[tkc2263]

A friend of mine who resides in KPT attended an AGM on Sunday to discuss on embarking the en bloc trail.

KTP has started the ball rolling in collecting signatures.

The figure is S$300m... Will fill in the blanks once I have the details.

Katong Park Towers managed to eke out 80% to embark on its en bloc trail.

Will fill in the details once I have them.

Good luck..

KPT is the only 99 LH development in the Meyer road area. Can be difficult to get buyer. Meyer Place and Hawaii Tower both FH land also failed to find buyers.

I disagree. The fact that its the only LH in that area may tempt developer to bite. With a lower quantum, it may go en bloc. It gives a chance to those who love the area but yet cant afford to pay FH prices.

Being LH means that owners not likey to get a higher price due to the cost of lease top up. This being the case, developer will not likely to offer high price. With prices at Meyer area now at all time high and the en bloc cycle possible at the end phase, it will be very challenging to get a decent deal unless owners willing to accept lower prices.

Owners have to be more realistic, knowing that time is not on their side as the 99lh decays away at in increasing rate as it gets older....

The longer they hold, the less it's worth....

this project has been fully built up
so there is no room to intersify the land usage except with more small units....
I doubt there is sea view as well

best is no bidder, let it depreciate to $0, govt take over the land and resell to developer with new lease. let govt earn max $$ and goes in to coffer.

It has yet to happen, leesg123 may not be around to witness what you wish for.

I deduce that you stay in a FH pty, have a heart...
