How much have EC land rates risen over the past 10 years?

The highest EC land rate recorded was $721 pst ppr for Tampines St. 62 (Parcel B).

EC land rates have climbed over the past 10 years, increasing from $341 psf per plot ratio (psf ppr) in 2013 to a high of $721 psf ppr.

The latest record land rate stood at $721 psf ppr for the EC plot in Tampines St. 62 (Parcel B). It smashed the 2018 record of the Sumang Walk EC site whose land rate was $583 psf ppr.

Meanwhile, PropNex observed that prices of new EC units have hit a fresh benchmark, with the average transacted unit price crossing $1,470 psf at Altura EC in Bukit Batok in 2023.

Given this, PropNex said: "Offering one or two more EC sites on each half-yearly GLS programme could help to give some assurance to developers that there is ample EC land supply, and this may, in turn, moderate the bid prices for such sites in public land tenders."

“As new ECs are more affordably priced compared with new private condos, having a larger supply of new ECs will also be a boon for home buyers and HDB upgraders,” PropNex added.

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.
