CDL sets new benchmark for EC land with $782 psf ppr bid for Woodlands plot
SINGAPORE - In a determined bid to replenish its executive condominium (EC) project pipeline, City Developments Limited (CDL) topped offers for two EC sites at tenders closing on Aug 5. Both plots drew firm interest from five bidders, with CDL's bids also setting new benchmarks for EC land. A Woodlands Drive 17 parcel for 420 units saw a top bid of $360.9 million or $782 per square foot (psf) per plot ratio (ppr), slightly over the previous high set by Sim Lian's $768 psf ppr bid for a Tampines EC tendered in October 2024. The other EC parcel tendered, a plot in Senja Close in Bukit Panjang that can yield 295 units, was also topped by CDL at $252.9 million or $771 psf ppr. Mr Sherman Kwek, CDL's group chief executive officer, said: 'We are delighted to have emerged as the top bidder for these two well-located and highly sought-after EC sites, in particular for the Woodlands Drive 17 site where our bid is 0.2 per cent over the next highest bidder.' He added: 'With the full sell-out of our recent EC projects, Lumina Grand in Bukit Batok West and Copen Grand in Tengah, these two new sites totalling over 700 units represent a timely replenishment of our development pipeline in Singapore.' Three out of five bids for the Woodlands plot came in above the previous high. CDL's bid for the Woodlands site was a mere $1 psf ppr (0.2 per cent) higher than the second-highest of $360.3 million ($781 psf ppr) placed by a partnership between Sim Lian Land and Sim Lian Development. The next highest offer of $355.2 million, or $770 psf ppr, came from Intrepid Investments and TID Residential. This was followed by a tie-up between Hoi Hup Realty and Sunway Developments, with a bid of $352 million, or $763 psf ppr. Coming in last was EL Development, which placed a bid of $328.1 million or $711 psf ppr. Bids were at the higher end of analysts' expectations of $700 to $770 psf ppr. Consultants predicted firm demand for the 25,207 sq m site, and had anticipated four to eight bids, given the pent-up demand for new ECs in the area. Located next to Singapore Sports School, the land parcel has a maximum gross floor area (GFA) of 42,853 sq m and is expected to yield some 420 new units. The last EC parcel awarded in the Woodlands area was in 2015 – to Hao Yuan Investment for $103.8 million or $278 psf ppr. The project, Northwave EC, was launched for sale in 2016 and has a median new sale price of $779 psf. Senja Close bids For the Senja Close site, CDL also beat four other bidders with its offer of $252.9 million or $771 psf ppr. This was followed by TID Residential, with a bid of $238 million or $725 psf ppr. Oriental Pacific Development came third with a bid of $234.9 million or $716 psf ppr. Next was Wee Hur Development at $231.4 million or $705 psf ppr. The lowest bid was by a tie-up between ABR, RP Ventures and LWH, with a bid of $230.9 million or $704 psf ppr. Consultants had expected the Senja Close site to draw two to six bids, with land rates ranging from $600 to $750 psf ppr. Located at the Kranji Expressway, the site has a maximum GFA of 30,478 sq m, of which at least 500 sq m will be for an early childhood development centre that can take in up to 100 children. The last EC parcel awarded in the Bukit Panjang area was in 2010 to Grand Isle, a CDL unit, for $182 million or $271 psf ppr. The project, Blossom Residences, was launched for sale later in 2011, and has a median new sale price of $704 psf, according to caveats lodged. Prices of EC projects have trended upwards over the last few years, held up by limited supply and strong demand. The most recent EC launch, in the west, is Otto Place by developers Hoi Hup Realty and Sunway Developments, which clinched the site for $423.4 million or $701 psf ppr in February 2024. The project sold 351, or 58.5 per cent, of its 600 units during its launch in July. The average price of its units sold under the normal payment scheme was $1,700 psf.

New homes refused but car workshop gets green light
An application for seven new homes in Dudley which had been approved in principle has been rejected by council planners. The plan, to demolish a garage workshop and build a new apartment block on Phoenix Passage, was given outline permission 2022. Dudley planners however were not impressed by the proposed design of the new building and also had concerns about highway safety. A report from council officers on the plan said: 'This full application proposes development on three floors with one flat at ground floor and three to each the first and second floors. 'The building is generally T-shaped with garage parking under the building providing two off-road parking spaces. 'A further concern is that at ground floor level there is no active frontage with garage doors and a section of blank brickwork dominating.' In refusing the application, planners also raised concerns about parking provision and how vehicles would leave the site. Dudley head of planning, Carl Mellor, said: 'Whilst the proposed development shows the provision of two garage parking spaces for the development, it is noted that neither of these garages are to be provided in accordance with the council's adopted car parking standards and such would be unusable by the majority of cars. 'Moreover, the submitted tracking information which is not scaled fails to demonstrate that cars can successfully reverse out of the garages in a safe and convenient manner.' Planners have granted permission for conversion of Russells Hall Neighbourhood Centre to a car facelift workshop with a single storey side extension. In their report on the proposal for the Overfield Road building, planning officers said: 'The proposed development would provide job opportunities within the area and ensure the building is in a viable and suitable use. 'There would be no detrimental impact to amenity and there is sufficient car parking and no expected highways implications.'

Gambling parlour plan for popular Edinburgh neighbourhood as rejection appealed
A high street gambling parlour in an Edinburgh neighbourhood is chasing an appeal after it was denied planning permission. Merkur Slots, which already has slots parlours on Nicolson Street and Leith Walk, filed an application to open the outlet on Morrison Street in December of last year. However, in March, council officials denied the firm planning permission, saying that the proposed 24 hour running of the parlour would have an adverse impact on nearby residents. READ MORE: Edinburgh Gyle shopping centre evacuated after 'incident' in Morrisons store READ MORE: Edinburgh teen detained after night of 'lawlessness' which rocked the capital The denial read: 'While the application site falls within the designated city centre, the immediate surrounding area contains a large number of residential properties. 'Given the proposed use, it is considered that the change to accommodate an adult gambling centre, open 24 hours, would result in higher levels of user activity than at present. 'While the wider area is busy, with high ambient noise levels, the immediate vicinity of the application site is relatively quiet in comparison.' Up until 2023, the property at 181 Morrison Street was a showroom for carpet firm Carpet Rite. The appeal is set to come before the Planning Local Review Body on Wednesday next week, with officers recommending that permission be denied. In documents filed ahead of the meeting, Merkur Slots said that one of the objections to the planning application had been filed on behalf of one of their competitors. In addition, they contested the grounds on which their application was denied – however, they have offered to limit their opening hours to 8.00–midnight as part of their appeal. The slots parlour would not serve alcohol, and in their application the firm says that staff on site would aim to limit the impact of the venue on the community as much as possible. Customers who smoke would be 'asked to do so as quickly as possible', and notices would be put up outside the venue saying anyone who drank near the entrance would be barred. The firm says that the slots onsite would be 'low stakes', of between 10p and £2, with average stakes of 30p-40p. The Morrison Street site has already been granted a licence to operate by the council. The appeal will be considered at the next meeting of the Planning Local Review Body on Wednesday, August 13, which you can view here.
