Sep 15, 2021
WATTEN Estate Condominium (WEC) at Shelford Road has been put up for collective sale via tender with a minimum price of S$500 million, said marketing agent JLL.
Spanning 220,241 square feet, the freehold elevated site is zoned residential with a gross plot ratio of 1.4 and an allowable height of up to five storeys.
More than 80 per cent of the owners have consented to the collective sale.
At the minimum price, this amounts to about S$1,622 per square foot per plot ratio (psf ppr), or S$1,570 psf ppr after factoring in an additional 8 per cent bonus gross floor area and the corresponding development charge.
The property comprises 104 units of townhouses and apartments built around 1983. According to JLL, it can be redeveloped into 286 units based on the mandatory minimum average size of 100 sqm.
The condominium is about 650 metres away from Tan Kah Kee MRT. In its vicinity are Coronation Shopping Plaza, King's Arcade Shopping Centre, Crown Centre, Serene Centre, Cluny Court and Adam Road Food Centre.
Tan Hong Boon, executive director at JLL, said: "With strengthening sales from new developments in the Bukit Timah precinct achieving new levels, keen competition from developers to bid well above the owners' minimum price are expected."
The tender will close on Oct 27 at 3pm.
In 2019, the condominium was up for collective sale with a reserve price of S$536 million. That translated then to a land rate of S$1,738 per square foot per plot ratio (psf ppr).
