Duo Residences – A Highly Sought-After Dream Project in Singapore

Duo Residences / DUO 双景岭- A S$3B initiative that’s owned jointly by Singapore’s Temasek Holdings and Khazanah Nasional of Malaysia, is a mixed development project that is set to dramatically enhance the skyline over Bugis by 2017. Although called Duo, this ambitious development will host a trio of space, including retail, hotel and of course residences.

A vision of famed German architect and designer Buro Ole Scheeren, where most of its neighbors try hard to stand out, Duo Residences have been deliberately and perfectly designed to fit into Singapore’s ever evolving landscape. Instead of encroaching on the street, Scheeren’s design gently flows along the curve of the street, ensuring existing civic amenities and public utilities remain untouched. The towers of Duo Residences are well stacked and adequately spaced, offering observation platforms and elevated decks for office occupants and residential dwellers alike to enjoy a beautiful sky view.

 Duo Residences housed in a park-like enclosure that features a real park, courtyards and tropical gardens, this piece of Paradise will have 660 residential units, Grade A office space spread over 21 stories, a 5-star hotel, and retail space spread on almost 80,000 Sq feet.

Ideally situated in Centralise City Fringe, Duo residents and office workers will have only a few minutes’ walk for MRT access. The location is a driver’s dream come true as well, offering convenient access to popular expressways like ECP, KPE and the PIE, and just a short drive from shopping paradises like Suntec City for access to iconic stores like H&M, Gap, Uniqlo, Guess, Cotton On, Celio, Adidas, Levis, Giordano, Lush, and scores of other household names. And if you are in the mood to roll the dice, just head on to the nearby Integrated Resort.

Riverbank at Fernvale Close / Sengkang West Way site attracts strong interest

A 99-YEAR leasehold private residential, Riverbank Condo land parcel at Sengkang West Way drew a top bid of $262.1 million, or about $488.84 per sq ft per plot ratio (psf ppr).

The site was launched under the Government Land Sales programme by the Housing Board (HDB) on Feb 28.

UOL Group unit Secure Development made the highest bid for the approximately 179,900 sq ft site, which has a maximum gross plot ratio of 3.0.

The site's maximum gross floor area is just over 536,000 sq ft. The top bid slightly exceeded analysts' earlier expectations, which were in the range of $400-450 psf ppr.

Ong Teck Hui, national director of research and consultancy at Jones Lang LaSalle, said: "It shows that developers are confident of demand for mass-market homes being sustained following the cooling measures imposed in January."

Nicholas Mak, executive director of research and consultancy at SLP International, added that sites such as Sengkang West Way with water views are generally popular with developers and homeowners.

UOL's bid was 3.4 per cent higher than the next highest bid by Bayfront Land, a joint venture between Aspial Corporation and Fragrance Group Ltd.

They bid $253.6 million for the site, which translates to $472.89 psf ppr.

Bids also came in, in descending order, from a joint venture - between Frasers Centrepoint's FCL Topaz, Far East Organisation and Sekisui House - and Qingjian Realty, among others. CapitaLand's Athens Residential Development submitted the lowest bid, at $111 million or $207.01 psf ppr.

The sale drew a total of eight bids, in line with the more optimistic expectations of analysts.

Desmond Sim, associate director at CBRE Research, said the healthy response to the sale pointed to developers' "need to replenish their respective land banks".

UOL president Liam Wee Sin said the developer planned to build a 20-storey development comprising around 600 units on the plot, hoping to "tap the upgrader demand in the north and north-east of Singapore".

Analysts estimate a break-even price of around $900 psf for the site, and expect UOL to launch the project at $1,000-1,100 psf.

Sungei Punggol, Sengkang Sports and Recreation Centre and Sengkang Riverside Park are located near the site.

Also in the vicinity are several other residential developments, including executive condominium (EC) H20 Residences and another upcoming EC site, both developed by City Developments.

H20 Residences was launched in March 2011 and is selling at around $950 psf.

Mr Ong said the Sengkang West area was "generally less crowded in terms of competition".

The 99-year site has a land area of 178.7k sq ft and is located near the future Seletar Mall and Sengkang Riverside Park.
The maximum GFA allowed is 536.2k sq ft, which can yield around 550 homes. UOL’s bid translates into a psf price of S$489 psf, which we believe is reasonable. We expect breakeven and selling ASPs at S$900 psf and S$1,000 psf, respectively, which translates into an estimated RNAV accretion of 5.5 Scents per share.
