Tender begins for The Arcade at 11 Collyer Quay

Offers can be made till March 19.

Colliers International announced that it is putting up for sale by tender, The Arcade, a 20-storey strata-titled retail-cum-office development located at 11 Collyer Quay, Singapore.

The tender closes on 19 March 2014, at 3 pm.

The Arcade occupies a prime site of 21,909 sq ft in the Central Business District (CBD) with a 999-year leasehold tenure. Under the 2008 Master Plan, the site is zoned for "Commercial" use with a plot ratio of 13.86 and a building height of up to 50 storeys.

Built in 1981, The Arcade comprises 3 levels of retail units, 16 levels of office space and a basement carpark. The maximum allowable gross floor area is 303,657 sq ft and the total strata area is 157,325 sq ft.
There is re-development potential for the site, as the existing plot ratio has not been maximised.

Ms Tang Wei Leng, Executive Director of Investment Services at Colliers International, says, "This is a rare opportunity for both local and foreign investors, given the scarcity of strata-titled mixed developments available for sale in Singapore.

"We envisage a mixed-used development comprising four levels of retail shops, including a basement level. Carpark facilities could occupy Level 4-6 and offices/serviced apartments from Level 7 onwards."

She adds, "We expect good demand for both the retail and office units, if made available on a strata basis. Based on recent transactions of office and retail units in the CBD -- Eon Shenton, Oxley Tower, Samsung Hub and SBF Centre, office space in the new development is expected to be priced at above S$3,500 psf, while retail space at above S$12,000 psf. The current asking prices for the retail units at The Arcade are already approaching S$10,000 psf, with the highest transaction achieved in January 2011at S$7,263 psf."

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
