City Developments shells out cash for S$562.8m home site bid

It's 2.4% above the second highest bidder.

According to OCBC, City Developments was part of a consortium that put in the top bid of S$562.8m at a GLS tender for a residential site at Commonwealth Ave.

The firm said that CDL would have a 30% stake in this project. The tender attracted three bidders in total, and CDL’s bid was 2.4% above that of the second highest bidder.

Here's more from OCBC:

The site has a land area of 12.1k sqm and a maximum GFA of 59.2k sqm, and is across the street from the Queenstown MRT station – an attractive location.

We estimate breakeven and selling ASPs of S$1.35k psf and S$1.6k psf, respectively, for the 99-year condominium project with ~700 units, and expect this acquisition to accrete 4 S-cents to CDL’s RNAV.

Recent transactions over the last twelve months at Alexis, the last private condominium (freehold) launched in that area, were at ASPs of S$1.65k psf.

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.
