High Point collective sale tender to close on July 28
No closing schedule was set at the moment of the open tender in March. Jeremy Lake, Savills’ operating supervisor for investment sales as well as capital markets, was then estimated as claiming that a closing day would be chosen when verified interest had been gotten from at the very least one developer.
Lake now says that the July 28 closing date has been prepared adhering to rate of interest signed up by developers. “After releasing the general public tender in March we have been in continuous contact with designers and also the interest degree in incredibly prime property sites has actually gotten,” he adds. He includes that international developers have additionally had the ability to see Singapore since traveling limitations have actually been reduced.
The overview cost of $550 million for the location works out to $2,508 psf per plot ratio after factoring in the 7% benefit GFA for balconies. The development price payable for the 7% benefit GFA is about $18.8 million.
Savills claims the location could be redeveloped into a 36-storey ultra-luxurious high rise of 98 units, assuming an average size of 2,153 sq ft per unit. Property developers can additionally pick to build even bigger units to satisfy new demand from ultra-high-net-worth foreign buyers. Citing high-end apartment Park Nova as an instance, Savills considers that 37 out of the 54 units available at Park Nova have actually been offered because its launch last June at an average rate of $4,815 psf.
The general public tender for High Point, a 59-unit condominium block at 30 Mount Elizabeth, will close on July 28, according to sales representative Savills. The building was relaunched for collective sale on March 21 with a guide rate of $550 million, following a preceding attempt in 2021 that saw Hong Kong-listed Shun Tak Holdings terminate its purchase of the residence.

Lake thinks that supply of modern ultra-luxurious apartments will keep “highly constrained”, given that the current air conditioning measures might make it more difficult to acquire the 80% consensus required to proceed with a collective transaction, specifically for advancements in the core central region (CCR) where international property is much higher. This is since foreign proprietors are going to need to pay a more costly ABSD (Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty) when they get a replacement residence “as well as consequently may be less keen to participate the collective sale,” he includes.
