I am curious to know why you are confident that it wont go en bloc, not that I have a unit there.:confused:

simply because its current planned land use is for 3 storey mixed landed. Not a condo. So the amount the developer can possibly get from selling the whole plot as landed will be for sure less than selling it as a condo. thus the ultimate prices to the current owners will be less. So tough to enbloc. Unless the land use changes.

What about St Patrick's Garden then, dont forget UOL has it en bloc..

st patricks garden is a condo and redeveloped as a condo. see URA 2008 master plan for landed. you cannot compare finland to st patricks. their land use is different for redevelopment.

besides, after finland's last failed enbloc attempt, the current owners will for sure want to ask for more $$ money now. so i would say very tough for developers and owners to meet their price targets.

finland garden land size is approx 9600sq meter. given that eastrees which is round the corner is selling around 3.3M for each unit the total land size of the 8units approx 2800sq meter. so approx 28-30units of cluster terraces can be built at finland. which gives 100M maximum as total sale value to the developer.

there are currently 48 units at at finland. the smallest is approx 1324sqft and biggest at 1894sqft. lets use 1500sqft as the average size. given the current prices of approx 1-1.1kpsf the total value that the owners can get is approx 72-86M.

So how can the developer buy.

Unless my above assumptions are wrong, i seriously doubt Finland enbloc can take off.

mkl22, if I may prove you wrong..

I reckon that FG stands a good chance of going en bloc.

This en bloc was successful (then canned) before the property prices went

ballistic.

Now with no more sizeable yet biteable land plots around that area with St

Patrick's Gardens being the most recent to en bloc, coupled with a very

good chance of having a mrt station at its doorsteps, I wouldnt rule out FG

attracting developers' interests.

Also with Mr Singh now with a global agency, who is to say he is not keen to

to have a 2nd bite of the cherry.

What FG can be developed into......

i still say tough. ok if 44units can be built. and each unit approx 800k to build(lower end already) gives you 35M plus around 110-120M to make the owners sell, which is an approximate premium of 30% of the current prices. you need to sell the houses at 3.5M to break even.

if construction costs per house is 500k and somehow the developers manage to buy the whole plot at 86M. pure breakeven is 2.5M. still need to add fees and what nots.

if it was at the old price of 49M of course can.

Are owners of FG that dumb?

of course not la. just saying that the prices have already gone up so much. and the main issue is due to the restriction of 3 storey mixed landed use. this also effectively prevents foreign ownership. thus this sort of strata semi-D/ terraces are harder to move. and if i was going to pay close to 4M, i rather get a proper terrace or semi instead of strata.

but maybe you are right. but i just cannot see it happening based on what i had assumed.

Assumptions are just assumptions. I too dont see the en bloc coming onstream so soon, but my guess is within 3 years a developer will bite, attracted by its size, freehold status and potential proximity to a mrt station.

The developer can also choose to build projects like the St Patrick's Residence, no restriction to foreigners as far as I know.

Isn't st Patrick's a condo? I don't think it can be built on the FG Plot.

Are you saying the FG's site cant be redeveloped into something like The

Axis@Siglap, St Patricks Residence or it must be a 3-storey mixed landed

project?

according the the land use planning it must be 3 storey mixed landed. the mixed here means it can be terrace, semi-D or bungalow. But for sure it cannot be a condo like what FG is right now or axis. it must be like eastrees. That is what i interpret it to be and it seems so. otherwise Eastrees would have been a MM to maximize profits liao.

Thats why i say the land use limits the ultimate value that the owners can get. if can built a condo, enbloc chances are much much higher.
If a condo can be built, assuming a plot ratio of 1.4 and with 10% balcony. the GFA can be approx 150ksqft. with a selling price of 1400psf, about 200M can be made. so probably can offer approx 100-120M to the owners.

To make the same amount for a landed development means each house will be 4.8M. who will buy at 4.8M?

If your assertion is true, then Axis@Siglap cant be built as such, right??

Axis' legal completion was in 2010 only, so it a recent kinda of thing.

Bro before things get nasty ...it's true.

FG is gazetted for landed/cluster housing. (Got me too back then)
You can google for it (I think) coz they tried to EB - stated there too.
There are other examples of these and some have EBed - Whitley Heights comes to mind.
