A GOVERNMENT land parcel has been triggered for sale, after a developer commited to bid at least $40.5 million for a commercial and residential site at the junction of Yio Chu Kang and Seletar road.

It has a site area of 2.1 ha. With a gross plot ratio of 1.4, it can generate a maximum permissible gross floor area of about 29,400 sq m.

The Urban Redevelopment Authority said it will launch the tender for sale in about two weeks. The date will be announced later.
