Market flux will settle soon: CapitaLand exec
Launch of condo project on Farrer Court site will go ahead by year-end
RECENT policy moves to cool the local property market have created some ‘flux’, but things should ‘settle’ in a couple of months, the chief executive of CapitaLand’s Singapore residential arm said yesterday.
‘We think there is currently some flux in the (property) market,’ said Wong Heang Fine.
‘People are not really sure what to expect from the recent government measures. But we think it will settle in a couple of months.’
CapitaLand will go ahead with the launch of its condominium project on the former Farrer Court site in Farrer Road by year-end. CapitaLand paid a record $1.3 billion for the 99-year leasehold site in a collective sale in 2007 and now intends to build more than 1,500 units on it.
The prices of units have not been fixed yet, Mr Wong said.
Market sources say that besides the Farrer Road project, CapitaLand is getting ready to roll out The Nassim, a 55-unit project in Nassim Hill on the former ANA Hotel site.
CapitaLand also gave the media and analysts an update yesterday on its plans for a mixed-use site at Bedok Town Centre which it bought this month in a government tender.
CapitaLand and its retail spin-off CapitaMalls Asia submitted the top bid of $788.9 million or $841 per square foot per plot ratio (psf ppr) – 21 per cent higher than the second-highest bid of $650.9 million or $694 psf ppr.
Mr Wong said the joint bid was bullish because the 99-year leasehold site has great potential.
The plan is to build a three-storey shopping mall and a condominium with around 500 units on it.
The mall, which will be linked to a bus interchange and Bedok MRT station, is projected to have a capital value of around $3,000 psf of net lettable area when it is completed in 2014.
And the residential component – which will consist of mainly two- and three-bedroom apartments – could be launched as early as next year.

From BT today :) :
"CapitaLand recently said that it will go ahead with the launch of its new 1,715-unit condominium on the former Farrer Court site in Farrer Road by the end of this year.
The chief executive of the group's Singapore residential arm, Wong Heang Fine, said that while the new government measures have created some 'flux' in the market, things should 'settle in a couple of months'.
The launch of the Farrer Road project will be closely watched as it is the largest single residential development likely to be offered to homebuyers in the near future.
CapitaLand is likely to hedge its bets by rolling out the development in phases, similar to what City Developments and the Hong Leong Group did with their 642-unit NV Residences in Pasir Ris."
CAPITALAND has started marketing D'Leedon, the 1,715-unit, 99-year leasehold residential project it will build on the site of the former Farrer Court.
http://www.businesstimes.com.sg/mnt/...S_UMPROP23.jpgIn bloom: D'Leedon will comprise seven high-end residential towers and 12 villas
The D'Leedon showflat has been built and agents have started distributing flyers to prospective buyers.
Units in the District 10 project on Farrer Road will mostly be priced upwards of $1,600 per sq ft (psf) for the most part, BT understands.
In terms of the number of units, D'Leedon is believed to be the largest single condominium project ever in Singapore.
that's all that they could come up with for the name, D'Leedon. :doh:
my feeling exactly. huh ? D'Leedon ?
agent telling me 1+1 600 sqft launching now, must submit cheque to ballot.
even capitaland mega project has 1+1 these days hahaha. i thought interlace's compact 2 bedders were as small as it gets for them. r we going to get an avalanche of 1+1 in the future?!

For mega projects like this (and recently The Minton) I would jokingly advise one to get the smallest cheapest unit. The facilities will be comprehensive and luxurious due to the size of project but you'll enjoy it as much as anyone else despite you paying less in terms of price and maintenance. Use it as a weekend / vacation home and invite 20 family members and friends to fully utilize the facilities! (Words of ugly singaporean)Quote:

What kind of a name is D'Leedon? It's not French. Grammar is wrong. Don't think it could be European either.
Sounds like it should be in the category of words like boomz, hiaz, etc... but for $1600psf? :doh:
MM units in this project will be super HOT...hopefully 20% max for 1bedder
nice promising project with gd views
hmmm.... not french, not european....Quote:

the worst part is many boutique projects are already D' something e.g. D'cambridge, D'banyan, D'Castila, D'casita, D'Mira, D'Almira, D'Fresco, D'ixoras, etc etc.
why would capitaland want to name singapore's biggest residential project (by no. of units) similarly?! :doh:
