Changi Garden put up for collective sale

Timothy Tay / EdgeProp | September 7, 2017


Changi Garden will be put up for sale by public tender on September 8, according to Edmund Tie & Company (ET&Co.), the appointed property consultant for the sale.

Developed in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Changi Garden comprises 60 apartments, 12 penthouses, and 12 shops. According to ET&Co, the asking price is S$196 million, which translates to about $700 psf ppr. The gross sale proceeds for an apartment range from $1.69 million to $1.79 million; a penthouse from $3.18 million to $3.74 million; and a shop from $3.7 million to $5.5 million.

The freehold property sits on approximately 200,093 sq ft of elevated land and is surrounded by landed houses. According to the URA Master Plan 2014, the site is zoned ‘Residential’ with a plot ratio of 1.4. According to ET&Co, due to the high development baseline, no development charge is payable.

“The property can be redeveloped into a low-rise condominium in a relatively quiet residential neighbourhood”, says Nicholas Mak, executive director at ZACD Group, “The developer can develop the site into a condominium with about 280 to 300 dwelling units.”

Located at the junction of Upper Changi Road North and Jalan Mariam, the property is easily accessible via the ECP, PIE, and TPE expressways.

According to ET&Co, the ongoing agglomeration efforts of business establishments in areas such as Changi Business Park, Changi North and South Industrial Estates, Loyang Industrial Estate, and Singapore Expo, is evidence that the area is slated for transformation into a major employment centre. The upcoming Jewel Changi Airport and Terminal 4 will further enhance the location’s attractiveness.

“Since 2013, there has not been any residential land sold within a 2.8km radius of Changi Garden. We believe a developer can take advantage of this huge freehold site to create a residential development with full communal and lifestyle facilities to tap on the potential pent up demand.” says Tan Chun Ming, director of investment advisory, ET & Co.

The tender exercise will close on October 16.

Changi Garden to be put up for collective sale by tender with S$196m asking price

September 7, 2017

REAL estate consulting firm Edmund Tie & Company (SEA) is putting Changi Garden up for collective sale by public tender on Friday, the appointed property consultant said on Thursday.

Based on the asking price of S$196 million (S$700 psf ppr), the gross sale proceeds for an apartment range from S$1.69 million to S$1.79 million, a penthouse from S$3.18 million to S$3.74 million, and a shop from S$3.7 million to S$5.5 million.

Changi Garden was developed circa the late 1970s and early 1980s, and comprises 60 apartments, 12 penthouses and 12 shops. Located at the junction of Upper Changi Road North and Jalan Mariam, the freehold property sits on approximately 200,093 sq ft of elevated grounds and is surrounded by landed houses.

According to Urban Redevelopment Authority's Master Plan 2014, it is zoned "residential" with a plot ratio of 1.4. Due to high development baseline, no development charge is payable, said Edmund Tie.

It noted that the Changi area is slated for transformation into a major employment centre. This is evident with an ongoing agglomeration of business establishments in this popular industrial and commercial cluster, including Changi Business Park, Changi North and South Industrial Estates, Loyang Industrial Estate, Singapore Expo and others.

This trend is anticipated to continue given the area's proximity to Singapore Changi Airport and Singapore University of Technology and Design. The upcoming Jewel Changi Airport and Terminal 4 will serve to further enhance the attractiveness of the location, it said.

Tan Chun Ming, director of investment advisory, said: "Since 2013, there has not been any residential land sold within a 2.8km radius of Changi Garden. We believe a developer can take advantage of this huge freehold site to create a residential development with full communal and lifestyle facilities to tap on the potential pent up demand."

The tender exercise for the site will close on Oct 16, 2017 at 3pm.

Freehold Changi Garden condo up for collective sale

SEP 8, 2017

Rachael Boon


Yet another residential project is up for collective sale - this time in a quiet pocket of the east where land sites rarely go on the market.

The Changi Garden condominium site joins the ever hotter en bloc scene here as developers look to bolster their land holdings.

The owners of the freehold development - with 60 apartments, 12 penthouses and 12 shops - are asking for $196 million, or $700 per sq ft per plot ratio, said consultant Edmund Tie & Company yesterday.

It is putting up the development for sale by public tender today.

The firm noted that if the owners get their asking price, gross sale proceeds for an apartment would range from $1.69 million to $1.79 million; a penthouse from $3.18 million to $3.74 million; and a shop from $3.7 million to $5.5 million.

Changi Garden is at the junction of Upper Changi Road North and Jalan Mariam, and sits on about 200,093 sq ft of elevated grounds, surrounded by landed houses.

It is also near Changi Prison but Mr Tan Chun Ming, Edmund Tie & Company director of investment advisory, said the site remains an attractive option as land earmarked for residential homes has not been sold within a 2.8 km radius of Changi Garden since 2013.

"We believe a developer can take advantage of this huge freehold site to create a residential development with full communal and lifestyle facilities to tap on the potential pent- up demand," he said, adding that freehold sites of this size were rare.

Mr Tan said the process for the collective sale started in March last year, and owners have told him "this is the fifth or sixth time" over the year that it is being put up for sale. Previous attempts were not successful. Changi Garden was developed in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

"I've spoken to a number of developers and they like the size as it can let them be creative with their plans, and that can help in their product," he added.

The site is zoned for residential use at a plot ratio of 1.4 and, owing to a high development baseline, there is no development charge.

Edmund Tie & Company added that the Changi area is "slated for transformation into a major employment centre", noting how it has become a popular industrial and commercial cluster, including housing Changi Business Park.

"The upcoming Jewel Changi Airport and Terminal 4 will serve to further enhance the attractiveness of the location," it added.

Maybank Kim Eng analyst Derrick Heng said in a recent report that more than $3 billion in collective sales deals have been concluded so far this year, with another 30 properties at various stages of the en bloc process.

He noted that six of these potential deals, if completed, could lift sales value by another $2.3 billion and add 4,600 units to the pipeline here.

The tender for the Changi Garden site closes on Oct 16 at 3 pm.

Changi Garden latest to hop on en bloc train

SEP 08, 2017

LEE MEIXIAN


ANOTHER en bloc aspirant has joined the hopefuls. The residents of Changi Garden have agreed to put up their nearly 40-year-old property for collective sale by public tender on Thursday. Their asking price is S$196 million, which translates to about S$700 per square foot per plot ratio.

Going by this amount, an apartment owner will receive S$1.69 million to S$1.79 million. Penthouse owners will receive S$3.18 million to S$3.74 million, and shop owners S$3.7 million to S$5.5 million.

This is the 15th residential en bloc attempt this year; 50 to 60 deals are said to be under way at various stages, which Jennifer Chia, head of corporate real estate at TSMP Law, thinks is a momentum that can be sustained only for developments with attractive pricing, redevelopment potential and locations.

"Since the last en bloc fever (from 2005 to 2007), we have seen the additional buyer's stamp duty and additional conveyance duties imposed," she said.

"Some of the developers that took part in the last cycle actually took their money overseas, so it may not be so easy for them to bring that money back to Singapore quickly."

Changi Garden was developed around the late 1970s and early 1980s, and comprises 60 apartments, 12 penthouses and 12 shops. Located at the junction of Upper Changi Road North and Jalan Mariam, the freehold property sits on 200,093 sq ft of elevated ground and is surrounded by houses.

According to the Urban Redevelopment Authority's Master Plan 2014, it is zoned "residential" with a plot ratio of 1.4. Due to the high development baseline, no development charge (DC) is payable, said Edmund Tie & Company (ET&Co), the property consultant for the collective sale.

DC is a tax payable to the state as a result of the state approving a development proposal that will increase the land value of a site, for instance, when it increases the intensity or plot ratio.

ET&Co noted that the Changi area is slated for transformation into a major employment centre, with an ongoing agglomeration of business establishments in the industrial and commercial cluster, including Changi Business Park, Changi North and South Industrial Estates, Loyang Industrial Estate, Singapore Expo and others.

"This trend is anticipated to continue given the area's proximity to Changi Airport and the Singapore University of Technology and Design. The upcoming Jewel Changi Airport and Terminal 4 will serve to further enhance the attractiveness of the location," it said. Tan Chun Ming, ET&Co's director of investment advisory, said: "Since 2013, there has not been any residential land sold within a 2.8-km radius of Changi Garden. We believe a developer can take advantage of this huge freehold site to create a residential development with full communal and lifestyle facilities."

Nicholas Mak, ZACD Group executive director, said the property can be redeveloped into a low-rise condominium with about 280 to 300 units in the relatively quiet neighbourhood.

"Following the recent increase in residential DC rates, the en bloc sale projects with very high DC baselines, resulting in little or no DC payable for redevelopment, would enjoy an advantage over other competing en bloc sale projects."

The tender exercise for the site will close on Oct 16 at 3pm.

Commenting on the en bloc market at large, Ms Chia from TSMP said: "With so many deals in the pipeline to choose from, developers can afford to be a bit more picky as to what they think would be a good redevelopment opportunity.

"It looks more like a buyer's market now than a seller's market. Developers are looking at the deals, but they are also cautious and crunching their numbers."

To be sure, not every owner is anxious to sell. Thomas Tan, a resident at Sutton Place in Farrer Road, said: "We are in no hurry to monetise our property or chase any windfall. We just think it will be too long to wait until the next cycle."

