Wonder what fragrance will build there, a hotel?
According to CNA report
"The site has a "commercial" zoning and the permitted plot ratio for the area is 2.80."
Can they build residential units there?
IMHO, NOL has made another mistake in selling this.
The sale is to ease their cashflow, but what is next to them? pay higher rental?

"Separately, NOL announced a net profit for the September quarter of S$61 million (US$50 million), against a loss of S$111 million a year earlier.
It said it expects to post a full year loss in the face of weak economic conditions, excess shipping capacity and high fuel prices."

But I think it is a good move, company should not hold non core assets. The money should be ploughed into expanding the business.
Anyway NOL is an uninteresting company now, Fragrance looks exciting.

I think NOL aint selling to expand its business. It's running outta cash!
Fragrance on the other hand seems pretty rich. Seems like they have no problem getting loans. Plus they were bidding quite aggressively for their 2nd Tanah Merah plot.

The sale of the freehold NOL Building (pictured) at Alexandra Road is reportedly being negotiated at a price close to S$400 million, with Far East Organization (FEO), Sim Lian and United Industrial Corporation as the main contenders, according to The Business Times.
The building was launched for sale in July by its owner, Neptune Orient Lines (NOL) Group and the expression of interest (EOI) closed in August, with around 10 offers.
Industry watchers reckon that the three parties were shortlisted to partake in the final bid submission.
The Business Times reported that the highest price attained so far could be as high as S$300 million, still short of the S$400 million indicative price. A market watcher, on the other hand, hinted that the highest bid could be between S$380 million to S$390 million.
Offering an existing net lettable area (NLA) of 207,505 sq ft, the 26-storey office block sits on a 108,060 sq ft site zoned for commercial use under the 2008 Master Plan.
The NOL building offers an existing gross floor area (GFA) of 294,500 sq ft, slightly below the maximum 302,568 sq ft allowed for the site, based on its plot ratio of 2.8.
The winning bidder many redevelop the site to achieve higher NLA from a higher efficiency ratio (ratio of NLA to GFA). Market watchers expect the likely bidders to redevelop the site into a new commercial project and will most probably strata title the space into smaller units.
Seems like Fragrance's $380m bid has won the heavyweights ??

Fragrance Group has inked a deal to buy Tower 15 at Hoe Chiang Road/Cantonment Road/Lim Teck??Kim Road, for $360 million or about $1,420 per square foot of gross floor area based on the 29-storey freehold development's existing gross floor area of 253,455 sq ft.
The building - which incorporates Klapsons The Boutique Hotel on the second to fourth levels - is on land area of 39,336.67 sq ft. Fragrance is said to be buying the property from a private vehicle controlled by the Lee family that controls listed Ezra Holdings.
In a filing with the Singapore Exchange on Tuesday, Fragrance announced the purchase price and gave the land lot numbers of the properties it was buying but did not identify the name of the property or whom it was buying it from.
"The company is currently exploring various development options including a commercial development with retail shops and offices or an integrated development with retail shops, offices and residential units. The development plan is subject to further changes and the approval of the relevant authorities," Fragrance said in its statement to SGX.
"The costs of the above acquisition and development will be funded internally and through bank borrowings. This transaction is not expected to have any material impact on the earnings and net tangible assets of the Company in FY2012," it added.
The deal is understood to have been sealed by private treaty deal brokered by DTZ.
