Chestnut Avenue residential site gets $180m top bid

S P Setia International (S) Pte Ltd was the highest bidder among 12 developers.

The 18,699.4 sqm land parcel will have a maximum permissible gross floor area of 39,269 sqm with condominium/flats as allowable development.

The site at Chestnut Avenue, offered for sale on a 99-year lease, was launched for public tender on 15 September 2011.

Joseph Tan, Executive Director, Residential, CBRE, noted, “The top bid of $180 million or $426 psf/plot ratio will translate to an estimated breakeven cost of $850 psf to $900 psf. This will give the developer a good margin based on the current pricing of (nearby) Foresque Residences.”

A decision on the award of the tender will be made after the bids have been evaluated.

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.
