The government has released three residential sites that could yield around 1,375 homes providing more choices for home buyers, according to the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) and Housing and Development Board (HDB).
Launched for sale under the confirmed list, two sites slated for executive condominium (EC) developments will be located at Sengkang West Way / Fernvale Link (Parcel B) and Pasir Ris Drive 3 / Pasir Ris Rise. The other site at Alexandra View (Parcel B) was made available under the reserve list.
With a land area of 14,100.8 sq m and offered under a 99-year lease term, the site at Sengkang could accommodate around 420 ECs.
It enjoys close proximity to Layar LRT station and the upcoming Seletar Mall, as well as to dining, shopping and educational amenities.
“More activities are expected in this area over the next one to two years upon completion of the nearby HDB estates, H20 Residences and other facilities,” said Png Poh Soon, Head of Research at Knight Frank Singapore.
He expects around five to seven bidders for the site with a top bid of around S$295 to S$310 psf ppr which could translate to a selling price of between S$720 and S$750 psf.
The site’s tender will close on 8 November.
