Residential Site in Singapore’s District 9 Sells for S$62M

Two adjoining collective sale sites in District 9, Fairhaven and Sophia Ville, have been sold for S$62 million ($46.2 million) by JLL to a local developer. Totalling 23,828 square feet (2,214 square metres), the sites are zoned under the 2019 Master Plan for residential use with a gross plot ratio of 2.1.

The freehold residential sites were put up for tender jointly in late August. More than 80 percent of the owners have consented to the sale, subject to several conditions. Yong Choon Fah, senior director at JLL Singapore Capital Markets, said: “By conducting a joint tender exercise, we bring greater value to owners of both sites by offering the buyer economies of scale and a higher efficiency from the larger site.” Read more>>

Shenzhen Price Caps Create Home-Flipping Frenzy

Shenzhen, the crucible of China’s economic reforms and the nation’s technology hub, is seeing a buying frenzy in residential property, as a government-imposed price cap created arbitrage opportunities for speculators to make quick profits.

At China Resources Land’s CR City project in Nanshan district, the average price capped at RMB 130,000 ($19,760) per square metre was 28 percent cheaper than the neighbourhood’s prevailing market price. That attracted more than 10,000 bidders, helping the state-owned developer sell all 1,000 units within half a day on 25 November. Lucky buyers stand to make an immediate windfall on paper of RMB 5 million for a 100 square metre (1,076 square foot) unit. Read more>>
