City Developments wins bid for Sengkang EC site with $135m

It's only 0.1% above the second highest bid.

According to OCBC, City Developments Limited put in the top bid of S$135m (S$296 psf) for an EC site at Sengkang West Way/Fernvale Link. The tender attracted a total of six bidders and CDL’s bid was only 0.1% above the second highest bid.

Here's more from OCBC:

This site, with a total GFA of 455k sf, is located near Layar LRT station, Fernvale Point and the upcoming Seletar Mall, and the development is expected to consist ~380 units.

We estimate breakeven and selling ASPs at S$S$600 psf and S$720 psf, respectively; the latter generally in line with price levels at comparable projects, such as Twin Waterfalls and Riverparc Residence, over the first three quarters of FY13.

We expect this acquisition to accrete 1.5 S-cents to RNAV but leave our fair value estimate unchanged at S$13.10 (15% RNAV disc.) pending approval of this acquisition.

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.
