d’Leedon — Above it all
LOCATION MATTERS MASTER PLANNED AND DESIGNED BY WORLD-ACCLAIMED ARCHITECT ZAHA HADID,
THE 1,715-UNIT PRIVATE CONDOMINIUM IS WITHIN EASY ACCESS OF HOLLAND VILLAGE,
ONE-NORTH, ORCHARD ROAD, THE CBD AND JURONG GATEWAY, SINGAPORE’S SECOND CBD
Brought to you by CAPITALAND Singapore
EPJ2 • THEEDGE SINGAPORE | AUGUST 8, 2016
The $3 billion d’Leedon condominium
is a landmark in prime District 10.
Developed by a CapitaLand-led
consortium, the project contains
seven petal-shaped towers on a
sprawling site of close to 8 hectares.
d’Leedon was designed by world acclaimed
architect Zaha Hadid. It was a milestone for Hadid
as it was her debut project in Singapore and the
first high-rise residential development where
she was both the master planner and designer.
As the first woman to win the Pritzker
Architecture Prize (in 2004), Hadid was fam-
ous for her daring and curvaceous designs for
public attractions that have become landmarks
in their respective cities. Notable projects in-
clude the Guangzhou Opera House; London
Aquatics Centre; Maxxi National Museum of
21st Century Arts in Rome; and the Serpentine
Sackler Gallery in Kensington Gardens.
WELL-CONCEIVEDWith 1,715 units, d’Leedon is also the largest
private residential development in Singapore’s
recent history. The ingenuity of Hadid’s design
was that despite the sheer number of units,
the footprint of the built-up area occupies
just 22% of the total site area of 840,049 sq ft.
This means that almost 80% of the grounds are
dedicated to communal facilities for residents.
Among the amenities are landscaped gardens,
four swimming pools, two clubhouses, a gym,
spas and party houses. They, in turn, form the
centrepiece of the development.
Most private condominiums today contain
blocks that are close to each other. However,
the seven towers of d’Leedon are set far apart
from one another and arrayed around the
communal facilities. At 36 storeys, the project
towers over other condominium developments
in the vicinity which are only 12 storeys in
height. This means every unit at d’Leedon is
assured of a view. Lower floor units overlook
greenery or one of the pools. Those on the
higher floors have panoramic vistas of the
city skyline, the Southern Ridges and the sea
beyond, or mouth-watering views of the presti-
gious Good Class Bungalow estates of Belmont
Road, Leedon Park and Victoria Park, where
many of Singapore’s Who’s Who have homes.
‘GAME CHANGER’The architecture of d’Leedon has also raised
the bar for a neighbourhood on the cusp of
transformation. At the doorstep of d’Leedon
is the Farrer Road MRT station on the Circle
Line. One stop away is Holland Village, with
its eclectic bohemian charm and ambience
that has drawn Singaporeans and tourists
there for decades.
The URA has classified Holland Village as an
“identity node” in the 2014 Master Plan, which
means that the government will be sensitive in
preserving the existing character and vibe of the
place, even in its plans to rejuvenate the area.
A new Holland Village extension is in the
pipeline, which will include communal parks
and more pedestrian walkways. In keeping with
its village-like charm, a new pedestrian-centric
precinct located adjacent to the existing shop-
houses at the junction of Holland Avenue and
Holland Road will be built. Within the precinct
will be a cluster of new shops and restaurants.
Injecting further life into the area will be
a new mixed-use scheme to be located on the
former HDB public car park site. The site has
been put up for sale on the Reserve List of
the government land sales programme. The
development will have commercial, retail and
residential components, but more importantly,
the URA requires that the scheme include public
spaces that are pedestrian-friendly with shops,
restaurants and entertainment. This will mean
a wider spectrum of dining and recreational
options for residents in the vicinity and visitors
to Holland Village.
CONNECTIVITYBesides the MRT, d’Leedon is also well-served
by public buses to the CBD and other parts of
the island. A bus stop is conveniently located
at d’Leedon’s doorstep.
Those who drive will find it even more
convenient, as d’Leedon is accessible to three
expressways, namely the Ayer Rajah Express-
way (AYE), Central Expressway (CTE) and
the Pan-Island Expressway. Therefore, the
CBD and Orchard Road are just a 5-10 minute
drive from d’Leedon. Changi Airport is a 15-20
minute drive from the condominium. Jurong
Gateway, Singapore’s second CBD and the
future high-speed rail terminus is also just a
15-20 minute drive away.
Located a five-minute drive or just two
MRT stops from d’Leedon is one-north. Master
planned by JTC, the 200-ha site has a work-live-
play concept with knowledge-based industries
clustered together to facilitate exchange of ideas.
One-north has developed into a vibrant enclave
with hotels, serviced apartments, restaurants,
cafes and coffee joints as well as other amenities
at The Star Vista shopping mall.
Living at d’Leedon certainly has its privileges
given its unbeatable location with easy access to
amenities, work and educational opportunities.

Office rents in most markets to improve in 2017, says C&WMost markets in the region will see an
improvement in office rents on the back
of stronger occupancies in 2017, accord-
ing to Cushman & Wakefield’s Mid-Year
Outlook Report 2016. Across the 30 ma-
jor cities tracked by C&W through 2017,
14 may even post record rents.
