Land parcel near Aljunied MRT receives 16 bids

23 Jan 2014

A residential site at Geylang East Avenue 1 (pictured) has attracted overwhelming interest, drawing 16 bids after its tender closed on Thursday, said the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA).

Launched for sale in December after a developer committed to bid at least $95 million, the site has a land area of 6,238.1 sq m and a maximum permissible gross floor area (GFA) of 17,467 sq m.

The highest bid of $145.89 million was submitted by S L (Serangoon), which translates to about $8,352 psm on the GFA.

This was followed by a joint venture offer from Tannery Holdings and Sekisui House ($142.777 million) and Verwood Holdings and TID Residential ($138 million). Alliance Homes placed the lowest bid of $104.35 million.

Offered on a 99-year lease, the land parcel is located close to Aljunied MRT station and neighbourhood schools.

A decision on the award of the tender will be made after the bids have been evaluated.
