From PropertyGuru:

Mixed-use development Selegie Centre has finally been sold at its $120m reserve price, or $1,942 psf per plot ratio (psf ppr), following two failed en bloc attempts.

This means apartment owners at the 30-year-old development in District 7 will receive around $1.7m, whilst shop owners will receive between $1m and $12m, depending on their unit size, revealed sales committee chairman M. Thomas.

Located at the junction of Mackenzie and Selegie roads, bordering the central business district, the freehold property features 25 apartment units and 33 shops. The 10-storey development, which was marketed by Property Link Services, is also within walking distance to the Rochor, Little India and Dhoby Ghaut MRT stations.
