Tender for Upper Paya Lebar site attracts 7 bids

A sales tender for a private residential site at Upper Paya Lebar Road has attracted seven bids, said the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) on Tuesday.

UOL Overseas Investments submitted the top bid of S$392.3 million for the 99-year leasehold site.

The bid was about 3.7 per cent more than the second highest bid of S$378.3 million from EL Development.

The lowest bid of about S$205.9 million was submitted by Asset Legend.

The land parcel has a site area of nearly 20,080 square metres and could potentially yield 670 residential units.

Analysts said the top bid of S$392.3 million works out to a land price of about S$648 per square foot per plot ratio (psf/ppr), beating previous top bids for nearby sites.

For instance, the land price was S$495 psf/ppr for the Bartley Ridge site sold in January 2012, and S$621 psf/ppr for Bartley Residences tendered in March 2011.

ERA said UOL may look to sell the units at S$1,200 to S$1,300 per square foot, or higher if market conditions turn favourable, while CBRE expects the selling price to range between S$1,300 and S$1,400 psf, pegged to the selling prices of Bartley Residences and Bartley Ridge.

Meanwhile, Nicholas Mak, executive director of SLP International Property Consultants, said: "Going by the healthy interests shown at both Bartley Residences and Bartley Ridge, the subject development is similarly likely to experience healthy home-buying interest.

"We estimate the developer's break-even price to be at S$1,050 to S$1,100 psf while the future project is likely to launch at S$1,240 to S$1,300 psf."

URA said a decision on the award of the tender will be made after the bids have been evaluated.

i-Deal-Clients for iPhones and iPads

On behalf of Powerful Negotiators @ PropNex, I am really excited to announce the soft launch of our beta version of the i-Deal-Clients app for all our clients to use.

This is a very powerful app that took us more than 1 year of research, planning and hard work to develop. It is now available for download from the Apple App Store.

Why did we invested so much time & effort to develop this app?

We want to provide a One Stop Service for our clients and provide them with the latest information and helping them to make better decisions when selecting their properties. This is the FIRST apps in this real estate industry that provide one to one concierge service between the agents and our clients.

I want to replace the traditional namecard to an "International Mobile Name Card" (the app) that anyone in the world can download and use. This will help anyone who are interested in Singapore properties to get very valuable, accurate and up-to-the-second "live" information and listings.

This app allows the clients to:

1. Search for property listings.
2. No duplicate listings.
3. Notification of any Sold/ Rented units in different districts which provide clients an update of prices done in different location.
4. Set an alert to our agents to check the properties you specifically searching for.
5. Be alerted on any good deals or projects by your dedicated agent.
6. Investment articles that are critical for your investment decision can be found here.
7. Recommendation on vendors to help clients manage their properties issues.
8. Amenities and children activities for the families are included in the searches.
9. New launches information and updates are provided
10. and many more...

While the current beta version is already fully functioning and provides all the information mentioned above, it is still the first phase of the app development. We are currently already developing the 2nd phase to enhance the app even better with more powerful functionalities and comprehensive information for consumers in the near future. For now, the i-Deal-Clients app is only available for IOS version.

The Android version will be coming soon. We look forward to receive feedback from our users so we can further improve it and provide better services to our users.
