Sentosa Cove site For Sale

Sentosa Cove site For Sale

THE few remaining land parcels in the upmarket waterfront housing district coming up on Sentosa island are still being sold by Sentosa Cove Pte Ltd (SCPL).

The developer's latest offering is a 71,589 sq ft site slated for development into 15 to 20 strata landed homes (terrace houses, semi-detached homes or bungalows) with shared facilities like a swimming pool or gymnasium. The reserve price has been set at $49.25 million or $688 psf per plot ratio (ppr), SCPL said.

Credo Real Estate managing director Karamjit Singh reckons the 99-year leasehold site could fetch around $70-80 million, reflecting a land price of about $980 to $1,120 psf ppr.

The plot, being offered by an expression of interest exercise, has a 1.0 plot ratio, hence the maximum gross floor area allowed is the same as the land area.

'To optimise the usage of the site, the successful developer will most likely develop strata bungalows,' Mr Singh reckons.

SCPL said the expression of interest exercise closes on Aug15 and the award will be based solely on price.

'Foreigners will be eligible to purchase these strata landed homes as Sentosa Cove has been granted waivers for foreign ownership on residential land,' SCPL said.

SCPL has sold land for about 80 per cent of the total 2,500 homes planned for Sentosa Cove, and more than 120 families have moved into their new homes in the location.
