Raffles Medical Group to splurge $54.8m on Holland Village property

Site to be redeveloped into a 5-storey building.

According to OCBC Investment Research, Raffles Medical Group (RMG) recently entered into a sale and purchase agreement with DBS Bank to acquire its property at 100 Taman Warna (located adjacent to Holland Village MRT station) for a purchase consideration of S$54.8m.

The property has a land area of ~20,907 sf and has 72 years of tenure remaining (99-year leasehold land). RMG has already obtained regulatory approval to increase its gross plot ratio from 1.2 to 3.0.

Here's more:

This will allow RMG to redevelop the property into a five storey commercial building comprising five above-ground levels, one basement level and two levels of basement car parks with a total floor area of 62,720 sf.

The total redevelopment cost is estimated to reach ~S$65m and we believe construction will take approximately two years. RMG intends to occupy 9,000 sf of space for its own outpatient medical and specialist clinics (~20% of the net lettable area).

We believe this will enable RMG to target the Holland Village community, which is largely made up of expatriates and the more affluent local population.

DBS will lease 4,500 sf of space, while the remaining leasable areas are expected to be leased out to retail shops and F&B outlets. According to data from URA REALIS, shops in the Holland Avenue, Holland Drive, Holland Road and Holland Close area have fetched a median rental of S$12.93 psf per month from Jan to Dec 2013.

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.
