Two redevelopment sites up for sale


TWO redevelopment sites have been put on the market - Elizabeth Tower and 70 Shenton Way.
A five-member consortium which includes Roxy-Pacific Holdings which bought 70 Shenton Way for $148 million in April last year is now seeking to sell the office block, which has approval for redevelopment into a 60:40 commercial-residential project, at a price said to be around $270 million.
This price works out to $1,583 per square foot per plot ratio (psf ppr) including an estimated $56.72 million for topping up the site's lease to 99 years from the balance term of 58 years and an estimated $6.93 million development charge (DC).
This calculation is based on the new development retaining 70 Shenton Way's existing gross floor area of 210,729 sq ft.
This is the maximum GFA allowed for the redevelopment under provisional permission granted by Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) on Aug 31 last year and extended till Aug 31, 2011.
However, property consultancy group DTZ, which is marketing 70 Shenton Way's sale through a tender exercise, said that the unit land price could potentially be lowered to $1,534 psf ppr if the successful developer is allowed to tap the maximum 10 per cent bonus gross floor area for balconies for the residential component of the proposed development.
This would entail a higher DC of $11.2 million but a lower lease upgrade premium of $54.9 million (based on the lower unit land price).
Such a scheme would take the potential GFA to 219,158 sq ft inclusive of the 8,429 sq ft bonus balcony allowance.
URA's provisional permission is for a 32-storey project on the 19,736 sq ft site which will include shops on the ground floor.
The proposed project will have mechanical carparking in basement 1, as well as conventional car park lots in a podium carpark on levels two to five.
Above that will be offices, while 135 apartments will be spread across the 24th to 32nd levels. There will be three sky terrace levels - on the sixth, 14th and 23rd floors.
Singapore Land Authority has granted in-principle approval for topping up the site's lease to 99 years, although the amount payable for this has not been made known yet.
Besides Roxy-Pacific, the other members of the consortium which owns 70 Shenton Way are Fission Group, Macly Capital, Pinnacle Assets and architect Chee Hsian Sing. All five hold equal stakes.
The tender for 70 Shenton Way will close on June 23.
Roxy-Pacific executive chairman and CEO Teo Hong Lim told BT that while the consortium had originally planned to redevelop the site itself, it has now decided to try and sell the site through a formal tender process after receiving unsolicited enquiries from property agents keen on finding buyers for the site.
'This will also give us an opportunity to ride on the increase in office capital values over the past year,' he added.
'If the consortium does not get the kind of price we have in mind, we can still proceed to redevelop the property itself,' he added.
Separately, the majority owners of the freehold Elizabeth Tower at Mount Elizabeth off Orchard Road have put their homes up for collective sale with an asking price of $630 million.
The site is zoned for residential use with 2.8 plot ratio and 36-storey maximum height under Master Plan 2008. URA has verified the project's existing GFA reflects an equivalent gross plot ratio of 4.6474.
Based on this, the $630 million price tags works out to $2,496 psf ppr (with no DC payable).
However, the unit land price could potentially be lowered to $2,323 psf ppr assuming the successful developer is allowed to tap the maximum 10 per cent bonus balcony allowance, which would entail an estimated DC of $15 million being payable, according to Credo Real Estate, which is marketing the site.
On both calculations, the breakeven cost for a new project would cross the $3,000 psf mark, say analysts. The tender for Elizabeth Tower closes on June 22.
The $630 million price tag for Elizabeth Towers is lower than the $673 million asking price during the previous collective sale attempt for the property in late 2007.
The last successful large-scale collective sale site sold in District 9 was Westwood Apartments, which transacted at $453 million or $2,525 psf ppr in 2007.

Two land sites at Orchard, Tanjong Pagar up for sale



Source:  Straits Times, Thursday, 19 May 2011

TWO centrally located land sites were offered for sale to developers yesterday - one for commercial and retail use, the other for inner-city homes.
Elizabeth Tower - a condo near Mount Elizabeth Hospital in the Orchard area - is a collective sale tender with an asking price of $630 million.
More than 80 per cent of owners have consented to the sale tender as required by law, marketing agent Credo Real Estate said yesterday.
The total gross floor area upon redevelopment of the 80-unit development is 277,682 sq ft, which includes an extra 10 per cent balcony gross floor area. Under the Master Plan 2008, 36-storey developments are permitted on the site.
Credo said the new development could boast 132 apartments with an average size of 2,000 sq ft, depending on the layout and configuration.
The $630 million asking price works out to $2,397 per sq ft per plot ratio (psf ppr), said Credo's managing director, Mr Karamjit Singh.
If the buyer purchases the additional 10 per cent space permitted for balconies, the cost works out to $2,323 psf ppr, he added.
At that price, a developer may expect to break even at about $3,000 psf to $3,100 psf, he said.
The last successful large collective sale in the area was Westwood Apartments, which sold for $435 million or $2,525 psf ppr in 2007.
The second property put up for sale yesterday was 70 Shenton Way, in the Tanjong Pagar district, at an indicative price of $270 million or $1,500 psf ppr.
The site currently boasts a commercial development, Marina House, comprising a four-storey podium and a 17-storey office tower with a gross floor area of about 210,729 sq ft.
Marketing agent DTZ said yesterday that the site has obtained provisional permission from the Urban Redevelopment Authority for the construction of a 32-storey mixed commercial and retail development.
In-principle approval from the Singapore Land Authority has also been obtained for a top-up of the lease to 99 years. The lease has 61 years left.
The tender for Elizabeth Tower closes on June22, while that for 70 Shenton Way will close a day later, on June 23.

