En bloc sale of Katong Park Towers launched

The reserve price is $288m.

Katong Park Towers at 114A Arthur Road will be sold en bloc with a reserve price of $288m, Cushman & Wakefield (C&W) said.

According to a press release, C&W earned the 80% consensus by share value and strata area for the tender launch.

The towers are located 200 metres from the future Katong Park MRT Station, which is slated for completion in 2023. The property is a prime 99-year leasehold residential site comprising a land area of 13,076.9 sqm.

According to Singapore’s 2014 Master Plan, the site is zoned residential with a plot ratio of 2.1 and a maximum building height of up to 24 storeys. Subject to approval from the relevant authorities, the site can potentially yield about 388 apartment units based on an average size of 70 sqm per unit.

C&W director of capital markets Christina Sim said the reserve price of $288m comprises a minimal development charge of about $5.6m for the additional 10% bonus balcony and a lease upgrading premium of $51m, resulting in a land rate of $1,165 psf ppr.

The tender will close on 15 March 2018 at 3 p.m.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
