Soilbuild clinches contract for prime industrial site

The developer won the tender for parcels 2, 3 and 4 at Yishun Street 23/Yishun Avenue 9 with a S$64.01m bid.

The 60-year leasehold site is zoned under “Business 2” and is suitable for a ramp-up business space development with direct vehicular access. The plot is situated near the existing Yishun Industrial Park and offers easy access to the Central Expressway and Seletar Expressway. The project completion period for the site is 36 months from the date of tender acceptance by JTC.

With a site area of 46,548.90 square metres and a gross plot ratio of 2.5, the site can be developed into a business space with maximum gross floor area (“GFA”) of 116,372.25 square metres (1,252,631 square feet). Based on the maximum allowable GFA, the land cost is approximately S$550.06 per square metre per plot ratio.

In a statement, Soilbuild said the purchase will be funded by the Group’s internal resources and bank borrowings. “The Group does not expect any material financial impact on the consolidated net tangible assets per share and the consolidated earnings per share of Soilbuild for the current financial year ending 31 December 2010 arising from the transaction,” the company said.

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.
