Wing Tai’s Le Nouvel Ardmore sold for $4,200 psf

This is 20% higher than Kim Eng’s original assumption of $3,500 psf.

According to Kim Eng, Wing Tai announced the sale of a unit at Le Nouvel Ardmore to an interested person at $16.7m without discount.

Here’s more from Kim Eng:

The unit at Le Nouvel Ardmore has been sold to a company owned by Mr Cheng Wai Kin, the brother of Wing Tai Chairman Cheng Wai Keung. Without disclosure of the actual unit size, we estimate that the price works out to approximately $4,200 psf on an average unit size of 3,940 sq ft.

We have raised our ASP assumption more aggressively to $4,000 psf for both Ardmore Park projects, consequently increasing our RNAV by 10 cents a share.

The launch of Foresque Residences in May was met with rather robust demand, in our view. To-date, around 180 units have been sold at an ASP of $1,100 psf, about 10% higher than our assumption of $1,000 psf.

Despite uncertainties brought about by policy overhang, the demand for well-located, high-quality projects such as Foresque Residences is expected to persist.

Wing Tai continues to be selective in acquisitions and has been a notable absentee in recent Government Land Sales (GLS) tenders. Given that the results of recent tenders suggest that land prices are moderating, we expect to see more participation from the group for attractive sites in the upcoming tenders.

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.
