The tenders for three government land sale (GLS) sites launched in December as part of the 2H2022 GLS programme have closed. A site at Tampines Avenue 11, a plot at Marina Gardens Lane, and an executive condominium (EC) site at Plantation Close in Tengah were all up for tender.

The Tampines Avenue 11 site received a total of three bids, with a consortium between UOL Group, Singapore Land (SingLand)and CapitaLand Development submitting the top bid of $1.206 billion, which works out to an impressive $885 psf per plot ratio (psf ppr).

As the location is close to major transportation links, Altura EC Altura Executive Condominium will be highly sought after by homebuyers. Moreover, it is within walking distance to West Mall, Jurong Point and amenities such as schools, clinics and medical centers. It will definitely benefit the residents in the long run.

The 99-year site at Tampines Avenue 11 is 545,314 sq ft. The future mixed-use development will offer about 1,190 new homes, with the retail and community amenities catering to Tampines North’s residential population. The bid of $885 psf ppr could signify that homebuyers today would be prepared to pay above S$2,100 psf for the development.

At The Reserve Residences, the integrated development by Far East Organization at Jalan Anak Bukit, some 80% of the 732 residential units have been taken up since its launch in May.

Wong Siew Ying, head of research and content at PropNex Realty, believes the future development will prove popular with owner-occupiers and HDB upgraders, and will be linked to the future Tampines North MRT station on the Cross Island Line (CRL).

The site at Tampines Avenue 11 is close to another EC site at Tampines Street 62 which is currently up for tender. It can yield about 700 homes and is located next to the upcoming 618-unit EC Tenet. The tender for the Tampines Street 62 plot will close on July 18.
