Conservation bungalow site along Marine Parade Rd set reserve price of up to $110mn

This works out to be $1,164-$1,262 psf ppr including an estimated DC of $19.5 million based on a potential GFA of 102,648 sf.

According to DBS Vickers, the GFA is based on a 2.1 plot ratio plus a bonus GFA of 3,108 sf equivalent to GFA of the conserved bungalow.

It is estimated that the site could accommodate 98 condominiums of an average size of 1,000 sf each with the conservation bungalow as the clubhouse.

The asking price is slightly higher than what CapitaLand and Far East Organization had paid recently to buy Marine Point and Amber Glades enbloc sites at $1,056- $1,066 psf ppr. DBS Vickers thinks that the price, though slightly high, could still attract relatively good responses from developers due to its excellent location.

In addition, the conservation bungalow could also be an added appeal to the end product.

Based on $1,164-$1,262 psf of land cost, DBS Vickers estimates breakeven cost to be around $1600-1700 psf of saleable area and selling price would likely have to be in the $1,800-$2,000 psf range, assuming a 10-15% development margin. This is in line with the recent transactions at The Cape, which falls between $1,900-$2100 psf but higher than prices at the 3-year old condominium, The Sea View, which changed hands at $1,300-1,600psf.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
