Posted by Singapore Property Match on January 9, 2012

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.

Can SMS www.marktan.name  938-747-86 request for update when showflat is ready

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.”

S’pore property agents told to avoid operating in Malaysia..

Posted by Singapore Property Match on July 12, 2011

Mon, Jul 11, 2011

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.”

River Valley apartment sold en bloc for S$70.5m

River Valley apartment sold en bloc for S$70.5m
By Julie Quek | Posted: 27 June 2011 1931 hrs

SINGAPORE : A 40-unit walk-up apartment at 402-414 River Valley Road has been successfully sold en bloc for S$70.5 million to Alliance Land.

This translates to a land rate of about S$1,139 per square foot per plot ratio, with a gross plot ratio of 2.8 for the 22,000-square foot site.

If the 10 per cent gross floor area for balconies is included, it will work out to S$1,035 per square foot per plot ratio, at a gross plot ratio (GPR) of 3.08.

According to marketing agent, Credo Real Estate, a new development built on the site can potentially yield an estimated 130 apartment units, averaging 500 square feet each, depending on layout and configuration.

Credo said the project is suitable for a boutique development with small apartment units, which will be popular with both local and foreign professionals and investors.

Owners of the district 10 property stand to receive gross sale proceeds ranging between S$1.75 million and $1.77 million each.

The sale is subject to the approval of the Strata Titles Board.

The site has a total gross floor area of about 68,000 square feet, including the 10 per cent gross floor area for balconies.

The existing development is understood to have been built in the early 1960s, making it part of the first generation of flat developments built in the post-colonial era of Singapore’s history.

Tenure for the site is rather unique – at 999,999 years with effect from 1962.

CPF – CHANGES IN CPF MINIMUM SUM, MEDISAVE MINIMUM SUM AND MEDISAVE CONTRIBUTI​ON CEILING FROM 1 JULY 2011

Posted by Singapore Property Match on June 1, 2011

Dear Reader,
 
CHANGES IN CPF MINIMUM SUM, MEDISAVE MINIMUM SUM AND
MEDISAVE CONTRIBUTION CEILING FROM 1 JULY 2011News Release by:
Central Provident Fund Board
31 May 2011 –
CPF Minimum Sum

The Ministry of Manpower announced in August 2003 that the CPF Minimum Sum (MS)
will be raised gradually to reach $120,000 (in 2003 dollars) in 2013. The increase in MS,
which includes an adjustment for inflation, is to ensure that Singaporeans set aside
sufficient savings for their retirement. In line with this policy, from 1 July 2011, the
prevailing MS will be revised to $131,000, up from $123,000. Members who can set
aside the MS fully in cash can apply to commence their monthly payouts of $1,170
when they reach their draw down age. The new MS will apply to CPF members
who turn 55 from 1 July 2011 to 30 June 2012.
Medisave Minimum Sum and Medisave Contribution Ceiling

From 1 July 2011,
a.    The Medisave Minimum Sum (MMS) will be raised to $36,000 from $34,500.
Members will be able to withdraw their Medisave savings in excess of the MMS at or after age 55.
 
b.    The maximum balance a member may have in his Medisave Account, known as the
Medisave Contribution Ceiling (MCC), is fixed at $5,000 above MMS and this would be increased
correspondingly to $41,000, from $39,500.
 
As announced previously, any Medisave contribution in excess of the prevailing MCC will be transferred
to the member’s Special Account if he is below age 55 or to his Retirement Account
if he is above age 55 and has a MS shortfall.
 
The revisions to MMS and MCC are to ensure that Singaporeans have sufficient savings to meet
their healthcare expenses, and have been adjusted for inflation.
 
CPF Board organises free talks monthly for members reaching 55

To help members reaching 55 better understand the MS and make informed choices about
their CPF savings, CPF Board has been conducting free ‘Reaching 55’ talks every month for members.
The upcoming ‘Reaching 55’ talks are:Date:29 June 2011 (Wed)
Time:7.00pm – 8.30pm
Language:English
Venue:6 Shenton Way, DBS Building Tower 1, DBS Auditorium Level 3

 
Date:14 July 2011 (Thu)
Time:7.00pm – 8.30pm
Language:Mandarin
Venue:79 Robinson Road, CPF Building, Conference Room Basement 1

Interested members may register at the CPF website, or at any AXS station.
PUBLIC ENQUIRIES
Members with queries can call the CPF Call Centre at 1800-227-1188.Please visit link: http://mycpf.cpf.gov.sg/CPF/News/News-Release/N_31May2010.htm

The Canopy EC For Sale in Singapore By MCC Land launching

Posted by Singapore Property Match on March 17, 2011

The Canopy EC For Sale in Singapore By MCC Land launching.

Singapore developer MCC Land will launch its first residential project The Canopy EC this weekend.

The 406-unit 99-year leasehold project will offer condominiums ragning from 872 sq ft to 1,410 sq fit in two, three, and four-bedroom sizes. There will also be 22 penthouses from 2,088 to 2,239 sq ft. Prices will run from between S$600 to S$700 (US$459-535) per sq ft.

MCC has designed The Canopy to be as eco-friendly as possible and the BCA has already awarded the design with the BCA Green Mark Gold Plus Standard. “We made a conscious decision to build a basement carpark to maximise greenery on the surface level. Given that we are catering to families with young children, we want to ensure that there are enough open spaces. The apartment sizes are relatively larger than previous EC projects. With its affordable pricing, we are confident that The Canopy will attract a lot of interest,” said Tan Zhi Yong, managing director of MCC Land.

INCREASE IN DC RATES FOR NON-LANDED AND LANDED RESIDENTIAL HOMES

Posted by Singapore Property Match on September 1, 2010

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.
