Bright Chambers sold en bloc for S$45 million

Bright Chambers, a nine-storey commercial building at the junction of Middle Road and Victoria Street, has been sold en bloc for S$45 million to Arjuno Holdings, a special purpose vehicle run by Pamfleet Asset Management, marketing agent Jones Lang LaSalle said yesterday.

Bright Chambers, zoned for commercial use, sits on a land area of 5,263 sq ft and has an existing plot ratio of 7.943, exceeding the 4.2 plot ratio under the Master Plan 2008.

The building, with a remaining lease term of about 60.5 years, comprises strata-titled units for retail use on the ground and mezzanine level and offices from the third to ninth storeys.

The sale price translates to about S$1,076 per square foot over the existing gross floor area, or S$1,287 psf over total strata area, Jones Lang LaSalle said.

Mr Karamjit Singh, Head of Investments & Residential at Jones Lang LaSalle, which handled the collective sales of Midlink Plaza in Middle Road in 2011 and San Centre in Chin Swee Road last month, said the company anticipated more of such sales.

“These are all strata-titled leasehold commercial projects located in or around the Central Business District, for which buying interest has been strong for their redevelopment or repositioning value,” he said.

Versailles up for collective sale by tender

A 55-unit residential development at Guillemard Road has been put up for collective sale by tender.

Versailles has an indicative price tag of between S$105 million and S$110 million, which translates to some S$1,088 per square foot (psf) to S$1,133 psf.

The site has a land area of around 53,073 square feet (sq ft).

Exclusive agent for the deal Jones Lang LaSalle said the development has a potential gross floor area (GFA) of about 122,598 sq ft and could yield some 148 units of varying sizes.

The building is located near the Paya Lebar MRT station and the Dakota MRT station.

The global property consultant said the new project will attract owner-occupiers and investors due to the upcoming Paya Lebar Central, and the lack of supply of new residential projects in the vicinity.

It added that the site is near popular schools like Tanjong Katong Primary School and Chung Cheng High School.

National Director of Investments at Jones Lang LaSalle, Yong Choon Fah, said: “This is a rare freehold condominium redevelopment site that is located within walking distance to the up-and-coming Paya Lebar Central.

“According to the Urban Redevelopment Authority, 12 hectares of land around Sims Avenue have been set aside for this commercial hub at the city fringe. It will comprise a mix of offices, hotels, retail and public spaces, some with riverfront.”

The tender will close at 2.30pm on 30 May 2013.
