2500 units up for sale at Flora residential site

More units will be offered in the next few years with freehold units available for as low as $600-900psf.

In a research by Kim Eng, it stated that with Hong Leong’s and City Developments’ familiarity of the area, they topped the bid for a 99-year leasehold residential site south of Edelweiss (see map) and has now launched the project for sale. Continuing the tradition of naming its projects in alphabetical order, the new project –well, you guessed it–starts with H and is called Hedges Park Condominium.

The site also offers the south of Ferraria, which is in the Confirmed List of the Government Land Sales (GLS) programme and will be released for sale this month. In terms of demand, The Gale is fully sold with the last transaction done at just under $1m, or $847 psf, for a 1,150-sq-ft unit. The launch of Hedges Park Condominium will be a test of the demand in the area, and a gauge of how tender prices may turn out for the GLS site. To recap, the site where Hedges Park now stands was sold last May for $148.3m, or $321 psf ppr.

The Flora Road area is located in Pasir Ris in eastern Singapore, and is near to the Changi Prison. To the east of the prison is Singapore Changi Airport. The Flora Road area appeals to workers at nearby institutions such as the airport, and companies located at the Changi Business Park.

According to Kim Eng, there is an abundant supply of completed units in the area. The A-F collection alone has 2,500 units ready for occupation. And to the north of it are two other sizeable projects. In the pipeline, the Gale will add another 329 units in 2013 and Hedges Park Condominium will add 501 units in 2014. The future GLS site is expected to yield 380 units. In terms of price, there is something for everyone with freehold units available for as low as $600-900 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.
