Lentor Central GLS site receives two bids, highest bid at $982 psf ppr
ERA Singapore’s Lim comments that the Lentor Central site falls throughout the Ang Mo Kio Planning Area and also near to Lentor MRT station plus established colleges, for example, CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls’ School, Anderson Primary School and Presbyterian Secondary School.
Knight Frank Singapore’s Tay says that the likely selling price for the residential units of this project can begin from above $2,000 psf, comparable to the $2,080 psf unit rate of Lentor Hills Residences that launched in July.
“The two bids for the Lentor Central plot reflect the significantly unconfirmed and also protective sentiment amongst developers, as well as the truth that the Lentor part could have a lot of apartment projects, all of being developed in just a few years of each other,” states Tay.
Additionally, several developers might be much more cautious as there are macroeconomic worries, increased rates of interest, as well as moderating actions, states Justin Quek, deputy president of OrangeTee & Tie.
Eugene Lim, major director at ERA Singapore, notes that there has actually been “a dilution in demand” for Lentor Central due to the high number of areas to be launched under the 2nd half 2023 GLS program.
