A FREEHOLD residential site spanning 17,974 square feet (sq ft) in District 9 is up for sale by public tender at the guide price of S$95 million.

On Thursday (Sep 28), exclusive marketing agent Savills Singapore said that this works out to S$2,839 per square foot per plot ratio (psf ppr).

This is after factoring in a 7 per cent bonus gross floor area (GFA) and a land betterment charge of about S$57.8 million.

Located at 11 Claymore Road, the plot is situated about 100 m away from Orchard Road and has an allowable gross plot ratio of 2.8 under the Urban Redevelopment Authority’s (URA) 2019 master plan. It also has a height control of up to 36 storeys.

Based on URA’s planning parameters, Savills said, the new development can have a total GFA of 53,849 sq ft, inclusive of the 7 per cent bonus GFA for balconies.

A pre-application feasibility study will not be required by the Land Transport Authority for up to 66 apartment units.

“Residential sites of this size and in this super prime location are very rarely for sale,” said Jeremy Lake, Savills’ managing director for investment sales and capital markets.

Beyond developers, Lake added, the site is ideal for an “ultra-high-net-worth” family to design and build their own development to stay in, rather than buy multiple apartments in a large development from a developer.

“We have been in touch with buyers like this before when marketing other sites, but those sites were too large,” said Lake.

The tender for 11 Claymore Road closes on Nov 8 at 3 pm.

While the site’s vendor was not named, Savills described it as a private company who has owned the property for more than 50 years.

In 2007, The Business Times reported that the same site was owned by a local investment company controlled by a family named Kok, who was then looking to sell the property at S$2,815 psf ppr.

Freehold bungalow at 11 Claymore Road on the market for $95 mil

September 28, 2023

A cluster of three bungalows sits at the top of Claymore Road, just off Orchard Road. They are 9, 11 and 15 Claymore Road — the last remaining bungalows in the prime residential enclave of Claymore, Ardmore Park and Draycott. Around them are high-rise, luxury condo towers such as the 85-unit Tate Residences, 34-unit Sculptura Ardmore and the 146-unit The Claymore.

One of the three bungalows, namely 11 Claymore Road, is on the market for sale, with Savills Singapore as the exclusive marketing agent. The bungalow, built in the 1940s, has a gross floor area of 4,796 sq ft and sits on a freehold site of 17,974 sq ft.

According to a property title search, the property is owned by a private company, Kok Kim Chuan. The company belongs to the Kok family, who used to be involved in trading and finance.

Initially the family home, the property has been tenanted to Pat’s Schoolhouse (recently rebranded The Schoolhouse by Busy Bees) for the past 24 years. Hence, the property will be sold with the existing tenancy.

Under the URA Master Plan, the site is zoned for residential use with a plot ratio of 2.8 and a maximum height of 36 storeys. If the site is redeveloped into a high-rise condo, a land betterment charge of $57.889 million would be payable on top of the asking price of $95 million. After factoring in the land betterment charge, the land rate will be $2,839 psf per plot ratio (ppr).