C&W expects falling vacancies through
2017 to favour landlords in Tokyo, Syd-
ney and Melbourne, where strong de-
mand will keep Grade A vacancies hov-
ering close to their equilibrium of 7%.
Meanwhile, rents could begin to stabi-
lise in core markets, including Singa-
pore, Brisbane and Perth.
Singapore is expected to post the
highest vacancy increase of eight to nine
percentage points among core markets
between 2015 and 2017. Since 1Q2015,
rents for Grade A properties in the CBD
have slipped more than 15% and will
likely decline another 7% to 10% y-o-y
in 2016 before stabilising in 2017.
The city state will witness a record
supply of four million sq ft of office
space to be delivered by next year. Leas-
ing activity is also moderating as inter-
national banks continue to shrink their
footprints. A slowing economy and low
unemployment rate are also holding
back activity.
However, office investment in Singa-
pore saw a resurgence in 2Q2016 with
landmark transactions this year. For in-
stance, the sale of Asia Square Tower 1
to the Qatar Investment Authority for
US$2.5 billion ($3.35 billion) set a new
record in Asia-Pacific for the largest sin-
gle-asset transaction in the last five years.
Overall auction sales jump 54.1% q-o-q in 2Q2016, says Knight FrankOverall auction sales value soared 54.1%
q-o-q from $9.62 million in 1Q2016 to
$14.81 million in 2Q2016, according to
the latest Knight Frank auction report.
On a y-o-y basis, the overall auction
sales value increased 48.4% from $9.99
million in 2Q2015.
A total of 185 properties were put
up for auction in 2Q2016. That is an in-
crease of 31.2% q-o-q from 141 prop-
erties in 1Q2016. Seven of the proper-
ties went under the hammer. Of these,
four were transacted below $2.5 million,
while three others were sold for between
$2.5 million and $5 million. The latter
were all mortgagee sales.
There were 61 mortgagee sales in
2Q2016. Of these, 31 were fresh mort-
gagee sales comprising residential prop-
erties (21 units), industrial (six units),
office (two units), and shop and shop-
house (two units). Mortgagee sales val-
ue climbed 105.9% q-o-q from $5.88
million in 1Q2016 to $12.1 million in
2Q2016, despite only four of the prop-
erties being sold.
The residential segment registered
$13.24 million worth of transactions in
2Q2016. The number of residential prop-
erties put up for auction increased 21.2%
q-o-q from 85 in 1Q2016 to 103 in 2Q2016.
Of these, 43 were mortgagee sales.
Knight Frank expects the total num-
ber of properties put up for auction in
2016 to cross the 700 mark after 326
properties were auctioned in 1H2016.
Keppel Land opens Saigon Centre retail mallKeppel Land has opened its retail mall
in Saigon Centre (above left), Ho Chi
Minh City (HCMC). The mall, part of
Saigon Centre phase two, is anchored
by the city’s first Takashimaya depart-
ment store, which takes up 161,459 sq
ft of its retail space.
Saigon Centre is located on Le Loi

Saigon Centre phase two comprises
473,612 sq ft of premium Grade A of-
fice space, 592,075 sq ft of retail areas
and 195 luxury serviced apartments.
The 37-storey tower is designed by New
York-based architect NBBJ and sched-
uled to be completed at end-2017.
Meanwhile, the 25-storey office tower
in Saigon Centre phase one is current-
ly 97% leased to the diplomatic corps,
multi national companies, as well as
banking and financial institutions. Ten-
ants include DBS Bank, AIG, Reuters
and Mitsubishi Corp.
Saigon Centre phase one and two are
jointly owned by Keppel Land, Toshin
Development, and Vietnamese partners,
Southern Waterborne and Transporta-
tion Corp and Saigon Real Estate Corp.
Keppel Land holds a 45.3% stake in the
development.
JB City Council to relocate HQto Astaka’s One Bukit SenyumSingapore-listed Astaka Holdings an-
nounced that it will construct, develop
and sell a 14-storey Grade A office tower
to Johor Baru’s City Council (MBJB).
Menara MBJB (right) will be located
within One Bukit Senyum, a mixed-use
development site in Johor Baru.
The entire OBS development is ex-
pected to be completed by 2021 and
will have an allowable gross floor area
of 6.3 million sq ft.
Menara MBJB will have a gross floor
area of 445,848 sq ft and 558 car parks.
Once it is completed at end-2019, about
800 employees will relocate to the new
MBJB headquarters at the tower. Me-
nara MBJB is located next to The Asta-
ka @ One Bukit Senyum, a mixed-use
development comprising 438 residential
units, hotel, F&B, retail, office suites and
a business office tower.
Crown Group unveils resort-style development in SydneyAustralian developer Crown Group has
announced plans for its tropical re-
sort-style development, Waterfall by
Crown Group, in Waterloo, Sydney.
Waterfall by Crown Group (above
right) is designed by Sydney-based ar-
chitect SJB, with aims to provide res-
idents more engagement with nature.
The project will include a 22m or sev-
en-storey tall waterfall. “Waterfall by
Crown Group provides a sense of place,
where people can feel both a connec-
tion with nature and the urban envi-
ronment at once,” says Crown Group
CEO Iwan Sunito.
