La Meyer at 66 Meyer Road offered for en-bloc sale

La Meyer at 66 Meyer Road has been for offered for en-bloc sale by tender, property consultants Cushman & Wakefield, handling the sale, said in a statement.

The freehold site in the exclusive Meyer Road vicinity has a land area of 50,560 square feet and is expected to fetch a price above S$98 million.

The statement said developers can build up to a gross floor area of about 78,000 square feet, based on a maximum allowable plot ratio of 1.4.

Cushman and Wakefield said it expects a good reception for the site, especially from mid-sized developers, due to its relative bite-sized and prized location.

The tender exercise will close May 27.

Ms Christina Sim, Director of Investment Sales at Cushman and Wakefield, said; “Sites costing less than S$100 million, provides a comfortable entry level for developers, and there are already a few foreign developers currently evaluating the property.”

She said Meyer Road is the “Nassim Road of the East Coast”, as it typically seen as a pricing benchmark for the whole of District 15.

“The transacted prices of projects like The Cape, Aalto and The View@Meyer have already crossed the S$2,000 per square feet mark. With developers eager to replenish landbank, we are expecting a blast of enquiries,” she said.

Pine Grove tender closed

The tender for Pine Grove – possibly the most expensive property to go enbloc – closed on Tuesday.

Its marketing agent Jones Lang LaSalle declined to comment if any bids were received for the tender, or when the results of the tender will be released.

Pine Grove is an 893,000 square feet property at Ulu Pandan. It went up for sale in early March.

The new development can yield a gross floor area of 1.88 million square feet. It can yield 1,500 units of 1,200 square feet each in 24-storey towers.

Including the development charge of S$460 million, the total cost of the property translates to S$2.2 billion or S$1,152 per square foot per plot ratio.

Each owner of Pine Grove’s current 28 units should pocket a tidy S$3.28 million from the sale.

If sold at the asking price, Pine Grove will beat Farrer Court, which was sold at S$1.3 billion in 2007.

Farrer Court has since been redeveloped into d’Leedon by CapitaLand.