Developers rolling out 2 new projects in Pasir Ris, Hougang

Developers rolling out 2 new projects in Pasir Ris, Hougang
Business Times: Thu, May 19
AFTER chalking up a 29 per cent month-on-month increase in private home sales in April, developers continue to release new projects this month.
At least two new residential projects will be rolled out this week - Belysa, an executive condo project in Pasir Ris, and Terrasse, a private condo development in Hougang. Both projects have 99-year leasehold tenure.
While units in recent EC projects start from two-bedroom apartments, NTUC Choice Homes and Chip Eng Seng Corporation unit CEL Development are developing only three and four bedroom units at Belysa, their 315-unit EC project at Pasir Ris Drive 1/Elias Road - to promote three- generation family living.
The average price will be $670 per square foot for buyers who opt for the normal progressive payment scheme. Developers of EC projects are allowed to offer the deferred payment scheme and buyers who choose this payment route for Belysa will pay an additional 2 per cent on the price.
ECs are a hybrid of public and private housing with initial buyer eligibility and resale restrictions, which are completely lifted 10 years after the completion of an EC project. There is a $10,000 monthly household income cap for those buying ECs from a developer. Developers must set aside at least 95 per cent of units in the first month of launch for first-time home buyers. Qualifying first- time home buyers will enjoy a $30,000 CPF Housing Grant.
At Belysa, which means illumination in Swedish, a three-bedroom compact unit starts from 829 sq ft and is priced from $574,000. A four-bedroom apartment of 1,335 sq ft is priced from $882,000. The most expensive unit in the development, a four-bedroom (suite) unit, costs $952,000.
The project comprises a 16-storey block and two 18-storey blocks. A seasoned property consultant described the project's $670 psf average price as within his expectation, given that the project does not include small units, which can be sold for a higher psf price.
Over at Hougang Avenue 2/Yio Chu Kang Road, MCL is previewing Terrasse condo later this week at an average price expected to be around $950 psf. The five-storey project will comprise 414 units - including one to four-bedroom apartments, five-bedroom penthouses and 15 garden duplex units (spread over the ground and basement levels).
For businesses looking for their own premises as well as property investors thinking of venturing into strata industrial properties, Soilbuild Group will be soft launching North Spring BizHub at Yishun Industrial Street 1 on Monday. The seven-storey light and general industrial development will offer direct vehicular access to every level for containers up to 40 feet in length.
The 60-year leasehold project will comprise 454 units ranging from 1,507 sq ft to 36,511 sq ft. Prices for the units begin from $478,000 or about $311 psf. Colliers International, which is marketing the project, said the units are suited for businesses from clean, light and general industries such as R&D, printing and publishing, engineering, warehousing and manufacturing.

New EC at Pasir Ris to aid three-generational living





Source:  Straits Times, Thursday, 19 May 2011
THREE-GENERATIONAL living will be championed in the first executive condominium (EC) to be launched this year.
The 315-unit Belysa project in Pasir Ris, at the junction of Pasir Ris Drive 1 and Elias Road, will be offering only three- and four-bedroom apartments.
It is a joint venture between NTUC Choice Homes (NCH) and CEL Development, and will be priced at an average of $670 per sq ft (psf).
This means that an 829 sq ft three-bedroom unit will start from $574,000 while a 1,335 sq ft four-bedder will be priced from $882,000. The largest four-bedroom suite of 1,421 sq ft sits under $1 million, starting at $923,000, both firms said in a release yesterday.
Private condo NV Residences in Pasir Ris was launched in September last year at an average selling price of $830 psf.
The developers said only three- and four-bedders were being offered after 'taking into consideration the challenges of Singapore's changing demographics and a growing preference among young married couples to live in the same estate as their parents'.
The demand for three-generation living is also expected to spill over from the HDB to the private sector, they added.
NCH chief executive Margaret Goh said these options will be attractive to young families planning for the long term as it allows three-generational living.
Experts said demand is expected to be healthy as ECs cater to the so-called sandwich class - those with a household income of $8,000 to $10,000 - and unable to afford mass-market homes. It is unclear though how the review of the $8,000 income ceiling for HDB build-to-order flats might affect EC demand in the future, they added.
Mr Colin Tan, research and consultancy director at real estate firm Chesterton Suntec International, said: 'There is also a pent-up demand from upgraders. If buyers are unable to buy private homes, then the next form of upgrading is through ECs.'
ECs come with condo-like facilities and are an upmarket hybrid of public and private housing.
Frasers Centrepoint's Esparina Residences near Buangkok MRT Station was the first EC to be launched in October last year after a drought of five years at an average price of $730 to $750 psf.
This was swiftly followed by The Canopy in Yishun, Prive in Punggol and Austville Residences in Sengkang.
Belysa - sited on a 99-year-leasehold 162,991 sq ft land parcel - will offer both the normal and deferred payment scheme. Viewing and applications will open tomorrow.