Located 5km from Sydney’s CBD on
O’Dea Avenue Waterloo, the develop-
ment comprises 331 apartments. Con-
struction works for the project are target-
ed to start next year and are scheduled
for completion in 2019. Apartments at
Waterfall by Crown Group will be re-
leased for sale later this year.
Real Estate Sentiment Index in 2Q2016 shows less pessimism among developersThe overall market sentiment has shown
signs of improvement, although there
is still pessimism, according to the
2Q2016 Real Estate Sentiment Index
(RESI). The composite sentiment in-
dex stood at 4.2 in 2Q2016, up from
3.8 in 1Q2016. Market sentiment has
been weak in the last 11 consecutive
quarters. The current sentiment index
increased to 4.3 in 2Q2016 from 3.9
in 1Q2016, while the future sentiment
index increased to 4.0 in 2Q2016 from
3.6 in 1Q2016.
Some 64.7% of the developers sur-
veyed expect the number of new launch-
es to hold at the same level in the next
six months. More than half of them an-
ticipate a moderate decrease in residen-
tial property prices in 2H2016.
About 94.7% of the respondents ex-
pect the global economy to slow down,
and 70.2% of them identify job losses
and declines in domestic economy as
two potential risk factors in the next
six months.
With Singapore’s 2016 economic
growth adjusted further downwards and
no respite yet from the government on
the property cooling measures, 56.1%
of the respondents think the downward
economic growth forecast will have a
moderate impact on unsold units and
prices in 2017.
RESI is jointly developed by the Real
Estate Developers’ Association of Sin-
gapore and the Department of Real Es-
tate of National University of Singapore.
The quarterly structured questionnaire
survey is conducted among senior ex-
ecutives of REDAS member firms. —

More developers offering penthouses where you can ‘stay then pay’ | STORIES BY MICHAEL LIM |
Traditionally, developers of high-end pri-
vate condominiums in the prime districts
have been reluctant to offer discounts
or deferred payments for penthouses,
owing to the rarity of such units, typi-
cally described as “bungalows in the sky”. “The
belief is that penthouses are designed for the
privileged few who do not need a discount or
deferred payment scheme,” says Samuel Eyo,
managing director of Singapore Christie’s Inter-
national Real Estate, the appointed marketing
agent for penthouses in various projects.
However, the recent success achieved by de-
velopers offering discounts and deferred pay-
ments for high-end projects — such as OUE
for OUE Twin Peaks and CapitaLand with its
stay-then-pay programme for remaining units
at The Interlace and d’Leedon — have spurred
more developers to contemplate such schemes,
especially if they have unsold units that have
been lingering on the market for a number of
years, says Eyo.
A case in point is Frasers Centrepoint,
which recently offered a stay-then-pay plan
for the fourth and last penthouse on the 35th
floor of one of its twin towers at Soleil @ Si-
naran. The 99-year leasehold condo contains
417 units and is located adjacent to the Nove-
na medical cluster and a two-minute walk to
the MRT station. The project was completed
in 2011 and all the units have been sold except
for this penthouse.
The two largest five-bedroom penthouses
sized at 4,930 sq ft fetched $9.7 million ($1,980
psf) in June 2011, and $10.8 million ($2,191
psf) in February 2014. The third five-bedroom,
4,715 sq ft penthouse was sold for $9.5 mil-
lion ($2,015 psf) in March 2014.
Two years ago, Frasers Centrepoint appoint-
ed acclaimed interior designer Suying Metro-
politan Studio to fully furnish the interior of
the remaining 4,715 sq ft penthouse with cus-
tomised European furnishings estimated to cost
over $1 million. The unit comes with unob-
structed 180° panoramic city views; a private
lift lobby; four bedrooms, including the master
suite; a private pool; and roof terrace. At that
time, the price tag for the fully furnished pent-
house was $10.8 million ($2,290 psf).
Frasers Centrepoint is now offering it for
$9 million ($1,908 psf). On top of that, the
new owner will be able to move in immediate-
ly after paying a 10% down payment if he is a
Singaporean or permanent resident, with the
balance due 12 months later. Meanwhile, for-
eigners have to put a down payment of 20%,
with the remaining 80% payable in 12 months.
Buyers will also have to pay a 3% stamp duty
and additional buyer’s stamp duty (ABSD) up-
front, if applicable. They also have to stump
up the maintenance fee for a 12-month period
amounting to $9,516, plus 7% GST.
Cheong: Such schemes will entice people back into the market, and move units that have remained unsold for at least two to three years
Eyo: The belief is that the penthouses are designed for the privileged few who do not need a discount or deferred payment scheme
THEEDGE SINGAPORE | AUGUST 8, 2016 • EP5
Listed property group United Industrial Corp (UIC) and sister company Singapore Land (SingLand) have rolled out a 12% discount package for its high-end five-storey condominium, Mon Jervois, located on Jervois Road in prime District 10. The 99-year leasehold low-rise project was launched in 2013 at an average price of $2,000 psf. As at end-June, 52 of the 109 units had been sold, according to URA data.
The 12% was offered in May to ensure that after the discount, prices will be competitive with those of new 99-year leasehold projects in the neighbouring Prince Charles Crescent, such as UOL Group’s adjacent Principal Garden, and The Crest by a Wing Tai-led consortium.
