Ho Bee, MCL launching Parvis condo at $1,480 psf average

As other developers mull over whether to release new projects this quarter or hold back until 2010, Ho Bee and MCL Land have moved to launch their Parvis condo at Holland Hill this week.

Parvis: 85 of the 248 units in the freehold project are being released, with absolute prices ranging from $1.62m for a 990 sq ft unit to $3.02m for a 1,991 sq ft unit

The average price is about $1,480 per sq ft for the initial batch of 85 units. The 12-storey freehold project has 248 units.

The pricing is considered fair for the location, said a property consultant who is not marketing Parvis, adding that it could easily be $1,500-1,600 psf on average.

The Lush on Holland Hill nearby is selling for about $1,500 psf on average. In the secondary market, units at Waterfall Gardens in Farrer Road are changing hands for about $1,450-1,500 psf.

The 85 units MCL Land and Ho Bee are releasing at Parvis will be priced between $1,400 psf and $1,600 psf. In absolute terms, prices range from $1.62 million for a two-bedroom unit of 990 sq ft to $3.02 million for a four-bedder of 1,991 sq ft. Continue reading

Property developer Annupuri Land said that about 20 residential units have been taken up so far – with the majority of buyers from Hong Kong – and it hopes that the rebounding economy will spur sales.

‘The timing is right. The Asian economies are taking off again,’ said Annupuri Land co-founder Harry Pang. Continue reading
