28 units at Southbank up for en bloc sale

Savills has launched 28 strata commercial units at Southbank, a mixed-use development located at 883 North Bridge Road, for collective sale by expression of interest (EOI) at S$56 million or S$1950 psf.

“The strata commercial market is performing well and can be expected to continue on the back of demand from end users and investors alike. Strata offices in CBD have exceeded S$3000 psf whilst those outside the core CBD locations or in the suburban areas look set to cross the S$2000 psf levels going by recent land prices achieved. This is an opportunity for someone to take position in this market segment, enjoy an income now and benefit from further upside through strata sales over the near to medium term,” noted Steven Ming, Deputy Managing Director and Head of Investment Sales at Savills, the sole marketing agent of the property.

Comprising of a 20-storey commercial block and a 40-storey residential block, the development is situated at the fringe of the CBD and is near Lavender MRT station and the upcoming Kallang iPark.

“Rejuvenation in this area is ongoing as developments at Kallang iPark located across Southbank complete. Even the site located next to Southbank could be slated for a new mixed used scheme going by the current master plan 2008 which has earmarked it as a white site. As and when these projects come to fruition, they could give capital values in this area a further boost,” Ming further noted.

The units on sale, of which 85 percent are located between floors seven and 20, comprise of three singplex, 24 duplex loft and a ground level retail unit. The office units measure between 463 sq ft and 1,593 sq ft, while the ground level retail unit stands at 129 sq ft.
Tender for the EOI will close on 28 May.

URA to launch tender for site at Prince Charles Crescent

The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) announced today that it has accepted an application from a developer to put up the residential site at Prince Charles Crescent for sale by public tender.

The land parcel was made available for sale through the Reserve List system on 15 May 2012. URA received an application from a developer for the site to be put up for public tender. The developer committed to bid at a price of not less than $390,000,000 in the tender for the land parcel. As the minimum price committed by the developer is acceptable to the Government, the site will be released for sale by public tender.

In accordance with the procedures of the Reserve List system, URA is making public the minimum price committed for the site. However, the identity of the applicant will not be released. URA will launch the public tender for the site in about two weeks. The launch date will be announced later. The tender period for the land parcel will be about five weeks.

With a site area of about 2.38 ha, the residential site will have a maximum permissible gross floor area (GFA) of 49,950 sqm.
