Developers starting to get 'cautiously optimistic' over bids

But first major residential tender drew 12 bids.

According to UOB Kay Hian, the first major residential tender close for a site in Jurong West (29th Jan) continued to draw keen interest from developers with 12 closely-competed bids (the top six bids lay in a 10% range).

The bids, although slightly moderated, reflect developers’ cautiously optimistic long-term view.

"Looking ahead we expect a two-priced bidding strategy by developers, with sites closer to MRT stations and better amenities garnering strong demand compared with the rest. Key residential tenders in which to watch out for developers’ bidding strategy include the Kim Tian Road and Mount Sophia sites," UOB Kay Hian said.

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.
