City Developments wins bid for Sengkang EC site with $135m

It's only 0.1% above the second highest bid.

According to OCBC, City Developments Limited put in the top bid of S$135m (S$296 psf) for an EC site at Sengkang West Way/Fernvale Link. The tender attracted a total of six bidders and CDL’s bid was only 0.1% above the second highest bid.

Here's more from OCBC:

This site, with a total GFA of 455k sf, is located near Layar LRT station, Fernvale Point and the upcoming Seletar Mall, and the development is expected to consist ~380 units.

We estimate breakeven and selling ASPs at S$S$600 psf and S$720 psf, respectively; the latter generally in line with price levels at comparable projects, such as Twin Waterfalls and Riverparc Residence, over the first three quarters of FY13.

We expect this acquisition to accrete 1.5 S-cents to RNAV but leave our fair value estimate unchanged at S$13.10 (15% RNAV disc.) pending approval of this acquisition.
