    Default Loft@Holland

    Loft@Holland units snapped up


    Updated 11:12 AM Jan 14, 2011
    var fontIndex = 2; var fontSize = new Array('0.63em', '0.69em', '0.75em', '0.88em', '1em', '1.13em');
    SINGAPORE - Only hours before the Government announced its latest round of cooling measures for the property market, buyers had snapped up all the units available at the Loft@Holland, Oxley Holdings' latest "shoebox'' residential project.

    The property developer said all its 41 units were sold within two hours at its soft launch yesterday. Demand was so strong that all, but two units, in the development needed balloting to be conducted.

    "On average, there were about three interested buyers per unit," Oxley said.

    The units were sold at between $1,630 to $2,166 per sq ft, and most of the buyers were mainly locals, the company said.

    Oxley chairman and chief executive officer Ching Chiat Kwong said: "The market's overwhelming response to our latest projects is extremely encouraging."

    The five-storey development which is located at 151, Holland Road, comprises 37 one-bedroom units, ranging from 323 sq ft to 484 sq ft, and four two-bedroom penthouses with private jacuzzis, ranging from 980 sq ft to 1,141 sq ft.

    It also has common facilities that include a basement carpark, a swimming pool and a gymnasium.

    Analysts believe that the main attraction of the property is its prime location, which puts it in close proximity to the proposed Holland Village MRT Station and nearby Holland Village Shopping Centre.

    It is also close to renowned schools like Henry Park Primary School, Nanyang Primary School, and Hwa Chong Institution.

    What is the rental we are looking at for a typical MM unit of 323sqft at Loft@Holland? Apparently such unit cost around 700k? What % rental yield are we looking at here considering that there are limited upside to flip witht the new stamp duties measures introduced. The project is slated to TOP in 2015, so no rental from now till then.

    Despite a good address and its close proximity to the new MRT station, I doubt this is for own stay. It is so tiny. Maybe we can call it a high-class motel-apartment.

    So totally no upside for capital appreciation for this sold-out 40 unit project in a superb high class location? How much can rental for a 323sqft unit fetch?

    No lah. Desperate parents may buy a unit there to rent out and at the same time register the place as home address when apply for P1.

    i think its impossible. 2 adults + a primary 1 kid stay in 323 sq ft studio?

    anyway, its only within 2km of both henry park and nanyang, not 1km. given the hotness of balloting, chances are low anyway.

    actually i always thot it'd be ideal to have something in between. but that is too idealistic. developers are so extreme, either big until cannot afford or small until MM. sigh.
