High Point collective sale tender to close on July 28
Lake currently claims that the July 28 closing date has actually been prepared complying with rate of interest registered by developers. “After introducing the public tender in March we have remained in consistent contact with designers and also the rate of interest level in outstanding prime household locations has grabbed,” he adds. He includes that foreign property developers have likewise been able to go to Singapore considering that traveling constraints have been alleviated.
The 22-storey High Point was completed in 1973 and sits on a 47,606 sq ft residential site. It has an existing total gross flooring location (GFA) of about 211,976 sq ft, or a plot ratio of 4.45. Under the URA Master Plan 2019, the area has an allowed gross plot ratio of 2.8 and also elevation control of as much as 36 storeys. The URA development standard is approximately 213,383 sq ft with a plot ratio of 4.48. A pre-application workability research is likewise not called for by LTA for the site redevelopment for as much as 196 units.
The general public tender for High Point, a 59-unit residence block at 30 Mount Elizabeth, will close on July 28, according to marketing agent Savills. The residence was relaunched for collective sale on March 21 with an overview cost of $550 million, following a former attempt in 2021 that saw Hong Kong-listed Shun Tak Holdings terminate its acquisition of the property.

Savills claims the location could be redeveloped into a 36-storey ultra-luxurious high rise of 98 units, assuming a typical dimension of 2,153 sq ft each. Developers may also select to build also bigger units to satisfy new need from ultra-high-net-worth foreign buyers. Pointing out luxury condominium Park Nova as an example, Savills indicates that 37 out of the 54 units readily available at Park Nova have been offered since its launch last June at a standard cost of $4,815 psf.
Lake thinks that supply of modern ultra-luxurious condominiums will certainly keep “extremely constricted”, given that the most up to date air conditioning actions might make it more challenging to secure the 80% agreement required to proceed with a cumulative deal, specifically for growths in the core central region (CCR) where foreign property is much higher. This is because international proprietors will have to pay a more costly ABSD (Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty) when they purchase a substitute residential property “as well as therefore might be much less keen to take part the collective sale,” he incorporates.
No closing schedule was set at the time of the launch tender in March. Jeremy Lake, Savills’ operating supervisor for investment sales as well as funding markets, was then quoted as claiming that a closing day will be picked as soon as verified interest had been gotten from at least one developer.
The guide quote of $550 million for the location works out to $2,508 psf per plot ratio once factoring in the 7% bonus offer GFA for porches. The project charge payable for the 7% benefit GFA is about $18.8 million.
