Shunfu Ville was sold for S$638 million on 19 May 2016, marking the third largest en bloc by quantum in Singapore. Each owner of the 358-unit condo, which lies less than 200 metres from Marymount MRT Station, stands to get around S$1.78 million. The 358-unit project was first put on sale in September with an asking price of at least $688 million or $791 per sq ft (psf) per plot ratio. The tender closed last October with no formal bids. It was relaunched for tender at the same price in late January.
This is Qingjian Realty's first en bloc purchase in Singapore since it began developing projects in Singapore eight years ago, and it succeeded with an offer that was below the reserve price of S$688 million.
Shunfu Ville, built in the late 1980s by the former Housing and Urban Development Company (HUDC) and privatised in 2013, sits on a 408,927 sq ft site with about 70 years left on its lease and a plot ratio of 2.8. The site can yield about 1,100 units with an average size of 1,000 sq ft, while break-even cost could be about S$1,250 psf, with new units fetching S$1,400 to S$1,500 psf.

183 Longhaus is an attractive new launch near Shunfu Ville that is attracting buyers.
Property consultants said Qingjian's bid was a sign of returning interest in en bloc opportunities owing to limited land banks on offer here, especially as the Government had cut back on its land sales programme. Despite the prevailing slow market, developers are confident of Singapore's property market in the longer term.
Qingjian was also the developer of Natura Loft (2008), Nin Residence (2010), RiverParc Residence (2011), Riversound Residence (2012), River Isles (2012), Waterbay (2012), Ecopolitan (2013), Bellewoods (2014), Bellewaters (2014) and The Visionaire (2016). Qingjian hopes to build over 1,000 homes at this site in Bishan-Thomson area.
The last collective sales of this scale were of the former Farrer Court for about S$1.34 billion and former Leedon Heights for S$835 million, both in 2007.
