Tenders for Tanah Merah Kechil Link and Yishun EC sites closed with bids 'above expectations'

 

The 8,880 square metre site at Tanah Merah Kechil Link, next to Tanah Merah MRT station, attracted 15 bids, with the highest by MCC Land (Singapore) at $248.99 million. This translates to a land rate of about $930 per sq ft per plot ratio (psf ppr)

"The top bid for the Tanah Merah site would require the developer to sell the new apartments for $1,700 to $1,800 psf, which is bullish as new units in that area are trading between $1,500 and $1,600 psf"

 

the top bid for the Yishun EC site "shows that the developer is quite confident as the land rate is higher than the two EC sites launched for sale in 2019."

"At the land rate of $576 psf ppr, the estimated breakeven cost is about $1,000 to $1050 psf. The developer probably plans to launch new units at prices above $1,100 psf,"