At 469-unit The Crest, the developer is offering a 15% discount and an interior design package worth $80,000 for one-bedroom units by upmarket interior design firm SuMisura. As at end-June, 124 units at The Crest had been sold at a median price of $1,720 psf. Meanwhile, 247 out of a total of 663 units at Principal Garden had been sold as at end-June, with the latest median price achieved of $1,614 psf. Developer UOL has also given an $8,000 price cut for units sold since July.
Mon Jervois has 15 penthouses measuring 1,475 sq ft for a two-bedroom unit to 3,003 sq ft for a four-bedroom-plus-family unit. Prices are said to range from $2.6 million ($1,762 psf) to $5 million
($1,665 psf) after a 12% discount. UIC-SingLand has also appointed SuMisura to design and furnish a handful of show units, including a 2,842 sq ft, three-bedroom-plus-family duplex penthouse. The asking price for the fully furnished penthouse is $4.88 million ($1,717 psf).
“Penthouses tend to have a limited pool of buyers and appeal mainly to foreigners,” says Joseph Tan, CBRE’s executive director of residential services. “At this price level, Singaporeans will opt for landed homes instead.”

Frasers Centrepoint is not the only one re-
sorting to all this. Keppel Land has rolled out
its own version of a stay-then-pay scheme for
12 of the 13 unsold penthouses at Reflection
at Keppel Bay. The 1,129-unit, 99-year lease-
hold development was designed by world-ac-
claimed architect Daniel Libeskind. Also com-
pleted in 2011, the entire project contains 35
penthouses.
Typical penthouses available for sale under
the deferred payment scheme range from a
3,724 sq ft, four-bedroom duplex to a 8,277
sq ft, five-bedroom duplex. They are priced
from $8.85 million ($2,376 psf) to $24.6 mil-
lion ($2,972 psf). A sole triplex super pent-
house of 13,293 sq ft comes with six bedrooms
and a price tag of $68 million.
Keppel Land’s rent-then-pay scheme for
the 12 penthouses works as follows: Buyers
need to pay a 5% down payment when they
exercise the option to purchase. They then
pay another 6% when they opt for the two-
year deferred payment scheme. The addi-
tional 6% down payment translates to two
years’ rent and a two-month deposit if one
were to lease the penthouse. At the end of
the two-year period, it can be used to offset
the balance payment.
The 13th remaining penthouse at Reflections
at Keppel Bay will be sold fully furnished by
Italian high-end furniture company Saporiti
Italia and is, therefore, not offered under the
deferred payment scheme. The 4,359 sq ft,
four-bedroom duplex is located on the sev-
enth floor of one of the low-rise villa blocks
fronting Marina at Keppel Bay. The asking
price is $12.9 million ($2,967 psf) after a 23%
discount. Buyers will have to pay 5% down
payment, followed by the remaining 95% ten
weeks later.
Alan Cheong, head of research at Savills Sin-
gapore, reckons developers are adopting such
strategies to clear their inventory of big-tick-
et units, such as penthouses, as the Monetary
Authority of Singapore recently announced that
it was unlikely to lift the property cooling meas-
ures before 2017. “Such schemes will entice
people back into the market, and move units
that have remained unsold for at least two to
three years,” Cheong says. “ Buyers will bene-
fit from such schemes, as they get to move
into the penthouses immediately and defer the
balance of the payment until 12 to 24 months
down the road.”
Interestingly, while the CapitaLand-led con-
sortium is offering the stay-then-pay programme
for the remaining units at 1,715-unit d’Leedon
and 1,040-unit The Interlace, these schemes
do not apply to the penthouses in these two
projects. Instead, the penthouses will only
enjoy up to 15% discount. “The developer
believes that buyers of penthouses tend to
be owner- occupiers and therefore are unlike-
ly to lease them out,” says Christie’s Eyo.
There are 29 unsold penthouses at d’Lee-
don, with sizes ranging from 2,949 to 6,265
sq ft. Of the units, only one will be sold ful-
ly furnished. It is also the largest available,
at 6,265 sq ft. The unit is located on the 33rd
floor of one of the seven towers and the inte-
rior was designed by Janet McGlennon Interi-
ors. The sprawling unit can be easily divided
into three sections — the main living and din-
ing area, the family area with four bedrooms,
and a one-bedroom section complete with its
own kitchen and living and dining area. All
five bedrooms come with en suite bathrooms.
The buyer has the option to turn it into a dual
key unit with a self-contained one-bedroom
apartment and separate four-bedroom unit.
The asking price for this unit is $10.9 million
($1,739 psf), after discount.
Meanwhile, The Interlace has 20 unsold
penthouses, which range from 3,488 sq ft
for a four-bedroom simplex to 6,308 sq ft for
a four-bedroom duplex with a roof terrace.
There is also a 5,877 sq ft triplex unit with
roof terrace.
A spacious four-bedroom, 5,726 sq ft du-
plex unit with roof terrace can be had for $5.2
million ($908 psf), after discount. From the
dining room, one gets a full view of the Pasir
Panjang Port, and the black-and-white bun-
galows in the Cornwall Road area. The living
room offers a clear view of Queensway all the
way to River Valley Road.

