Builder Lian Beng Group has bagged a $112.7 million contract for the construction of The Gale, a freehold condominium development located on Flora Road.

The design-and-build contract was awarded by Tripartite Developers and covers the construction of 329 apartment units within nine eight-storey blocks, together with a basement carpark, clubhouse, swimming pool and other communal facilities. Work on the development is expected to commence in November 2009 and be completed by November 2012.

Ong Pang Aik, Managing Director of Lian Beng, said, “We are excited to be able to work with Tripartite Developers on the construction of The Gale, the design of which received the Green Mark Gold Award from the Building and Construction Authority. As an environmentally conscious builder, we also look forward to supporting Tripartite towards fulfilling the stipulated criteria for the award.”

Hong Leong won the 99-year leasehold site this month in a tender by the Urban Redevelopment Authority. It put in the top bid of $221 million or $529 per sq ft of gross floor area.

The project is expected to be launched the first half of next year.
