More redevelopment sites up for sale

Two residential sites located at Hillview Avenue and Amber Road have been put up for sale.

The first plot at 63 Hillview Avenue measures 230,915 sq ft and has a gross plot ratio of 1.92. Indicative pricing for the site is S$330 million, which works out to S$925 psf ppr inclusive of the S$80 million development charge.

Colliers International, the marketing agent, said that the site may be developed into a 10-storey residential development offering 370 apartments at an average size of 1,200 sq ft each.

Currently, the site houses the Lam Soon Industrial Building, a 10-storey light industrial development with 154 warehouses and light industrial factories.

“Given that there is a strong demand for light industrial units, the successful buyer can also consider additions and alteration works to retain the existing industrial building, subject to URA’s approval,” noted Tang Wei Leng, Executive Director Of Investment Services at Colliers.

The site tender will end on 28 June.

The second parcel at Amber Road includes three neighbouring landed properties with a total land area of nearly 28,409 sq ft. The site has a gross plot ratio of 2.8 and is zoned for residential development under the 2008 Master Plan.

Marketing agent Credo Real Estate noted that the sellers expect offers of between S$73 million and S$80 million, which reflects a land price of around S$1,243 psf ppr to S$1,318 psf ppr after factoring the estimated development charge of S$25 million.

Yong Choon Fah, Executive Director at Credo, said: “Interestingly, these three plots at Amber Road are the last standing landed properties on the road, which is a well-known address for high-rise condominiums, like Amber Point, Amber Park and King’s Mansion, that command views of the sea.”

The tender for the site will close on 22 June.

3 landed properties at Amber Rd up for sale by tender

Three adjoining landed properties at Amber Road in the East Coast district have been put up for sale by tender.

Marketing agent Credo Real Estate said the three plots of land are owned by separate owners, who have consented to sell collectively in a joint tender exercise.

The freehold sites have a combined land area of approximately 28,400 square feet (sq ft).

Credo said the sellers are expecting offers in the region of S$73 million to S$80 million.

This reflects a land rate of about S$1,243 to S$1,318 per square foot per plot ratio (psf ppr) for redevelopment up to a gross plot ratio of 2.8 and after factoring an estimated development charge in the region of S$25 million.

Credo’s executive director, Yong Choon Fah, said the “entire plot may be redeveloped into a high-rise residential development of over 20 storeys with partial sea views”.

She added that the potential gross floor area of about 79,500 sq ft may accommodate some 75 apartments with an average size of 1,000 sq ft.

According to Ms Yong, these three plots at Amber Road are the last standing landed properties in the area, which is a well-known address for high-rise condominiums that have command views of the sea.

Ms Yong added: “District 15 has always been a traditional favourite amongst both foreign and local homebuyers due to its proximity to the airport, East Coast Park, reputable schools and established amenities at Parkway Parade and East Coast Road.”

The tender closes at 2.30pm on June 22.