COVER STORY
Examining home ownershipASPIRATIONS
| BY FEILY SOFIAN & ESTHER HOON |
H omebuyers are upbeat about the
prospects of Singapore’s residential
market in the long run. About 43%,
or 217, of the 500 respondents polled
in a recent survey shared that they
were on the lookout to purchase a private
home in Singapore. The survey was joint-
ly conducted by property consultancy firm
Knight Frank and The Edge Property over a
one-month period starting from June 10. In-
terestingly, 59% of the 217 respondents who
plan to purchase a private home currently
own an existing property in Singapore, main-
ly an HDB flat, while another 21% own more
than one property.
Regardless of their intention to purchase
a private home, a vast majority, or 87% of
the 500 res pond ents, believed that Singapore
residential property makes a good investment,
citing potential capital appreciation as well
as the country’s stability and renowned sta-
tus as a gateway city and financial hub (see
Chart 1).
The minority, or 13% of respondents who
were less sanguine about Singapore properties,
was mostly concerned about the large supply of
homes, which would dampen rental yields. The
market has seen the new supply of residential
properties outstripping population growth in
recent years. This trend is likely to continue
over the next few years, says Knight Frank.
However, the property consultant highlight-
ed a pickup in purchases by foreign nationals
this year, which further underscores inves-
tor confidence in Singapore as a safe haven.
A total of 1,932 caveats were lodged by
foreign nationals, comprising permanent resi-
dents and non-PRs, for private non-landed
homes in 1H2016. This was 20% higher than
the 1,608 caveats lodged in the same period
last year (see Chart 2). The proportion of
foreign purchasers has remained largely un-
changed from last year because the number
of Singaporean purchasers has also increased.
“The rising number of foreign homebuyers
in recent quarters reflects the revival in
interest in Singapore residential property
over other overseas properties, given high-
er cur rency vola tility, a less transparent sys-
tem and tax considerations in other markets,”
notes Alice Tan, head of research at Knight
Frank Singapore.
Projects that drew a high proportion of
foreign purchasers in 2Q2016 include Ard-
more Three, Cairnhill Nine and OUE Twin
Peaks. Interestingly, some projects in the
city fringe and the suburb have also attract-
ed keen interest from PRs and non-PRs alike.
At Lakeville on Jurong Lake Link, foreign
purchasers accounted for 40% of the 40 ca-
veats lodged in 2Q2016 — 15% by PRs and
25% by non-PRs. Similarly, 47% of the 51
caveats lodged for Symphony Suites units in
2Q2016 were by foreign nationals.
Cautious interim outlookIn the short term, however, a confluence of
factors, including a frail economy, job uncertain-
ties and the additional buyer’s stamp duty
(ABSD) is deterring aspiring home buyers from
signing on the dotted line. The recent uptick
in sales was mostly driven by price incentives
and projects with strong location attributes.
Hence, among the 217 respondents who aspire

have accounted for the bulk of resale and sub-
sale caveats lodged annually. In the primary
market, however, units priced between $500,000
and $1 million formed the majority of new sale
caveats for private non-landed homes annually
over the same period. This might be owing to the
relatively smaller units offered in new projects.
The top three household income ranges
among the 217 respondents who aspire to own
a private home are $8,001 to $12,000 (21%)
$12,001 to $16,000 (20%) and $5,001 to $8,000
(20%). Notably, 18% of respondents reported
a household income of above $20,000.
Nearly half of the 217 respondents were
married with one to two children, which ex-
plains a higher preference for three-bedroom
units (see Chart 4). While the TDSR has
been blamed for the slower take-up of bigger
units in new projects, perhaps the design and
efficiency of the units in some projects or the
size of the internal space could be enhanced
for this group of buyers. E

to buy a private home, only 51, or 24%, were
likely to purchase their dream home over the
next 12 months. Meanwhile, 107 respondents,
or 49%, said they might take up to 24 months
to commit. The remaining 59 respondents, or
27%, could take longer than 24 months to
ink a deal.
When questioned on the outlook for the
Singapore economy and residential market,
half of the 217 respondents believed prices
will continue to fall over the next 12 months.
A bigger percentage of respondents said the
Singapore economy would fare worse in 2016
compared with last year. Beyond the next 24
months, however, 61% of respondents believed
that prices would begin to recover.
Rising job uncertainties are also keeping
homebuyers on the sidelines. Singapore’s un-
employment rate crept up from 1.9% in March
to 2.1% in June, according to preliminary es-
timates released on July 28 by the Ministry of
Manpower. About 68,300 residents were re-
ported to be unemployed as at June, up from
60,400 in March.
The survey also suggests that the ABSD con-
tinues to deter buyers from committing. About
58%, or 125 of the 217 respondents, would pur-
chase a private home within 12 months if the
ABSD was more favourable, up from 24% earlier.
For some buyers, the challenging market
presents an opportunity to unearth value
deals. Among the 51 respondents who are pre-
pared to commit in the next 12 months, 65%
believed there are good property investment
opportunities to be uncovered in this period.
The percentage is lower among the 107 and 59
respondents who might take up to 24 months
or more to buy their property, at 53% and
39% respectively.
Tan says the optimism about Singapore’s
property market prospects shown by a high
proportion of aspiring homebuyers is fuelled
mainly by our long-standing attributes. The
city state’s status as a safe haven for asset in-
vestments, the government’s proactive strat-
egies to advance real estate development and
the stable Singapore dollar all combine to
strengthen investor confidence in the prop-
erty market.
