An Executive Condominium (EC) site at the junction of Pasir Ris Drive 3 and Pasir Ris Link has been sold to Ho Lee Group Ltd & Maxdin Ltd, after offering the highest bid of S$122.20 million (S$291 psf ppr) in a state tender that closed on 11 October 2011.

The site, which was launched for sale on 25 August 2011, is zoned for EC housing and could possibly yield up to 390 condo units. It has a total area of 18,576.1 sq m and a maximum gross floor area (GFA) of 39,009.81 sq m, with a gross plot ratio of 2.1.
Chia Siew Chuin, Director of Research & Advisory at Colliers International, said “new EC units at the site are likely to breakeven at about S$580-610 psf,” given its S$291 psf ppr land cost.
She added that site psf price is also some 10.8 percent above the land price achieved for the Belysa EC site located on Elias Road / Pasir Ris Drive 1, which was awarded in October 2010.
Li Hiaw Ho, Executive Director at CB Richard Ellis (CBRE) Research, agreed and noted that the 315-unit Belysa EC at Elias Road, which was launched on 11 May at S$670 psf, “was fully sold within one month.”
“The newest EC project, Arc At Tampines (574 units) at Tampines Avenue 8, reportedly sold more than 300 units in the past month. It was launched at the end of August 2011 at $720 psf. A new EC project on the subject site, which can yield around 390 units, may be priced at similar levels.”
He added that the site “is about 10 minutes’ walk from Downtown East and E!hub @ Downtown East. White Sands shopping mall and Pasir Ris MRT station/bus interchange are a short drive away. Future residents will be able to walk to Pasir Ris Park and the beach.”

Singapore property agents have been advised to avoid doing business in Johor because they may be unfamiliar with Malaysian regulations and laws.
Similarly, Malaysian real estate agents have been discouraged from looking for properties in neighbouring countries, particularly in Singapore.
Loo Kung Hoe, Chairman of Malaysian Institute of Estate Agents Johor Baru, noted that the institute had received several complaints from Malaysian agents that their Singaporean counterparts were operating in Iskandar Malaysia to search for and sell properties to their clients in Singapore.
“When Singaporeans purchase properties via their Singaporean agents, they do not need to pay income tax or commission to local agents and that would affect government revenue,” he said.
Loo argued that Singaporean agents were committing an offence under Section 22D(5) of the The Valuers, Appraisers and Estate Agents Act.
He revealed that there are currently 98 registered property companies with 1,000 agents attached to them, while 20,000 freelance or unregistered agents are operating in Johor.
“Instead of taking legal action against them, we want to educate them and urge them to work hand-in-hand with our local counterparts.”
“Singaporean real estate agents can pass the documents and desired property to the local agents so we can help them look for it,” Loo added.
He said that the body wants to encourage unregistered Malaysian brokers and agents to take courses and register as certified property agents to prevent real estate deals from going awry.
“We want to prevent the unregistered agents from misleading or duping investors or property buyers, especially foreigners, which would create a negative image for Iskandar Malaysia.”

A ‘Thank You’ letter from Nicole Seah
AsiaOne
Sun, May 08, 2011
Shortly after the final results of the General Election were announced this morning, we received an e-mail from opposition candidate Nicole Seah. This is her letter, in full.
My friends, my fellow Singaporeans,
We may have lost an election but tonight we have rediscovered something so much more valuable – the pride of being Singaporeans. My fellow party members and I began all of this because we felt that we needed to speak up not just for you, but also ourselves.
The competition has been robust; sides were taken and things were said. But now that the contest is over, we must come together as one country and work to build that future we want.
When we choose our leaders, we ask of them not just their industry but also their judgment. We may not always agree with our government, but it is our responsibility to engage them in intelligent debate so that policies made in our name serve the common good.
Tonight our hearts are with Mr Low Thia Kiang and the Workers’ Party. They have made political history in Singapore and they have made us proud. For the next 5 years, we will depend on them to be our voices in Parliament. We are comforted that we will be well represented.
The great joy we feel at the election of the Workers’ Party is matched only by our profound sadness at the exit tonight of two great men from the political scene.
We want to pay tribute to Mr George Yeo, the outgoing Foreign Minister. Not since the tenure of the late Mr S Rajaratnam has anyone defined our foreign policy like Mr Yeo. A soldier, a scholar, a statesman. And to top it all off, a perfect gentleman. We hope that he will consider a run for the Presidency later this year. We believe he will be another peoples’ President and we cannot think of a better person to continue representing us to the world.
We also want to express our gratitude to Mr Chiam See Tiong who together with the late J B Jeyaretnam fought for ordinary Singaporeans at a time when it was much tougher for opposition politicians. Mr Chiam, all Singaporeans owe you a debt of gratitude and we salute you. We will carry on the work you began.
And so my friends, in closing I just want to remind all of you that while the votes have been cast and tallied, the work has just begun.
We know the kind of Singapore we want – we have been talking about it for months now. The time for talk is over; lets get it done.
Sincerely,
Nicole Seah
NSP Candidate for Marine Parade GRC
GE 2011

