in Singapore to over 2,600 units.

CapitaLand lost four cents yesterday to end trading at $3.65.

2 collective sales done at lower prices

By Esther Teo


TWO collective sales have been completed, although both were at prices lower than earlier indicated, perhaps showing that recent cooling measures have tempered demand a little.

Marine Point in Marine Parade Road has been acquired by CapitaLand at $101million. The owners wanted $110 million when the tender was launched in October.

If an estimated development charge of $12.8million is included, the price works out to $1,056 per sq ft (psf) per plot ratio (ppr), CapitaLand said.

It plans to redevelop the 51,185 sq ft freehold site into a 150-unit condominium of one-bedroom plus study and two-bedroom apartments.

This will bring CapitaLand's pipeline of homes here to more than 2,600 units.

Mr Wong Heang Fine, chief executive of CapitaLand Residential Singapore, said the firm plans to maximise the project's height to about 19 storeys and is confident that it will get strong interest from young families and professionals who have grown up in the area.

'This will give the majority of the apartments a good view of the surrounding skyline and the sea. We plan to have (it) ready for launch in the first half of 2012,' he added.

Bartley Terrace, near Bartley MRT station, was sold for $40million, which The Straits Times understands to be below its reserve price.

The tender was launched last year with an asking price of $48million.

Meadows Investment, a firm owned by Mr Neo Tiam Boon, executive director of local property and construction firm Tiong Aik Group, bought the site in a private treaty, said marketing agent Urban Front yesterday.

The price works out to about $760 psf ppr, inclusive of about $3million in development charges and a 10per cent balcony allocation.

The District 19 freehold site has a land area of about 40,482 sq ft with a plot ratio of 1.4.

The owners of the 32 units stand to reap $1.14million to $1.8million each, Urban Front said.

Think it is not just a TK disease, it everywhere, just how many developer include in project. Make $ense to them....

Capitaland would have done a survey around that area and found that the 3-4 bedders at new launches around there are not moving that well.

most of these projects which focused on 3 to 4 bedders were first launched in 2007 when big was beautiful. how quickly taste changes in just a few years huh.

I think they still like large unit but pocket not large enough given the leap in property prices in the last few years.

MM not everywhere lah. Quite specific areas. TK is probably the big brother of MM. But when there's demand, there's supply. I think there're a lot of such shoebox demand around TK, Geylang, Katong, Joo Chiat etc. and now spreading to CBD and Stevens and Holland area.

actually 1bedders at TK not many....its only until recently den start to see whole boutique projects consists of mainly 1bedders....in 2007 launches, mainly 2/3bedders one....

CBD has the most 1bedders....The Sail/Icon started the 1bedder trend in SG :2cents:

balestier got quite alot MMs too

More MM to come if property prices continue to climb. It is about affordability. Bcos 500k property is still manageable by middle income group.

but those large units were also launched at current prices 2007 and prices have not moved up that much since then.

cud be due poor rental demand for big units.....when too many bot for investment....got problem liao.....currently, its still easier to find bigger units for rental den 1bedders....however, the story may turn around 2-3yrs later when MMs all starting to TOP

It is about demand and supply. Price will not move if there is no demand. Property prices move when there is active transaction. Whether we like or not, it is sometimes good to have flippers. When there is more action, there will be more reaction.

don't think your statement is valid. look at esta and one amber. launched during the peak of last property cycle at $600+psf, for 3/4 BR units and now the resale transactions are between $1100-1300psf

Esta and One Amber were not launched at the peak, it should be around 2006...well before the peak

yeah. Laguna had already replied you. esta and OA were more like nearer to the bottom than the peak. :) the peak refers to Amber Residences (remaining units were resold again closer to TOP recently), same thing for Aalto, i think Parc Seabreeze too. Seafront launch prices at 1300 to 1700 (sometime in apr 07?) was not yet exactly at the peak and prices have not made much headaway even now, almost a year after it TOP.