“However, headwinds persist for residential
property, in particular uncertain economic per-
formance, job security concerns and the pro-
longation of property cooling measures. De-
spite these challenges, interest in Singapore
residential property is anticipated to be sus-
tained in 2H2016, especially for properties in
the city centre and fringe locations, as unsold
inventory and upcoming launches taper off
and pent-up demand swells three years after
the imposition of the total debt servicing ra-
tio (TDSR). The continuing search for stable
property investment by both local and foreign
investors would support Singapore as one of
the property destinations of choice,” notes Tan.
Homebuyers’ wish listExpectedly, condominiums and apartments
emerged as the most popular choice of private
homes, with 199 of the 217 respondents con-
sidering to purchase them. Eight respondents
would only consider landed properties, either
strata or conventional landed homes.
Overall, private homes priced between $1
million and $1.5 million appear to be the pre-
ferred choice among homebuyers, with 42%
of the 217 respondents targeting to buy with-
in this range (see Chart 3). The trend was ob-
served across income bands, including among
respondents with a high gross household in-
come of above $16,000 and $20,000 a month.
Properties priced between $500,000 and
$1 million came in second, with 28% of re-
spondents indicating this price range as their
preferred choice.
Analysis of URA caveats supports this trend.
At least since 2011, private non-landed homes
priced between $1 million and $1.5 million

Tiong Bahru has evolved into an interest-
ing enclave of indie cafés, coffee joints,
artisanal bakeries and restaurants.
Antique and art galleries, independ-
ent bookstore BooksActually, yoga
studios and offices of creative agencies have
also sprouted up in Singapore’s oldest hous-
ing estate, which is also the first to obtain
conservation status.
Joining the milieu are the realtors of SRI, a
real estate agency that opened its 2,000-sq-ft
office space a month ago on the ground floor
of a block on Eng Watt Street, off Seng Poh
Road. The co-working space environment with
its bar-height work tables is best suited for
realtors who work flexible hours and, some-
times, remotely.
SRI, founded by managing partners Bruce
Lye and Benson Koh two months ago, is a spin-
off from SRI5000, which the duo co- founded six
years ago as a division of SLP Realty. They have
kept SRI, the acronym for Singapore Realtors
Inc. “But we felt SRI5000 was too much of a
mouthful,” explains Lye. “SRI is a brand that
people already recognise, and it’s simpler, so
we dropped ‘5000’.”
The choice of Tiong Bahru was intentional,
and the office’s location on Eng Watt Street
is ideal, given its ample parking space. “Be-
fore we selected this location, we spent a
week coming at different times of the day to
make sure it wouldn’t be inconvenient for
our agents.”
A well-honed tradition at SRI5000 was the
adoption of “5000” by member agents for
their vehicle registration numbers and the
last four digits of their mobile phone num-
bers. The number has become synonymous
with the team’s identity, and the tradition
has continued in the new firm. “The number
is still in our hearts,” says Lye. “One of our
agents recently won the bid for the latest car
number plate — SLF 5000 — and has put it
on her new Lexus.”
Café cultureThe Eng Watt Street unit now occupied by
SRI was once a showroom of tile company
Rice, which vacated the place last year when
it moved into its own building on Hender son
Road. SRI gutted the unit to create an open-
floor plan with a café-like space. A meeting-
area-cum-pantry at the rear features a skylight.
“People are drawn to this place because
there’s more sunlight compared with our pre-
vious place, which was in a conventional
office building,” says Koh. “Now that we’re on
a ground floor, there’s more sunlight, a park
just across the street, coffee joints and cafés
in the vicinity.”
At SRI, there are currently 120 agents, many
of whom had moved over from SRI5000. Another
80 are coming on board, and that will bring
the total to 200. While the majority are from
SRI, about 15% are agents who are crossing
over from other agencies, says Koh.
SRI5000 split from SLP Realty to have greater
autonomy, according to the duo. “There were
many levels within SLP,” says Lye. “We had
many ideas, but we couldn’t always push
them through.” SLP Realty is a subsidiary
of SLP International Property Consultancy.
Including SRI5000 and SLP Scotia (renamed
Scotia Real Estate in March), SLP Realty had
about 1,100 agents.
Lye, 33, and Koh, 34, were also not keen
on managing the agency and wanted some-
one to help them with the day-to-day opera-
tions. “We felt we lacked the experience,”
says the former.
That led to the appointment of Tony Koe
as CEO of SRI. The 45-year-old Koe was ex-
ecutive director of SLP International for four
years before leaving in May to team up with
Koh and Lye. Prior to that, he was with JLL
and Knight Frank.
Things came to a head at SLP when parent
company ZACD Group announced early this
year that it was transforming the latter into
a private-equity firm, with Ryan Gwee as an
equity partner and group managing director
of ZACD Group since end-2015. Gwee was
CEO of Asia Capital Pioneers Group and, be-
fore that, head of private banking at Stand-
ard Chartered Bank (China). Also in place is
a team of ex-bankers in ZACD’s new finan-
cial services arm.
ZACD also launched its Asia Pacific Real
Estate Opportunistic (ARO) Fund Series II in
February, with a target to raise $300 million
in equity. The ARO Fund Series II will focus
on investments in three asset classes: high-
end residential property in Singa pore, indus-
trial properties with a focus on data centres in
Asia, and student accommodation in Australia.
