Sim Lian bids $970m on Tampines Court

Total sum to be paid will hit $1b.

Sim Lian bids $970m, or $655 psf, for the third attempt of a collective sale of Tampines Court.

According to DBS Equity Research, the total sum to be paid will be more than $1b. This makes it the second largest collective sale by quantum after Farrer Court in 2007.

The bid price of $655 psf includes a differential premium to intensify the site and lease-upgrading premium.

Once redeveloped, the site could bring about 2,609 residential units, with an average unit size of 70 sqm.

DBS analysts Rachel Tan and Derek Tan said, "We note that the tender has not closed pending the sellers/home owners accepting conditions put forth by Sim Lian. While we believe the project could be still profitable based on the price points, we note that there is a risk of ABSD if the development is not fully sold by the end of 5 years (estimated S$185m), given the huge size of the development."

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.
