The land parcel spans 2.52 hectares (271,250.5 sq ft) and has a maximum gross floor area (GFA) of 88,321 sq m.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Zoned residential with a potential yield of approximately 1,035 units with a maximum height of approximately 20 storeys, <\/span>the project is the largest scale amongst the five project sites in 1H2022 and is <\/span>considered a mega-development.<\/p>\n

In accordance with the Additional Buyers Stamp Duty<\/a> (ABSD) ruling, developers must complete and sell the entire development within five years to get back 25% of the land price, regardless of project size.<\/p>\n

With pandemic-induced delays affecting the supply chain and construction timelines, it remains to be seen how it will affect the Dunman Road site tender bids.<\/p>\n

Residential market remains robust<\/h2>\n

According to Ms Tricia Song, Head of Research at CBRE Southeast Asia<\/em>, the confidence of developers in the Singapore residential market is reflected in the robust tenders of recent land sales.<\/p>\n

The Dunman Road land parcel is 1km away from the Jalan Tembusu GLS site<\/a>, which saw eight bids and was purchased by City Developments Limited (CDL) for S$768m (S$1,302 psf ppr) in January this year. Freehold development Thiam Siew Avenue was sold for S$815 million<\/a> (S$1,440 psf ppr, assuming 7% bonus balconies) in November 2021.<\/p>\n

Based on the two previous land sales, it is projected that the Dunman Road site will receive six to eight bids from developers forming joint partnerships to diversify their risks, with a top bid of S$1,300 to S$1,350 psf ppr.<\/p>\n

City Plaza, Kinex and PLQ Mall is a 10-minute bus ride away<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
