Here is the most expensive commercial site sold in 1Q13

It was worth an eye-popping $701.08m.

According to Colliers International, the pricies State land sale in absolute quantum in 1Q 2013 was the award of a 99-year leasehold commercial site on Venture Avenue (Jurong Gateway) to a unit of Sim Lian Group for a whopping $701.08 million or $1,009 per sq ft per plot ratio.

This is also the largest commercial site sold, in terms of absolute quantum value, since September 2007 when the South Beach site was sold to a joint-venture comprising City Developments Limited, Istithmar (part of the Dubai World Group) and EL-AD Group for $1.69 billion or $1,069 per sq ft per plot ratio.

Here's more from Colliers:

Following closely behind was another condominium site, located on Ang Mo Kio Avenue 2 and Ang Mo Kio Street 13, which was awarded to Wheelock Properties Limited in January 2013 for $550.00 million or $790 per sq ft per plot ratio.

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.
