The Housing and Development Board (HDB) has awarded a residential site (pictured) at the junction of Woodlands Avenue 5 and Woodlands Drive 16 to Hao Yuan Investment Pte Ltd.
The Chinese firm offered the top bid of S$247 million, while the second highest offer came from MCL Land at S$238.7 million.
Slated for executive condominium (EC) housing, the site was launched on 15 March and drew a total of five bids when the tender closed last Thursday.
Chia Siew Chuin, Director of Research & Advisory at Colliers International, noted that “even though this site did not attract that many bids, the top two bids still reflect optimism from developers”.
With a total area of 25,800 sq m, it could house around 720 units with a maximum gross floor area (GFA) of 72,240 sq m.
