GuocoLand sole bidder for Lentor Gardens GLS site at $985 psf ppr

GuocoLand tops bid for Lentor Central site with $1,204 psf ppr; sets new record for OCR land prices
GuocoLand tops bid for Lentor Central site with $1,204 psf ppr; sets new record for OCR land prices

The 99-year leasehold site for the lentor residential government land sale (GLS) at Lentor Gardens closed today with GuocoLand and Intrepid Investments (a subsidiary of Hong Leong Group) submitting a bid of $486.8 million and resulting in a land rate of $985 psf per plot ratio (psf ppr).

“For the Lentor Gardens site, we are envisioning a new high-end residential development with around 533 units, and with 600 sqm of childcare facilities,” says a GuocoLand spokesperson.

Mark Yip, CEO of Huttons Asia, noted that the bid of $958 psf ppr was the lowest for a land parcel in the Lentor precinct, and the first residential GLS tender to have received only one bid since the Silat Avenue GLS site in 2018, which a consortium led by UOL Group won for $1.035 billion.

The Lentor Hills estate could soon be widely known as a premium residential area with the development of three new sites. Last September, Lentor Avenue Central was awarded to a consortium of China Communications Construction, Soilbuild Group Holdings and United Engineers, who submitted a bid of $481.03 million ($1,108 psf ppr). TID (a joint venture between Hong Leong Group and Mitsui Fudosan) was the top bidder for the Lentor Hill (Parcel B), submitting a bid of $276.36 million ($1,130 psf ppr).

GuocoLand purchased the GLS site for $586.6 million ($1,060 psf ppr) in January 2022, with the future 598-unit development in Lentor Hills Residences, developed in collaboration with Hong Leong Holdings and TID, to be launched soon.

Last September, the 605-unit Lentor Modern integrated development was launched and saw 84% of units sold on launch weekend. At current the project is 88% sold at an average price of $2,104 psf.

Yip’s research indicates that bids have been on a decreasing trend since the first Lentor GLS site launch, which may have to do with developers being aware of the amount of land being pushed out for sale, as well as the high possibility of being imposed with additional buyer’s stamp duty if unable to sell all units within five years.

Two more GLS sites in Lentor are available for sale in the 1H2023 GLS Programme, one of which is expected to be launched for tender this month. The sites are expected to yield a total of 945 residential units.

Leonard Tay, head of research at Knight Frank Singapore, believes that all the seven residential sites in Lentor has the potential to bring about a total of 3,500 new units to the area, potentially accommodating 11,000 new resident within a span of three to six years.

The future development at the Lentor Gardens site, being within walking distance of the Lentor MRT station, Thomson Nature Park and Yio Chu Kang Stadium and Sports Complex, should draw potential homebuyers with its accessibility to recreational facilities and schools such as CHIJ St Nicholas Girls’ School.

According to OrangeTee & Tie CEO Steven Tan, the eventual launch at the site could see units priced around $1,950 to $2,050 psf.…

Singapore office rents see subdued growth in 1Q2023: JLL

Despite macroeconomic uncertainty dampening demand for office space in Singapore’s Central Business District, Grade A office rents showed a modest growth of 1.0% in the first quarter of 2023. According to JLL Singapore’s research, the gross effective rent for CBD Grade A office spaces rose on a quarterly basis to an average of $11.30 psf pm.

This is the second consecutive quarter of slowing growth following five quarters of consecutive growth, which Andrew Tangye, JLL Singapore’s head of office leasing and advisory, attributes to companies pausing their expansion and relocation plans.

Tay Huey Ying, JLL Singapore’s head of research and consultancy, notes that despite the current caution in sentiment, the scarcity of Grade A office space has prompted some companies to upgrade offices to better quality spaces in recent or soon-to-be-completed projects. This includes Munich Re and Corney & Barrow, who respectively took up two floors in 18 Cross Street and relocated to Hub Synergy Point, amongst others.

Several new office buildings are due for completion in the next two years in the CBD and beyond, including the Guoco Midtown in the Bugis-Beach Road area, IOI Central Boulevard Towers in Marina Bay, and Labrador Tower along Pasir Panjang Road, which are already partially pre-committed or negotiated. Financial, technology, media and professional services companies are amongst some of the occupiers that have already taken up or are in talks to lease these new spaces.

Despite this steady leasing activity, Tay believes that due to the present macroeconomic environment, backfilling of vacated spaces could take a bit longer and keep rental growth modest, or nonexistent, for the rest of the year. She added that the current lull in rent growth presents an opportunity for large space users to look into new office spaces in good quality buildings as the window is prime.

Tangye echoes her view, and expects that rent growth will pick up again post-2024 as the supply of Grade A office space dips and economic prospects gradually improve.…
