    Default Hong Leong Garden Shopping Centre launched for sale by tender

    SINGAPORE: Hong Leong Garden Shopping Centre at West Coast Way has been launched for sale by tender with an indicative price of between
    S$160 million and S$170 million.

    This works out to be a land rate of approximately $752 to $794 per square foot per plot ratio for redevelopment up to a gross plot ratio of 1.6, after
    factoring in the estimated land premium for the potential of acquiring the adjoining state land parcel and a development charge.

    Marketed by Credo Real Estate, Hong Leong Garden currently comprises 72 apartments and 66 shop units. The site has an area of more than 150,000
    square feet with a lease term of 956 years.

    Credo said that the Singapore Land Authority (SLA) has also granted an approval to enlarge the site area by combining the adjoining state land
    parcel of nearly 13,500 square feet.

    Under its 2008 Master Plan, the site is zoned "Residential with commercial at 1st Storey" with a gross plot ratio of 1.6 and an allowable height of up to 12 storeys.

    Deputy Managing Director at Credo Real Estate, Tan Hong Boon, said the site may be transformed into a condominium development with a
    self-contained hub that offers dining options and amenities to residents in the development and neighbouring housing estates.

    Default West Coast development put up for collective sale

    West Coast development put up for collective sale


    HONG Leong Garden Shopping Centre, a 138-unit development at West Coast Way, has been put up for collective sale.

    Marketing agent Credo Real Estate said the development, located next to the Hundred Trees condominium, currently comprises 72 apartments and 66 shop units built in the 1980s by the Hong Leong Group.

    The 956-year leasehold site has an area of 150,816 square feet.

    Under the 2008 Master Plan, the site is zoned 'Residential with Commercial at 1st Storey' with a gross plot ratio of 1.6, and an allowable height of up to 12 storeys.

    More than 80 per cent of the owners (by share value and strata floor area) have agreed to sell the property.

    Credo said in its press statement yesterday that the Singapore Land Authority (SLA) has also granted in-principle approval for the amalgamation of the adjoining state land parcel of about 13,482 sq ft.

    This means that the sale site can potentially be enlarged to 164,298 sq ft with total gross floor area at about 262,877 sq ft.

    The sellers are expecting offers of between $160 million and $170 million, or about $752 to $794 per square foot per plot ratio, after factoring in the estimated land premium for the state land parcel and a development charge.

    Tan Hong Boon, Credo's deputy managing director, said: 'The appeal of the subject site lies in the flexibility of the commercial and residential mix in the new development.

    'Depending on the creativity of the developer and subject to approval from the authorities, the site may be transformed into a condominium development with a trendy self-contained hub that offers an array of amenities and dining options to the residents in the development as well as to the resident catchment in the neighbouring housing estates.'

    Mr Tan also said that given its potential for a unique mixed-use product and the scale of the investment, the Hong Leong Garden Shopping Centre site should attract keen interest from medium- to large-scale developers.

    The tender closes at 2.30pm on Sept 19.

    Hong Leong Garden site put up for collective sale

    Published on Aug 23, 2011

    By Esther Teo, Property Reporter


    DEVELOPMENTS that incorporate shops into a residential project are getting more popular with another site up for collective sale.

    Bids are expected to top $170 million for the Hong Leong Garden Shopping Centre in West Coast Way, according to marketing agent Credo Real Estate.

    The 150,816 sq ft site consists of 72 apartments and 66 shop units and has a gross plot ratio of 1.6.

    It is zoned as residential with commercial on the first floor, with an allowable height of up to 12 storeys.

    The asking price works out to about $752 to $794 per sq ft per plot ratio, inclusive of the possible acquisition of an adjoining 13,482 sq ft of state land and a development charge.

    Credo expects keen interest from medium to large-scale developers for the 956-year leasehold site built in the 1980s by the Hong Leong Group.

    Mr Tan Hong Boon, Credo's deputy managing director, said the site's appeal is in the flexible way the commercial and residential elements can be mixed in the new development.

    'Depending on the creativity of the developer... the site may be transformed into a condo development with a trendy self-contained hub that offers amenities and dining options to residents (and people) in the neighbouring housing estates,' he added.

    The commercial element is likely to be well-received as residents in the West Coast enclave would be able to enjoy the convenience of shopping at their doorsteps instead of travelling to Clementi or Jurong East Central, Mr Tan noted.

    'The developer of this site could choose to configure the commercial component into multiple strata titles and sell, or they could retain the entire stake for investment while controlling the tenant mix,' he added.