Developers will have to work in higher costs for new projects, as the development charge (DC) rates for both non-landed and landed residential homes have been increased.
They have gone up by an average of 13 per cent.
This is largely within market expectations, given the broad-based recovery in the property sector.
But the announcement comes one day after the government announced new measures to cool the property sector.
And analysts said this will cause developers to be more measured in their land bids and also in the en bloc market.
The residential sector is leading the increase in DC rates.
This is the tax payable by the developer when a property site is developed into a more valuable project.
This allows the government to have a share of the gains from the enhanced value.
Landed homes will see the average rates go up by 13 per cent – with the Sentosa area seeing the biggest jump of 36 per cent.
Meanwhile, the rates for non-landed residential use will also climb by 13 per cent.
The largest increase of 28 per cent will apply to city fringe areas like Tanjong Rhu, Farrer Park and Balestier.
The opening of the Circle Line has also pushed DC rates up for some locations. They included Braddell, Upper Aljunied, Bishan and Ang Mo Kio.
Analysts said this revision in DC rates is unlikely to have a significant impact on the property market. And what developers will be watching is how potential home buyers react to the slew of policy changes introduced by the government to rein in property prices.
Chua Yang Liang, head of research, Southeast Asia, Jones Lang LaSalle, said: “The DC rates component in most en bloc deals is usually quite small. The component is just about 5 to 10 per cent of the total cost.
“But going forward, because of the policies that have been effected today, I think the level of collective sales may see a bit of a slow down going forward, where developers may take a wait-and-see approach before they embark on new purchases.”
Meanwhile, the DC rates for commercial sites will increase by 1 per cent on average, with Jurong Lake District rising by 25 per cent.
Going forward, analysts said the rates could be a tad lower due to the policy changes, but some sectors will do better.
Dr Chua said: “The key impetus would probably be the IR (integrated resort); now it is in semi-completion state, so with further completion, say after the Circle Line comes in, the rest of the project completing, I think you can expect some revision in the Marina area going forward.”
The average DC rates for industrial use will rise by 10 per cent, with the Woodlands and Yishun area registering the largest increase.
In a statement, the National Development Ministry added that the DC rates for business zone commercial use have not changed significantly, while the levy for the remaining groups are unchanged.
The change in DC rates will take effect from September 1.

Budget And Property Prices
The rental prices fluctuate heavily depending on the supply and demand of the available units. The rental prices for private properties have in many places doubled in the last two years, as also happened during the 90’s property boom. The following table gives you a rough idea what you can expect with what kind of budget currently:
| Location |
Property Type |
Rental Range |
| Central (Newton, Holland Village, River Valley, Orchard, Tanglin) |
1-bedroom apartment |
S$3,000 – S$7,000 |
| 2-bedroom apartment |
S$3,500 – S$8,000 |
| 3-bedroom apartment |
S$4,500 – S$10,000 |
| Penthouse / 4+ bedrooms |
S$6,000 – S$20,000 |
| Terraced House |
S$6,000 – S$25,000 |
| Bungalow |
S$15,000 – S$60,000 |
| East Coast & Bukit Timah |
1-bedroom apartment |
S$2,500 – S$4,000 |
| 2-bedroom apartment |
S$3,000 – S$5,000 |
| 3-bedroom apartment |
S$3,500 – S$7,000 |

| Other Areas |
1-bedroom apartment |
S$2,000 – S$3,000 |
| 2-bedroom apartment |
S$2,500 – S$4,000 |
| 3-bedroom apartment |
S$2,800 – S$5,000 |
| Penthouse / 4+ bedrooms |
S$3,200 – S$8,000 |
| Terraced House |
S$5,000 – S$10,000 |
| Bungalow |
S$8,000 – S$20,000 |
Property Type – House Vs. Apartment
Expats typically live in either an apartment/condominium or a landed house. This is a matter of preference and budget. Typical condominiums in Singapore have multitude of facilities – e.g. swimming pool, gym, tennis courts, children playground, and BBQ pits. And they are usually within a walled compound with security guards around, although Singapore is not a dangerous place at all. Because the plot sizes are relatively small in Singapore, only the very luxurious landed properties have pools and other facilities. For somebody moving from a colder climate, you have to also remember that Singapore is in the tropics and there are more small animals (insects, geckos) around than you may be used to. These tend to cause more problems in landed properties, especially close to green areas. But if you have the budget, there are some very nice bungalows to live in that will give you the luxury and privacy that a condominium would not be able to do.
Transportation
Singapore has one of the most modern and best functioning transportation systems in the world, and travelling from any point in the island to another does not take long in normal conditions. Car ownership can be expensive in Singapore, but on the other hand the roads are good and less congested than in many other cities of similar population density. Public transportation is also very good, but tends to be more concentrated in areas where the Singaporeans live (close to HDB estates). In any case, unless you really live at the edge of Singapore, your commuting time would rarely exceed one hour.
Your main options for moving around are described below
Mass Rapid Transport (MRT)
MRT, Singapore’s metro/underground system, currently has 3 lines (4th being built currently). Our map search shows the location of MRT stations in Singapore. We will also give you details of the distance to the closest MRT station for each listing.
