Here's why development charges for non-landed homes are flat

Despite 16 home site sales.

According to Colliers International, surprisingly, the latest revision of DC rates for non-landed residential use remained flat for all the sectors. 

This is despite the sales of 16 predominantly residential sites (including the collective sales of Thomson View) inclusive of 10 sites from the government land sales (GLS) programme, which reflected developers’ keen interests in several sites and the unabated rising land tender bids since the last review in September 2012.

"The government could possibly be monitoring the effects of the recent market cooling measures on the residential market, adopting a wait-and-see approach for this use group in this round of DC rate revision," Colliers International commented.

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.
