Renewed interest in Farrer Road
The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) has accepted an application last Friday from a developer for a residential site at Farrer Drive to be put up for sale by public tender. The land parcel, which was made available through the Reserve List system on 16 Apr 2012, will be launched for sale by next week. The triggering bid came in at SGD88.9m, or SGD823 psf ppr. The 99-year leasehold site has a maximum GFA of 107,963 sq ft and is estimated to yield 100 dwelling units. Separately, a second site located at Farrer Road was placed under the Reserve List system in January this year. This plot of land is situated right next to Lutheran Towers and Dukes Residence and can yield around 40 residential units. Farrer Road is known for the collective sales done in the area, largely due to its concentration of older freehold estates and attractive central location. The last successful en bloc deal was the sale of Farrer Court in 2007; the site is now being developed into DLeedon, which is expected to obtain its Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP) in 2014. At the time, the sale of the 618-unit condominium made history when it was bought for a record SGD1.34b with another SGD500m of differential premium. The buyers were a consortium led by CapitaLand and comprising Hotel Properties Limited (HPL), a Morgan Stanley real estate fund and Wachovia Development Corp. Based on the sites maximum GFA of 2.35m sq ft, the price worked out to around SGD783 psf ppr. The estimated breakeven and average selling price were SGD1,300 psf and SGD1,750 psf, respectively. However, not all en bloc sales have a happy ending. Tulip Garden, a 162-unit project, was on the brink of sale to a consortium led by Bravo Building Construction in 2007 when the buyers backed out after failing to raise adequate funds for the acquisition. The last asking price for Tulip Garden was lowered from SGD650m in Jan 2011 to SGD600m in Jun 2011, translating to SGD1,118 psf ppr. This meant an estimated breakeven price of SGD1,450 psf. The price difference between an en bloc sale and one under the Government Land Sales (GLS) programme clearly indicates that private sellers are asking for unreachable prices, and this may push developers to turn to the GLS to replenish their landbank.

Resale prices of projects in the Farrer Road/Farrer Drive vicinity have risen close to those of new sales in a move to block bidders trying to win a ticket to the en bloc arena. We would monitor the smaller projects with higher plot ratios, such as Sommerville Grandeur, Sutton Place and The Wilshire, for more favourable en bloc opportunities.
