    Ville for $131.5m
    Business Times: Sat, May 26
    NOVENA Ville, a freehold
    mixed-use development, has
    been sold to Fragrance Group
    for $131.5 million.
    The sale price works out to $
    1,839 per square foot per plot
    ratio (psf ppr).
    Inclusive of the additional 10
    per cent allowance for the
    balcony space of the
    residential component, this
    reflects a land rate of some $
    1,730 psf ppr.
    No development charge is
    payable for redevelopment of
    the site.
    The development, which
    comprises 33 apartments and
    10 shop units, has a land area
    of about 51,092 sq ft.
    The site is zoned "residential
    with commercial at first
    storey", with gross plot ratio
    of 1.4 and an allowable height
    of up to four storeys. This
    works out to a gross floor
    area of about 71,529 sq ft.
    "Given Novena Ville's location
    within close proximity to
    shopping centres like Novena
    Square, Square 2, United
    Square, etc, its reasonable
    sized land area and mixed-use
    zoning will allow the
    developer great flexibility to
    design a unique residential
    development with a modern
    and exciting complementary
    commercial cluster," said Tan
    Hong Boon, deputy managing
    director at Credo Real Estate,
    the marketing agent who
    handled the sale.
    "This new development will
    definitely add vibrancy to the
    existing mix of dining and
    shopping options available in
    the locale," said Mr Tan.
    With the sale, each apartment
    owner stands to receive gross
    sales proceeds of between $
    2.1 million and $2.7 million.
    Each shop owner will receive
    between $4.8 million and $6.3
    million.
    "When the tender for Novena
    Ville was launched on April
    26, 2012, the owners had an
    asking price of $125 million to
    $135 million," said Mr Tan.
    At the close on May 24, the
    tender exercise was hotly and
    tightly contested with very
    competitive bids from four
    parties, he added.

    I wonder if the eateries like Wee Nam Kee Chicken Rice would be retained?

    Just as well that Wee Nam Kee has already set up outlets in other places (e.g. Marina Square and overseas in Philippines).

    Novena Ville sold en bloc for $131m

    Tenants such as Wee Nam Kee Chicken Rice uncertain about future

    TENANTS of a busy stretch of eateries in Novena are weighing their future after the Novena Ville site was sold to the Fragrance Group for $131.52 million.

    A subsidiary of Fragrance bought the site in a collective sale on Thursday.

    The firm has yet to announce its redevelopment plans.

    Novena Ville comprises 33 apartments and 10 shop units, which include restaurants like the well-known Wee Nam Kee Chicken Rice shop and The Vines Seafood and Steak Restaurant.

    The main concern of the tenants is what the new development would mean for their shops.

    Mr Alan Lim, 53, who owns Penang Road Cafe along with his wife, Madam Agatha Chan, was resigned to the sale.

    'We can't help it. We just rent the place, so if it's sold and we have to move out, so be it.'

    Mr Lim declined to give a rental figure, but said it is 'more than $10,000 per month'.

    'We will look for a new place to go to after a few months, since it usually takes a while to find one,' he added.

    Mr Tarsem Singh, manager of Aromas of India, which opened three years ago, is worried the sale would cost jobs at the eatery.

    He said: 'The business has already settled here, so it's difficult to move elsewhere and set up at another location.

    'We have about six to seven staff. If the restaurant owner doesn't want to move, then the restaurant will close down, and people will lose their jobs.'

    The owners of Wee Nam Kee Chicken Rice, which has been there since 1989, could not be reached for comment. An employee said it was too early to discuss the shop's plans.

    Mr Tan Hong Boon, deputy managing director at Credo Real Estate, who handled the sale, said: 'With the sale, each apartment owner stands to receive gross sales proceeds of between $2.1 million and $2.7 million, and each shop owner between $4.8 million and $6.3 million.'

    Mr Kelvin Ho, chairman of the sale committee for Novena Ville, said the collective sale generated about 30 to 40 per cent profit above current market prices for both apartment and shop owners.

    More than 80 per cent of the owners had signed a collective sale agreement to sell the property, which has a land area of 4,746 sq m.

    The tender for the site opposite Novena Church had an asking price of $125 million to $135 million when it went on sale last month.
