TEE Land cancels purchase of 338 to 364 Upper East Coast Road land plot

It is assessing the market after getting hit by cooling measures.

TEE Land decided not to exercise its option to acquire the land plot at 338 to 364 Upper East Coast Road and has forfeited its 1% deposit in the property.

According to an announcement, it took into account the impact on market sentiments and purchasers’ interest arising from the latest property cooling measures announced by the authorities on 5 July 2018.

“It has decided to adopt a more prudent and circumspect approach towards new projects in the meantime, pending clarity on the industry outlook,” TEE Land said.

On 28 June 2018, it entered into an option-to-purchase agreement to acquire the freehold interest in the property with a land area of approximately 3,928.8 sqm. The purchase consideration is $60m.

The plan was to build residential development on the land. The proposed acquisition was supposed to be completed by November 2018.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
