If you mention Holland Village to anyone, you will find that eateries and watering holes are most often associated with the famous enclave in the Holland Road vicinity. As part of Master Plan 2014, the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) announced efforts to expand Holland Village to serve as a “signature community node for formal and informal events”.
In a highly charged race which saw prominent developers participating in the bid for the Holland Village Extension site, Far East Organization with its joint venture partners Sino Group and Sekisui House clinched the prized commercial and residential site with a winning bid of $1.213 billion. In its decision making process, URA said that the concept proposed by Far East Organization is “compelling in its design concept and planning of the public realm”.
Holland Village is already an established locale in its own right – attracting a colourful mix of professionals, expats and youngsters. After its planned expansion and rejuvenation, Holland Village is expected to provide more space and set the stage for increased community interaction.
Increased property developments around the Holland vicinity
Since May 2017, District 10 has seen a slew of en bloc deals – some 17 en bloc sales transactions have been reported, with a total estimated value of over $3 billion. In the Holland vicinity, six collective sales deals have been sealed, with the second biggest en bloc transaction this year taking place at Tulip Garden, which was sold for $907 million. Other recent sales in the upscale locale include The Wilshire, Hollandia, Toho Mansion, The Estoril and Olinda Lodge.
The area has seen robust en bloc activity, with some en bloc deals that closed up to 20 per cent above the reserve price. Property analysts expect the higher premiums paid on the land to be factored in the per square foot (psf) pricing of new developments to be built on these en bloc sites.
Current data trends suggests an upward trajectory of property prices in District 10. From 3Q2016 to 2Q2018, condo prices in Singapore have increased by 4.9 per cent on the average, but in District 10, it has risen by 11.9 per cent.
