PEACE Centre/Peace Mansion (PCPM) has been put on the market for collective sale once again. This time, the owners are expecting offers in excess of S$650 million, sole marketing agent JLL said on Monday.
The minimum price of S$650 million reflects a unit land rate of about S$1,443 per square foot per plot ratio, after including an estimated lease top-up premium, but before factoring in bonus balcony plot ratio for the residential component.
The property was previously launched for en bloc in March 2019 with a reserve price of S$688 million. The owners later received in-principle approval from the Singapore Land Authority for a lease top-up to 99 years in April 2019.
PCPM, which is located at 1 Sophia Road, was built around 1977. It comprises 232 commercial units, 86 apartments and a carpark with 162 lots, totalling 319 strata lots in a 10-storey front podium block and a rear 32-storey tower.

PEACE Centre/Peace Mansion (PCPM) at 1 Sophia Road has extended its collective sale tender closing date by three weeks on the basis that the property's owners are still awaiting approval from the relevant authorities for a lease top-up, and that developers would require more time to evaluate government land sale (GLS) sites currently available in the market.
The tender closing date, previously scheduled for April 11, is now May 3, at 3pm. It is the owners' fifth attempt at a collective sale.
The prime mixed development in District 9 was launched for sale in late February with a reserve price of S$688 million, or about S$1,474 per square foot per plot ratio, before factoring in bonus balcony GFA for the residential component.
Tan Hong Boon, executive director at JLL, which is the sole marketing agent for the development said: "The owners are still waiting for the relevant authorities’ reply to their application for an in-principle approval for the lease top-up to a fresh 99 years. The reply is expected to be any time soon, but the schedule has fallen slightly behind owners' expectation.

THE owners of Peace Centre/Peace Mansion have put the prime mixed development site at 1 Sophia Road up for tender again, with a reserve price of S$688 million, or about S$1,474 per square foot per plot ratio (psf ppr).
Peace Centre/ Peace Mansion (PCPM) sits on a 76,617 square feet site, with a gross floor area of slightly over 600,000 sq ft. The property has 32 floors, with Peace Centre being a part-seven, part-10-storey commercial podium block, and Peace Mansion, a 22-storey residential tower with 84 apartments and two penthouses.
This is the owners' fifth attempt at a collective sale. In June last year, they were said to be eyeing a reserve price of S$650 million.
Under the Urban Redevelopment Authority's (URA) 2014 Master Plan, PCPM's site is zoned for commercial use. It has a verified gross plot ratio (GPR) of about 7.89 and may be redeveloped up to a height of 55 metres above mean sea level, said sole maketing agent JLL.

Both are mixed developments; list of commercial buildings still seeking buyers is growing

THE rejuvenation of Selegie Road will move further along if the owners of two buildings there succeed in their collective sale bids.
Selegie Centre, a 10-storey freehold commercial building, has obtained approval from around 90 per cent of owners by share value and strata area to launch a tender with a reserve price of S$120 million.
The land rate works out to S$1,942 per square foot per plot ratio (psf ppr).
This is the development's third bid at an en bloc sale, and its marketing agent is ERA Realty.
Over at Peace Centre/Peace Mansion, things are pending. This mixed-use development at 1 Sophia Road, off Selegie Road, is 10 per cent shy of the requisite 80 per cent approval level; over 70 per cent of owners by share value and strata area have said yes, including one owner who accounts for about 40 per cent.
For the owners, said to be eyeing a reserve price of S$650 million, this will be their fourth attempt at a collective sale. The marketing agent is JLL.

It has 32 floors in all: Peace Centre is a part-seven, part-ten-storey commercial podium block, while Peace Mansion is a 22-storey residential tower with 84 apartments and two penthouses.
Nearby commercial buildings include PoMo, Parklane Shopping Centre and Wilkie Edge. Considered to be located at the fringe of Orchard Road, it is also near the National Museum of Singapore, Singapore Art Museum, School of the Arts and Singapore Management University.
