Two residential sites that would spur greater market attention

Clue: they aren't in the OCR.

Orange Tee Research & Consultancy notes that as with the past few GLS programmes,  the majority of the sites are skewed towards to mid-low end housing market located in the Outside Central  Region (OCR) which is inline with market demand. However, two choice sites that could spur greater market attention are the site at Mount Sophia  (strategically located near Dhoby Ghaut MRT) slated for condominium  development and another one at Coronation Road/ Victoria Park Road for  landed housing, it said.  

"We expect the latter to draw great interest due to the lack  of development sites for landed housing."

Here's more from Orange Tee:


Bidding for these sites is expected to be competitive. This is driven by  demand from established developers in Singapore who are running low on  development sites and new entrants who have been bidding aggressively in GLS tenders over the past year. This is especially so for EC sites given the  strong demand for ECs. The most recent tender for an EC site at  Sembawang received a total of eight bids with a winning bid of $323.76 per square foot per plot ratio (psf ppr). End user demand remains strong. For instance, the latest EC to hit the market, CityLife @ Tampines was more  than three times subscribed at the close of its e-applications period.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
