The a measure rate has to do with $1,424 psf per plot ratio (ppr). After considering the 7% extra gross flooring location for balconies, the land price eventually becomes $1,331 psf ppr. “Because of its substantial historical baseline, the land betterment cost is not due for redeveloping the location,” claims ERA.
“Given the recent exceptional profit outcomes of Piccadilly Grand, strong demand for all new non commercial units in the location will most likely proceed as there are no upcoming new release in the pipeline. An edge for this sale is that it does not require the Strata Titles Boards’ approval, thus allowing the effective customer to promptly transform the site around in order to introduce the updated project up for sale,” says Tay.
The location’s appearance is boosted because of the excellent start of nearby Piccadilly Grand. The 99-year leasehold integrated property development is a common property development among City Developments (CDL) and MCL Land. The 407-unit project was launched in May this year, offering 77% of the overall available units moreover achieving a common market price of $2,150 psf.

“This location is perfect for developers keen to develop a store domestic property located in a peaceful non commercial enclave, yet just mins away from the buzz of activities and even a wide variety of features,” claims Tay Liam Hiap, handling director of investment sales at ERA Realty.