The repositioning of ZACD into a private-
equity firm caused some confusion about the
role of SLP, according to a source. “Some clients
called asking whether SLP was still a real es-
tate agency or whether it was now involved
in fund raising, which put some of the real-
tors in a bit of a predicament.”
Efficiency and transparency However, the trio at SRI saw their departure
from SLP as an opportunity to start afresh in
their own outfit. While they will maintain the
same culture, the new firm will give them the
opportunity to roll out all the tech initiatives
that they wanted to introduce. One example
is the introduction of greater efficiency and
transparency with regard to billing and pay-
ment processes for commissions and co-broke
agents’ fees, says Koh.
Not knowing when a payment will be made
is a source of frustration to co-broke agents,
says Lye. If they are informed in real time when
payments are made, they will not have to keep
calling to find out. “Most people may not think
it’s a big deal, but it is important to agents.”
At SRI, the group will continue to focus
on resales — from mass market to luxury
homes — which form 80% of the business.
It will stay away from new project launches,
as these involve a lot of manpower and time
commitment. “It’s a numbers game,” says
Lye. “Leading up to the launch, agents have to
spend two months hyping the project and col-
lecting cheques. But on the actual day of the
launch, only a fraction of those who submitted
cheques will actually buy. So, for every three
happy faces, there will be seven sad agents at
the launch. As team leaders working along-
side our agents, we know how they feel and
want to avoid that.”
A case in point was the launch of execu-
tive condominium Treasure Crest in Sengkang.
A total of 1,077 e-applications were received
over a 10-day period last month. On the first
two days of booking over the weekend of July
16 and 17, 362 out of 504 units were sold. The
conversion rate from e-applicants to buyers was
33.6%, “which is considered good in today’s
market”, says SRI’s Koe.
“In another recent EC launch, there were 240
e-applications, but on the first weekend, only
24 units were sold. The number of agents in-
volved in the launch was at least 500,” he says.
ProjectsWhile SRI may not want to be the agents in-
volved in the first cut of new launches, the firm
relishes securing the sale of balance units in
the later phase. Since its inception, the real es-
tate agency has secured a handful of appoint-
ments from developers. These include Vue 8
Residences, a 463-unit private condo in Pasir
Ris by Capital Development and ZACD Invest-
ment. As at end-June, 341 units had been sold
at a median price of $959 psf. The developer
has appointed SRI to handle the sales of the
balance units.
Another project is an 11-storey commer-
cial development called Tai Seng Point at Ir-
ving Place, next to the Tai Seng MRT station.
The freehold project contains 47 strata units,
of which the 22 industrial units are fully sold.
Another 17 shop units and seven F&B units
are still available for sale. The developer is
SingHomes, a subsidiary of foundation and
geotechnical engineering firm CSC Holdings.
Another development where SRI has been
appointed an exclusive agent is One18 Resi-
dences in Phnom Penh by ASX-listed property
developer Kingsland Global. Thirty per cent
of the units in the development have already
been sold.
On Stevens Road in Singapore, The Pines, a
redevelopment of The Pines Country Club by
Singapore-listed property group Oxley Hold-
ings, will see the opening of two hotels by Ac-
corGroup: Ibis and Novotel. Oxley is leasing
out its retail and F&B space in the project, and
SRI is one of the leasing agents.
Koe sees opportunity to create a property
management arm as an extension of SRI’s
business. This will include private condo man-
agement under the Management Corpora tion
Strata Title (MCST), commercial and industrial
buildings. “Currently, property management
is still very old school,” he says. “We believe
develop ing technology applications for real
estate is something that will really elevate
the industry.”

EP10 • THEEDGE SINGAPORE | AUGUST 8, 2016
| BY TAN CHEE YUEN |
Since Victoria Park Villas previewed on
July 16, at least four semi-detached
houses have been sold at prices ranging
from $4.39 million to $4.9 million, ac-
cording to caveats lodged over the week
of July 19 to 26. The 99-year leasehold landed
housing project by CapitaLand comprises 106
semi-detached houses and three bungalows.
The project is scheduled for completion in
early 2018.
The semi-detached houses at Victoria Park
Villas are priced from $4.3 million, or about
$2,000 psf. According to marketing agents,
CapitaLand is currently offering an early-bird dis-
count of 12%, with an additional 3% for those
who live within the same district; an education
discount for families whose children are study-
ing in nearby schools; an upgrader discount for
those making the transition from non-landed
to landed housing; a loyalty discount for those
who currently own a residential property de-
veloped by CapitaLand in Singapore; a multi-
purchase discount for those who buy more
than one unit; and a multi-family discount for
families who purchase two or more units. The
total discount granted will be capped at 15%.
Most of the purchasers at Victoria Park Vil-
las are said to be Singaporeans, who are either
buying for their own use or for their children,
say agents.
“$4.3 million is a great entry price for a
new house in a desirable, prime District 10
location such as Coronation Road and Victoria
Park Road,” says Grace Ng, deputy managing
director of Colliers International.
Nearby on Coronation Road West, a free-
hold semi-detached house changed hands for
$6 million last month. The property sits on a
land area of 4,510 sq ft, which translates to a
land price of $1,330 psf. However, the new own-
er would need to spend another $1.2 million to
$1.5 million to tear it down and rebuild a new
2½-storey house with a basement and attic, Ng
reckons. “Victoria Park Villas therefore appeals
to people who want a new property that they
can move into immediately as they find it too
troublesome to fix up an old house,” she says.
