Sumang Walk's EC development could yield 820 units

Since the site was sold for $509.37m, it could have a breakeven price of $1,000 psf.

Local developers CDL Constellation Pte. Ltd. and TID Residential Pte. Ltd. won against 17 bidders for Sumang Walk with a price of $509.37m, HDB said. They plan to develop the site for executive condominium housing.

According to a press release, the site has an area of 27,056.4 sqm and a maximum building height of 64 to 70 metres. The site can hold up to 820 dwelling units.

Sumang Walk has a maximum gross floor area of 81,169.2 sqm with a gross plot ratio of 3.0. The site has a 99-year leasehold.

HDB launched the land parcel at Sumang Walk for tender on 12 December 2017.

Edmund Tie & Company research head Lee Nai Jia noted that whilst the land parcel at Sumang Walk was awarded at a record price, the site has several attractive attributes. “It is within walking distance to Waterway Point and is proximate to the upcoming Punggol Digital District. There will also be a substantial rental catchment when the Digital District is up and running. Additionally, there are not many competing EC developments in the market currently.”

Lee expects the breakeven price is likely to fall between $1,000 to $1,100 psf ppr. “Whilst the winning bid is considered high relative to past launch prices, the demand for the site is expected to be supported by buyers’ positive outlook of the area. Furthermore, with prices of new private homes trending upwards, the final selling price of the future EC development will be an attractive option for investment,” he added.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
