City Developments' $245m bid for Tai Thong Crescent beats others

CDL's bid was 11% higher than the 2nd highest.

According to OCBC,  a JV between CDL and Hong Leong Holdings put in the top bid (S$245m) for a government land site tender at Tai Thong Crescent. The tender attracted eight bidders and CDL’s bid was 11% above the 2nd highest.

Here's more from OCBC:

We believe the site, with a land area of 88.3k sq ft and maximum permissible GFA of 308.9k sq ft,would likely be developed into a mixed-use development of up to 19 storeys with ~265 residential units and 28 commercial units on the ground floor. The top bid translates to a land price of S$793 per sq ft GFA and an estimated project-wide breakeven ASP between S$1.2k – S$1.3k psf, which we believe is reasonable given the site location and attractive mix of use.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
