TWO residential sites in Holland Drive and Upper Bukit Timah are now available for application, the Urban Redevelopment Authority said on Thursday (Nov 16).
The 99-year leasehold sites can yield more than 1,000 private housing units in total and have been released under the Government Land Sales (GLS) programme’s reserve list for the second half of 2023.
The Holland Drive site is next to the One Holland Village mixed development, which drew 15 bids when it was put up for sale, noted PropNex Realty head of research and content Wong Siew Ying.
That site was awarded for about S$1.21 billion to a consortium comprising Far East Organization : 5TJ 0%, Sekisui House and Sino Group. This translates to a land rate of S$1,888 psf ppr.
As at August this year, all units in One Holland Village Residences have been sold at an average price of S$2,764 psf based on URA caveat data, Wong said.
However, the large site, with more than 600,000 sq ft GFA, will potentially translate into bids above S$1 billion, said Lee Sze Teck, Huttons’ senior director of data analytics. He said: “This huge quantum may put off bidders unless they are consortiums.”
