En bloc sites to continue gaining traction

Developers are actively replenishing their land banks.

There is a continued optimism in bids for government land sales (GLS) and en bloc sites, DBS Group Research said.

This drive amongst developers comes from the intent to replenish their land bank and ride on a turn in the sentiment on Singapore’s property market.

"However, we note that increasingly developers/ contractors are forming consortia or partnerships to bid for land, potentially to raise their pricing capabilities and to share risks," analyst Rachel Tan said.

To recall, a total of $1b was invested at Serangoon Gardens just recently.

Keppel Land-Wing Tai JV won the bid for the Serangoon North Avenue 1 land site for $446m over 15 other bidders.

Additionally, the Oxley consortium just closed Singapore’s seventh en bloc deal year-to-date – buying Serangoon Ville for $499m.

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.