The sales committee at Sutton Place is currently preparing to hold an extraordinary general meeting to obtain approval for its collective sales agreement and apportionment method.

This is its second attempt, after a previous attempt five years ago failed to garner the requisite 80-per-cent consensus among residents.

Changi Garden sold for S$248.8 million; 27% above asking price

SINGAPORE — En-bloc fever continues to rage in the property market, with freehold development Changi Garden attracting a winning tender bid of S$248.8 million, which surprised analysts.

CEL Real Estate Development’s offer to buy over the estate is close to 30 per cent higher than the asking price, and analysts said that it was unexpected given that the mixed development, with residential and retail units, is not in a central location.

The estate, located at the junction of Upper Changi Road North and Jalan Mariam, comprises 60 apartments, 12 penthouses and 12 shops.

The property developer beat eight other bidders to win the tender. The purchase price works out to S$888 per square foot (psf) per plot ratio for the 200,093sqf site

Each apartment owner will net between S$2.14 million and S$2.27 million, while a penthouse owner will receive between S$4.03 million and S$4.74 million. Shop owners are expected to receive S$4.7 million to S$7.08 million.

Built between the 1970s and 1980s, Changi Garden was put up for collective sale last month with an asking price of S$196 million.

CEL Real Estate Development is a wholly owned subsidiary of mainboard-listed Chip Eng Seng Corporation. In a filing to the Singapore Exchange on Tuesday (Oct 1), Chip Eng Seng said that it intends to develop a low-rise residential condominium on the site, comprising around 320 units, with full facilities and possibly some retail shops.

Commenting on the sale, Mr Alan Cheong, senior director of research and consultancy at Savills Valuation and Professional Services, said that the property market is now in a “very unusual cycle”.

“In the past, developers focused on prime districts for collective sales, but today it is all over the island,” he said, noting that Changi Garden is located opposite Changi Prison.

“Also, the asking price is already considered high, but the developer is willing to bid even higher. This will translate to higher prices when the new development is launched,” Mr Cheong said.

Mr Eugene Lim, key executive officer of ERA Realty Network, said that prices of units at the future development would be dependent on market conditions.

On the sale price, he said: “The price reflects the confidence the developer has in the property market in the short term, that prices will increase.”

Mr Nicholas Mak, head of the research and consultancy department at integrated asset manager ZACD, said that the estimated break-even price for CEL, based on the current market condition, would be about S$1,350 psf to S$1,400 psf.

This year so far, there have been more than 10 collective sales, including Tampines Court, which went for a record high of S$970 million, the biggest sale for a former Housing and Urban Development Company estate since 2007.

Earlier this month, Normanton Park was sold for S$830.1 million, and the sale of Amber Park condominium at S$906.7 million set a record for Singapore’s largest freehold collective sale by dollar value.

given the current sentiment, seems like its ok to price low as there are more than enough developers to trip over themselves and send it to the "correct" market price.

however, over the next 12 months, more people will become greedy and ask for higher prices (which I view as not wise), this means that more en blocs may not go through.

The interesting psychology here is unlike usual private treaty sale both buyer and seller dont know each other expectation.

Here the seller already show hand...and still buyer paid 27% higher....Must be really scared of other competiting bid ?
Or is it a case of asking too low ?

but there is no issue with seller asking low since like u said, unlike private treaty, the seller cannot afford for the price to come in below 700psf as it will become another tedious process. that's why i felt that its ok for seller to set the reserve price low (at a price which they are still willing to sell at of course) and let the buyers decide what is the final price.

the buyer on the other hand obviously wants to wipe out the chance of any other competing bid winning the plot.

Chip Eng Seng acquires Changi Garden at $248.8 mil

By Angela Teo / EdgeProp | October 17, 2017


Chip Eng Seng announced on Oct 17 that it has successfully tendered for the en bloc purchase of Changi Garden, at $248.8 million, or $888 psf per plot ratio (ppr). This works out to about 27% above the asking price of $196 million.

According to marketing agent Edmund Tie & Company (ET&Co), no development charges are payable for the site because of its high development baseline.

At the selling price, an apartment owner is set to receive between $2.14 million and $2.27 million, while a penthouse owner will receive between $4.03 million and $4.74 million, says ET&Co. Shop owners are expected to receive between $4.7 million and $7.08 million, ET&Co adds.

Chip Eng Seng intends to redevelop Changi Garden into a low-rise condominium of about 320 residential units with a possible retail component.

According to Tay Siong Siew, chairman of Changi Garden’s en bloc sales committee, the collective sales process began in March last year.

The existing property comprises 84 residential and retail units that sit on a site area of approximately 200,095 sq ft. Under the 2014 Master Plan, the site has a plot ratio of 1.4, which translates into a maximum allowable gross floor area of 280,133 sq ft.
