Developers starting to get 'cautiously optimistic' over bids

But first major residential tender drew 12 bids.

According to UOB Kay Hian, the first major residential tender close for a site in Jurong West (29th Jan) continued to draw keen interest from developers with 12 closely-competed bids (the top six bids lay in a 10% range).

The bids, although slightly moderated, reflect developers’ cautiously optimistic long-term view.

"Looking ahead we expect a two-priced bidding strategy by developers, with sites closer to MRT stations and better amenities garnering strong demand compared with the rest. Key residential tenders in which to watch out for developers’ bidding strategy include the Kim Tian Road and Mount Sophia sites," UOB Kay Hian said.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
