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.

Werner loses again on issue of deaf driver, but dollar amounts are a lot lower
Werner Enterprises has lost on appeal in a case that at one point saw it facing a $36 million penalty for not hiring a deaf driver–later reduced by a federal court–who had gone through a company training program. The financial stakes in the case brought by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission under the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act are now about $335,000, a far cry from a jury's decision in 2023 to award deaf truck driver Victor Robinson about 107 times that figure. The unanimous decision last week from an Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals three-judge panel fully affirmed all the September 2023 decisions from both a jury trial in the U.S. District Court for Nebraska and later decisions handed down from the bench over post-trial motions. The affirmation includes a reduction in the original punitive damages awarded by the jury. That reduction came after the court ruled that EEOC awards are capped at $300,000. The EEOC was the plaintiff in the case on behalf of Victor defendants along with Werner (NASDAQ: WERN) included Drivers Management LLC, which is Werner's training subsidiary. Werner made several points on appeal, all of which were rejected by the appellate court. A recap of the case in the recent appellate court decision noted that Robinson had a 'medical variance' from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). That waiver is needed for a deaf driver to obtain a CDL. It was obtained in 2015. With the variance in hand, Robinson enrolled in Roadmaster, the driving school owned by Werner. His training involved not just a regular trainer but also an interpreter for the deaf, 'who communicated with Robinson from the backseat of the vehicle throughout the process,' according to the court's recap of the case's history. In September 2016, Robinson completed the training and received his CDL. But soon after, according to the recap of the case by the appellate court, Werner Vice President of Safety and Compliance Jamie Hamm told him on a call, 'I'm sorry, we can't hire you because of your deafness.' The call took place, according to the court, after Robinson had been told he had been preapproved for employment by recruiter Erin Marsh in an email. After calling Marsh–using a relay service for the phone call–the two talked about, according to the court, ''the job, the orientation, providing interpreting services,' and other general matters.' The district court's decision in January 2024 to award back pay to Robinson of about $35,000 lists several driving jobs Robinson had after not being hired at Werner, none of which lasted very long; only one, with Stan Koch Trucking, reached 12 months. Other jobs on his record included with J.B. Hunt (NASDAQ: JBHT) and U.S. Xpress, now part of Knight Swift (NYSE: KNX). The roughly $335,000 award is a combination of the punitive damages, capped at $300,000, and the backpay. In a May 2024 series of decisions on post-trial motions in the case, the district court summed up the basis for the jury's decision against Werner. 'The jury determined that Robinson was qualified to perform the job to which he applied, he could have safely performed the essential functions of the job with a reasonable accommodation, and Werner's refusal to hire Robinson was not based on business necessity,' District Court Judge John Gerrard wrote. There were multiple issues raised by Werner in its appeal over events in the trial. They included the question of 'causation' and whether Robinson's dismissal was because of his deafness; whether Robinson's overall driving record (which included several accidents) could be introduced to the jury; Werner objections to the admission of emails sent between Werner executives on the decision-making to deny Robinson employment; whether hiring a deaf driver would provide 'undue hardship' for Werner; and whether the FMCSA waiver meant Werner could not deny Robinson employment on the basis of his deafness. Ultimately, the appellate court did not side with Werner on any of the points made in its appeal. An email to Werner seeking comment had not been responded to by publication time.
