Holland Drive, Upper Bukit Timah reserve list sites put up for offer
16 Nov 2023
TWO residential sites in Holland Drive and Upper Bukit Timah are now available for application, the Urban Redevelopment Authority said on Thursday (Nov 16).
The 99-year leasehold sites can yield more than 1,000 private housing units in total and have been released under the Government Land Sales (GLS) programme’s reserve list for the second half of 2023.
The Holland Drive site is next to the One Holland Village mixed development, which drew 15 bids when it was put up for sale, noted PropNex Realty head of research and content Wong Siew Ying.
That site was awarded for about S$1.21 billion to a consortium comprising Far East Organization : 5TJ 0%, Sekisui House and Sino Group. This translates to a land rate of S$1,888 psf ppr.
As at August this year, all units in One Holland Village Residences have been sold at an average price of S$2,764 psf based on URA caveat data, Wong said.
However, the large site, with more than 600,000 sq ft GFA, will potentially translate into bids above S$1 billion, said Lee Sze Teck, Huttons’ senior director of data analytics. He said: “This huge quantum may put off bidders unless they are consortiums.”

Consortium led by UOL, CapitaLand places top bid of S$805.39 million for Holland Drive site
Top bid works out to S$1,285 psf ppr, below market expectations, reflecting developers’ continuing risk aversion for large, prime residential sites
14 May 2024
A PLUM, 99-year leasehold private housing site in Singapore near Holland Village MRT station drew three bids at a state tender on Tuesday (May 14). However, they were below market expectations as developers continue to be cautious about large, prime sites.
The top bid, from a consortium led by UOL Group and CapitaLand Development, was S$805.39 million, or about S$1,285 per square foot per plot ratio (psf ppr).
This is lower than the S$1,350 psf ppr to S$1,500 psf ppr that analysts polled by The Business Times on Monday had forecast generally for the top bid for the site, which can yield about 680 private homes. They had predicted one to five bids for the site.
