Punggol residential site sold at $363m

Sim Lian Land and Sim Lian Development closed the tender for Punggol site at $406psf ppr.

DBS said that the 99-year residential land parcel at Punggol which includes the Matilda House Conservation building is a 296,300sf site. It has a GFA of 893,393sf and can house 810 condominiums.

The top bidder, Sim Lian Land and Sim Lian Development, will have to restore Matilda House for use as a clubhouse in the new condominium project.

0.4% higher than the second bidder. The tender attracted 7 bids in total with the second bid at $405psf ppr, a margins 0.4% lower than the winning bid. Other bidders including Keppel Land Realty, a tie-up between Frasers Centrepoint, Far East Organization and Japan's Sekisui House, Hong Leong Group's Intrepid Investments as well as Allgreen put in bids ranging from $288 - $359 psf ppr.

Winning bid is at the lower end of market expectations. We estimate breakeven cost to be around $750 psf and selling price should range from $800–$850psf given its proximity to the MRT station. This would translate to a 10-15% margin.

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.
