Tender alert: Residential site Crystal Tower up for collective sale

The tender will close on February 27, 2012 at 12pm, so be quick.

According to a release, international property consultant, Colliers International will be re-launching – for collective sale by tender – a freehold residential site located at Nos 41-45 Ewe Boon Road.

The 60,482 sq ft elevated site is currently occupied by Crystal Tower, an 11-storey residential development comprising 28 units, many of which enjoy an unobstructed view of the Bukit Timah residential district. The development also comprises a swimming pool, a club house and surface car park lots.

Under the 2008 Master Plan, the subject site is zoned for “Residential” use with a gross plot ratio of 1.6. Subject to approval from relevant authorities, the site can be re-developed into a 12-storey residential development comprising 81 units of 1,200 sq ft each.

Ms Tang Wei Leng (邓慧玲), Executive Director of Investment Services at Colliers International, says, “Indicative pricing for Crystal Tower is S$150 million, which works out to S$1,458 per sq ft per plot ratio. A development charge of approximately S$5.22 million is payable up to a plot ratio of 1.76, which takes into consideration an additional 10-per-cent balcony space.

This compares favourably to the most recent land sale in the vicinity – Nos 2-8 Robin Road, which was reported to be sold in December 2011 at a land rate of S$1,462 per sq ft per plot ratio.”

Crystal Tower is strategically perched on a hill and located in the quieter area of the established Bukit Timah residential enclave. Access to the rest of the island is via major trunk roads including Bukit Timah Road and Dunearn Road, as well as the Stevens MRT station that is slated to open in 2015. Amenities and food establishments are easily available at the nearby Balmoral Plaza, and Adam Road and Newton Circle food centres.

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.
