    Normanton Park collective sale: Interest but no bids

    Jan 28, 2016

    Normanton Park condominium received expressions of interest from two developers but no bids at the close of its collective sale tender last Tuesday.

    The reserve price is in the region of $840 million, making it one of the largest en-bloc deals launched in recent years.

    Mount Everest Properties, which is marketing the sale, said this translates to a land cost of about $605 per sq ft per plot ratio (psf, ppr).

    The 99-year leasehold project near Kent Ridge Park has 60 years left on its tenure. It comprises 488 units in eight low-rise blocks and five 23-storey towers.

    Consultant Dillon Loi at Mount Everest Properties is not worried about the lack of bids, saying: "A lot of people are interested, the only weakness is the sheer quantum of the plot. If developed, there will be 1,600 units."

    He hopes the market will pick up over the next two quarters, after what he calls a "short-term fall in confidence".

    He said he is speaking to a few parties who are in talks to form a consortium to make a bid together.

    Recently, a 1.93ha parcel in Siglap Road received eight bids, with the top four all above $800 psf ppr. The top bidder intends to build a condo with 800 to 900 units.

    Next month, a state tender for a site at New Upper Changi Road and Bedok South Avenue 3 will close. The site is expected to yield about 570 units. The results of that tender would be a good indicator of developers' willingness to replenish their land banks, Mr Loi said.

    Fast forward to 2019. After Kingsford Development bought the former Normanton Park site in October 2017 for a staggering $1.344 billion, they are now preparing to launch it for sale.

    Kingsford is keeping the name, so the new condo will be called Normanton Park too. But this time, instead of around 4xx units, it will have over 1800 units. Given that the land cost works out to $969 per square foot per plot ratio (PSF PPR), after adding development and construction costs, break even should be around $1,500 PSF. So chances are it might sell at around $1,800 PSF. The Normanton Park showflat is under construction currently, and probably looking to open for viewings around 2nd quarter of 2019.
