This is how much City Developments will juice from Tai Thong Crescent

CDL's possible selling ASPs range between S$4k-5k psf.

According to OCBC Investment Research, City Developments Limited (CDL) was recently part of a JV, with Hong Leong Holdings, that put in a top bid of S$245m for a government land tender site at Tai Thong Crescent (Parcel C). The tender attracted eight bidders in total, and CDL came in 11% above the 2nd highest bid.

Here's more from OCBC Investment Research:

The 99-year leasehold site has a land area of 88,268 sq ft with a maximum allowable GFA of 308,948 sq ft. It is likely to be developed into a mixed-use residential-commercial project with ~265 residential units with 28 commercial units on the ground floor.

The top bid translates to a land price of S$793 per sq ft GFA. We estimate project- wide breakeven average selling prices (ASP) of S$1.2k – S$1.3k psf, which we see as fairly reasonable given the site location and attractive mix of use. In our view, CDL could achieve selling ASPs around S$1.4k – S$1.5k psf for the residential units and, for the commercial units, ASPs in the range of S$4k-5k psf.

The site is attractively located near Potong Pasir MRT station and is well connected to major transportation arteries, such as Upper Serangoon Road, the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE), the Central Expressway (CTE) and the Kalland Paya-Lebar Expressway (KPE). It is also a short drive from the Kallang Riverside which is to be a vibrant lifestyle precinct by the waterfront. In addition, the site is also near well regarded schools such as Cedar Girls’ Primary and Secondary, St. Andrew’s, and Maris Stella.

We continue to view CDL favorably in terms of management execution, and see the latest tender win as further evidence of their effective land-banking strategy to sustain future earnings.

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.
