Cairnhill Astoria up for en bloc sale at $196m

The site can be redeveloped to offer about 200 540-sqft apartments.

Freehold development Cairnhill Astoria in Cairnhill Rise will be launched for collective sale for $196m via public tender on 17 May 2018, Colliers International revealed. The land rate of $1,964 psf ppr includes a development charge of $16.34m.

According to an announcement, sitting on a 3,587.5- sqm (approximately 38,615 sqft) site in prime District 09, Cairnhill Astoria – built in 1983 - comprises 36 apartments across a high-rise residential tower and a low-rise block. Under the Master Plan 2014, the land parcel is zoned ‘Residential’ and has a Gross Plot Ratio of 2.8.

Colliers International managing director Tang Wei Leng noted that collective sale interest amongst developers has shifted from the suburban to prime sites. "From January 01 to May 15, 2018, there were 13 successful collective sale deals valued at over $3.85b in Districts 09 and 10, up from five transactions worth $870m for the whole of 2017. We believe centrally located freehold sites such as Cairnhill Astoria will be sought-after, as it has the potential to be redeveloped into a chic and luxurious offering that will appeal to discerning home buyers today.”

Amenities such as Paragon mall and Mount Elizabeth Hospital and Medical Centre are five minutes away. The site is also well-served by the Somerset and Orchard Road MRT stations and is connected to the rest of Singapore via the Central Expressway.

It is also located near several popular schools, including Anglo Chinese School (Junior), St. Margaret’s Primary School, ISS International School, Chatsworth International School (Orchard Campus), and Lasalle College of Arts (Winstedt Campus).

Depending on the size of the property – ranging from 700 sq ft to 6,060 sq ft – each owner could potentially receive between $2.275m and $14.261m upon successful completion of the transaction.

Subject to relevant approvals from the authorities, the site can be redeveloped to offer about 200 apartments, based on an average unit size of 540 sq ft.

The collective sale tender for Cairnhill Astoria will close at 3 p.m. on 27 June 2018.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up 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. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
