MCL Land has emerged as the top bidder for Nob Hill Condominium and two adjoining bungalows on Ewe Boon Road, at a price of $95 million or $1,100 per square foot of potential gross floor area, including an estimated $17 million development charge, according to industry sources.

The properties, located at a cul-de-sac, have a combined freehold land area of 63,572 sq ft. They are zoned for residential use with a 1.6 plot ratio (ratio of maximum potential gross floor area to land area) and a 12-storey height limit. The plot can be redeveloped into a new project with about 65 units averaging 1,500 sq ft. The tender for the properties closed last week. It was handled by Credo Real Estate, which has declined to confirm the outcome of the tender.

Other recent benchmarks in the area include Eden Spring at Balmoral Road sold at $1,004 psf per plot ratio last month to TG Development, and One Balmoral, sold to Hong Leong Group in March for $1,188 psf ppr.

In its news release last month when launching Nob Hill Condominium and the two adjoining bungalows, Credo had said that since the condo belongs to an investment company, no Strata Titles Board application is necessary.

On the stock market yesterday, MCL ended two cents higher at $2.82.
