Hougang Avenue 2 site receives $207.5mln as highest bid

The Urban Redevelopment Authority has closed the tender for the Hougang Avenue 2 residential site, with the highest bid coming from MCL Land (Serangoon) Pte Ltd.

Ranked second among the tenderers was Frasers Centrepoint Limited with tendered sale price of $189,288,000.

The 30,195.5 sqm land parcel has maximum permissible GFA of 42,274 sqm.

Li Hiaw Ho, Executive Director, CBRE Research, commented, "While the number of bids, at seven, are within expectations, the bid prices are fairly bullish. The top bid of $207.5 million or $456 psf/plot ratio will translate to a breakeven cost of about $780 to $800 psf for a low-rise condominium project. The new project could probably fetch around $900-$950 psf when launched in 2011."

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.
