THE Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) and the Housing & Development Board (HDB) have released three sites with residential components for sale at Dairy Farm Road, Sims Drive and Tampines Avenue 10 under the first half of the 2018 Government Land Sales (GLS) Programme.
For sale is one Confirmed List site at Dairy Farm Road launched for residential development with commercial uses at the first storey. This land parcel has a site area of 19,647.5 square metres (sq m), with a 99-year lease period, and a permissible gross floor area (GFA) of 41,260 sq m. The project completion period is five years, and tender for this development will close at 12 noon on 4 Sept 2018.
The Dairy Farm Road plot's most attractive attributes are its proximity to the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and partial unblocked views over the landed residential plots. The site's proximity to Hillview MRT station and major expressways as well as strong rental demand from expatriates in the locality are reasons why the site may prove to be popular with developers.
The last time a residential GLS site was sold in the area was in 2012, to a consortium led by TA Corporation for S$616 per square foot per plot ratio (psf ppr) and developed into The Skywoods. Nearby, there is an older condo development - The Dairy Farm which is now in the process of gathering the requisite consensus for its collective sale with an asking price of over S$1.68 billion, or a land rate of at least S$1,100 psf ppr inclusive of the development charge.
The current record GLS land rate (S$805 psf ppr) in the Bukit Panjang/Hillview/Dairy Farm/Bukit Batok locality is now held by the land parcel where Hillion Residences and Hillion Mall stand. Units in Hillion Residences have commanded average prices of S$1,496 psf this year.