    Recent sales of mixed-use sites such as the Lion City Hotel, Bedok Central, Punggol Central and Hillview Avenue have attracted healthy interest from developers.

    Mr Tan also noted that the West Coast has long been seen as a residential location, popular among families and the expatriate community due to its proximity to schools such as the National University of Singapore and Singapore Polytechnic.

    In recent years, the completion of the Biopolis and Fusionopolis at one-north and the Government's plan to transform nearby Jurong Lake District into the largest commercial hub outside the city centre have also hyped up the area, he added.

    I predict it would be sold to city development, which has sold many projects in this area.

    These big property developers are all buddy buddy lah. they will not submit unfriendly or hostile bidding to erode each other's margin.

    Capitaland strong hold is JLD, while Hong Leong Garden will have to be CDL. The only people who will spoil their party are the smaller developers.

    yes, my home is gonna be surrounded by MM units.

    given the price Oxley paid and construction costs, the new project will be launched at $1,300-1400psf on average.

    My take on this pricing is that it is now the norm for new launches to price at S$1000psf and above. Those that are priced below are more likely to be snapped up regardless of it's location.

    It appears that we have reached a new plateau.
    Yee ha! Did I tickle your funny bone?

    Default Oxley Hldgs in S$171m property acquisition BT 22 Sep

    (SINGAPORE) In the biggest collective sale so far this year, a consortium led by Oxley Holdings has clinched the Hong Leong Garden Shopping Centre, a mixed development at West Coast Way, for $171.128 million.
    This works out to a unit land price of about $804-819 per square foot of potential gross floor area - depending on the mix of commercial and residential quantum proposed by the developer at the allowable 1.6 gross plot ratio (ratio of maximum potential gross floor area to land area).
    The unit land rates take into account the estimated land premium for the potential acquisition of adjoining state land of 13,482 square feet and a development charge at prevailing rates, said Credo Real Estate, which brokered the sale.
    Hong Leong Garden Shopping Centre, comprising 72 apartments and 66 shop units, was built in the 1980s by the Hong Leong Group. It was put up for collective sale last month through a tender exercise which closed on Sept 19.
    'The tender exercise was keenly contested, drawing four submissions. Even with the availability of Government Land Sale sites, en bloc sites like Hong Leong Garden Shopping Centre are attractive as developers have the flexibility to do a mix of commercial and residential units in the new development,' said Credo deputy managing director Tan Hong Boon.
    Next to the site is Hundred Trees, a condo project being developed by City Developments Ltd (CDL) on the former Hong Leong Garden condo site. CDL, in partnership with parent Hong Leong Group, is believed to have participated in the recent tender for Hong Leong Garden Shopping Centre.
    The consortium which emerged as the successful buyer is 65 per cent controlled by Oxley Holdings; the remaining 35 per cent is held by Unique Consortium, comprising Heeton Holdings, KSH Holdings, TEE International Limited and Zap Piling.
    The sale is subject to approval of the Strata Titles Board.
    This is the biggest collective sale so far this year in value and the largest collective sale in terms of land size in four years. So far this year, 37 collective sales totalling close to $2.24 billion have been inked, surpassing the 36 deals totalling about $1.77 billion for the whole of last year, according to Credo.
    Hong Leong Garden Shopping Centre stands on a 956-year-leasehold site with a land area of 150,816 sq ft. Owners stand to receive gross sales proceeds of $1.17-1.64 million per apartment and between $792,000 and $1.51 million per shop unit.
    Under Master Plan 2008, the site is zoned for 'Residential with Commercial at 1st Storey', with a gross plot ratio of 1.6 and a 12-storey maximum height.
    Oxley can redevelop the site into a project with a maximum gross floor area of 262,877 sq ft, assuming it is successful in buying the adjoining state land.
    'The site may be transformed into a condominium development with a trendy self-contained hub that offers an array of amenities and dining options to the residents in the West Coast locale,' according to Credo's Mr Tan.
    This is believed to be Oxley's biggest property acquisition to date.
    The group, an exponent of shoebox units, has experience developing mixed developments with ground-floor shops and apartments above.

    We could see Oxley launching this b4 year-end, they seem very fast to get their act together....

    Launch price could be ~$1300psf, given small units at Carabelle and Hundred Trees in vicinity are:

    recent transaction from URA:

    Oxley has experience in mixed residential-commercial development and was already in D5 last year (e.g. viva vista @ pasir panjang).
    I would think launch probably closer to $1400-1600psf for the 1BRs
    and $1300-1500psf for the larger ones.

    Next enbloc closing is "Park West" just diagonally opposite HT and HG.