CapitaLand purchased the 403,012 sq ft,
99-year leasehold site bounded by Coronation
Road and Victoria Park Road for $366 million
in June 2013. This translated to a land price
of $908 psf per plot ratio. Assuming construc-
tion cost of about $300 to $400 psf, the break-
even price for Victoria Park Villas is estimat-
ed to be about $1,400 to $1,500 psf, Ng says.
The houses at Victoria Park Villas are said
to have built-up areas from 4,155 sq ft and fea-
ture contemporary architecture. Each house
contains four levels, including basement and
attic, five bedrooms, a private lift, fully fitted
kitchens and bathrooms. The houses come
equipped with biometric digital door lock and
home automation features that enable the
home owners to control air conditioning and
lighting remotely.
According to Ng, the last time a leasehold
landed housing development was launched in
the prime District 10 neighbourhood was two
decades ago. It was Kingsville, a 106-unit semi-
detached housing project on King’s Drive, by
developer Tuan Sing Holdings. The project has
a 102-year lease with effect from 1996. It was
launched for sale in March 1997 and completed
in 1999. The project is sought after by families
as it is adjacent to Nanyang Primary School.
The semi-detached houses at Kingsville
also contain five bedrooms, with built-up
areas ranging from 2,800 to 3,400 sq ft. The
land area of the units is from 2,325 to 3,843 sq
ft. In 1997, units were sold at prices ranging
from $1.99 million ($855 psf) to $2.75 million
($808 psf), according to caveats lodged then.
The latest transaction at Kingsville was for
a semi-detached house sitting on a land area
of 2,756 sq ft that changed hands for $3.85
million ($1,395 psf) in May. The 17-year old
house is sitting on a site that has 82 years left
on its lease, says Ng.

THEEDGE SINGAPORE | AUGUST 8, 2016 • EP13
| BY ESTHER HOON |
Another seller at Orchard Scotts in-
curred a hefty loss despite having
held the unit for nearly eight years.
The loss, which amounted to $1.6
million, accrued to a 1,647 sq ft unit
that was purchased in August 2008 at $2,438
psf. The unit changed hands at $1,438 psf on
July 22, which was 40% below its purchase
price, reflecting an annualised loss of 6%.
In June, a 2,282 sq ft unit on the ninth floor
was sold at a $2.4 million loss. All the resale
transactions in the project since 2H2014 have
been unprofitable. Orchard Scotts is a 99-year
leasehold condominium in District 9 that was
completed in 2008.
Separately, a 2,680 sq ft unit at Marina
Bay Suites, a 99-year leasehold condo in Dis-
trict 1, was sold at a loss of $1 million after a
six-year holding period. The seller purchased
the unit at $2,623 psf from the developer in
December 2009 and resold it at $2,239 psf
on July 26. In January, another 2,680 sq ft
unit on the eighth floor was sold at a loss of
$1.8 million.
The most profitable non-landed home sold
in the week of July 19 to 26 was a 2,271 sq ft
unit at Sky@Eleven. The unit fetched a profit
of $1.1 million, or an annualised gain of 4%,
after being held for nine years. The seller pur-
chased the unit in a sub-sale in April 2007 at
$1,110 psf and resold it at $1,585 psf. Sky@
Eleven is a freehold condo on Thomson Lane
in prime District 11. The 273-unit develop-
ment was completed in 2010. Of the five units
sold at the condo this year, four fetched lucra-
tive profits exceeding $800,000 each. The four
units were purchased in 2007 and 2009. The
unprofitable transaction was traced to a unit
that was bought in 2011.
In the same week, two detached houses
fetched a profit exceeding $4 million each for
the sellers. The bigger profit of $4.7 million ac-
crued to a house on Jalan Ampang in prime
District 10 that sits on a 7,858 sq ft freehold
site. The property was purchased in December
2009 at $1,056 psf on land area and resold at
$1,654 psf, reflecting an annualised gain of 7%.
The smaller profit of $4.6 million accrued
to a house on Mugliston Road in District 15.
The property, which sits on a 5,974 sq ft free-
hold site, was purchased in December 2004
at $303 psf on land area and resold at $1,071
psf. The annualised gain works out to 11%.
The profits do not take into account any
construction cost or enhancements done to
the property.
Meanwhile, three strata houses were sold
at losses ranging from $180,000 to $450,000
in the week of July 19 to 26. The top loss of
$450,000 was traced to a 3,800 sq ft semi-de-
tached house on Jalan Emas Urai in District
23. The house, which sits on a 999-year lease-
hold site, was purchased in December 2007 at
$724 psf and resold at $605 psf.
On Tagore Avenue in District 26, a 3,165 sq
ft strata house was sold at a loss of $232,888.
The 99-year leasehold semi-detached house
was bought at $683 psf in January 2011 and
resold at $610 psf.
The third unprofitable deal was for a free-
hold, 4,650 sq ft strata semi-detached house
on Jalan Lim Tai See in District 10. The seller
took in a loss of $181,000, having purchased
the property in September 2008 at $706 psf
and resold it at $667 psf.
