JTC rejects bids for two industrial sites

The sites only had one bid each with lower-than-minimum prices.

According to a press release, the tenders for the industrial sites at Tampines North Drive 3 (Plot 2) and Tuas South Link 3 (Plot 27) will not be awarded. Only one bid was received for each site. The bids were not accepted as the prices offered were below the reserve price.

The tenders for the sites were launched on 28 November 2017 and closed on 23 January 2018. Both sites were on the Confirmed List under the second half 2017 IGLS Programme. The two are the sixth and seventh out of eight Confirmed List sites.

Recently, analysts observed that the prices of industrial sites are under pressure, which is highlighted by the fact that they fell 5.7% YoY in Q4. Cushman & Wakefield research director Christine Li said, "Market sentiment remains muted due to falling rents and developers are generally holding back launches and choosing to lease the units out instead."

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
