Check out these possible bidding results for the 3 GLS sites launched for sale

An analyst reveals his expectations of the winning bid and number of bidders for each site.
 
Here are the comments from Png Poh Soon, Head of Research at Knight Frank Singapore:
 
1. Sengkang West Way / Fernvale Link (Parcel B) (EC)
  • Expected winning bid : $295 to $310 psf ppr
  • Expected selling price : $720 to $750 psf
  • Expected number of bidders: 5 to 7 bidders
  • Although located 2 km away from Sengkang MRT station, this site encompasses some positive attributes, such as its close proximity to Sengkang Riverside Park with park connectors to Punggol Waterway, and well-connected to Tampines Expressway.
  • More activities are expected in this area over the next 1 to 2 years upon completion of the nearby HDB estates, H20 Residences and other facilities, including Aerospace Park slated for completion next year and The Seletar Mall at Fernvale LRT Station slated for completion by the end of 2014. 

2. Pasir Ris Drive 3 / Pasir Ris Rise (EC)

  • Expected winning bid : $295 to $305 psf ppr
  • Expected selling price : $740 to $750 psf
  • Expected number of bidders: 5 to 7 bidders
  • We expect cautious bids from developers due to the expected strong competition coming from adjacent condominium developments such as Sea Esta, Ripple Bay, Watercolours and Seastrand. As at August 2012, the four projects still have about 385 unsold units in total. In addition, the EC market is becoming more competitive as the government injects more EC land supply into the market. Competition also comes from new launches in Punggol and Sengkang areas, which are attracting buying interest for the improved amenities and facilities. 

3. Alexandra Road / Alexandra View (Parcel B)

  • Expected winning bid : $900 to $930 psf ppr
  • Expected selling price : $1,680 to $1,750 psf
  • Expected number of bidders: 4 to 6 bidders
  • The Alexandra/Redhill area is viewed as one of the prime locations with its close proximity to central downtown. Notwithstanding that, there has been an increase in land supply in the vicinity with 3 land sites sold over the past 10 months, we foresee land bids for this site to be competitive as developers seek well- located sites in the central region.

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.
