Pine Grove condominium is set to be relaunched for collective sale<\/a> at $1.95 billion on March 6, as the collective sale<\/a>\u00a0committee (CSC) was unable to secure the 80% mandate required to reduce the reserve price to $1.78 billion.<\/p>\n

The tender deadline is May 6, 2024, at 3 pm, with ongoing efforts to attain the mandate for the lower reserve<\/a> price by the closing date, as disclosed by ERA<\/a> Realty Network\u2019s managing director of investment sales, Mr. Tay Liam Hiap, to The Straits Times.<\/p>\n

As of March 3, more than 62% of Pine Grove homeowners, who hold a remaining lease term of 59 years, have agreed to the lower reserve price. Notably, inquiries from several developers were received in February after over 60% of the 660-unit condominium’s owners endorsed a supplemental agreement to decrease the reserve price to $1.78 billion.<\/p>\n

At the revised $1.78 billion price, the land rate calculates to $1,341 per sq ft per plot ratio (psf ppr), factoring in a 10% bonus gross floor area, an estimated land betterment charge (LBC) of $987 million for intensification, and a lease upgrade to a fresh 99-year term.<\/p>\n

Pine Grove<\/a> homeowners initiated the supplemental agreement process during an extraordinary general meeting on Jan 21. ERA<\/a> Realty’s Jan 18 letter to owners justified the $1.78 billion valuation as “fair” based on Premas, a unit of Cushman & Wakefield, assessing the full potential of redeveloping the 893,218 sq ft site into a 2,050-unit development.<\/p>\n

At the higher $1.95 billion price, the land rate is $1,440 psf ppr, considering an additional 10% bonus gross floor area under various incentive schemes, and an estimated LBC of $1.02 billion for intensification along with a lease upgrade to a new 99-year term.<\/p>\n

ERA<\/a> CEO Marcus Chu highlighted the strong willingness of owners to sell through this collective sale<\/a>\u00a0attempt, as indicated by their support for the supplemental agreement. Additionally, he mentioned the positive impact of the recently revised additional buyer\u2019s stamp duty (ABSD<\/a>) remission clawback for large collective sale<\/a>\u00a0sites like Pine Grove<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In light of policy adjustments, more residential projects are attempting collective sale<\/a>\u00a0at reduced prices. Thomson View condominium, for instance, was listed for collective sale<\/a>\u00a0at a lower reserve price of $918 million in late February. Similarly, Island View<\/a> in Pasir Panjang<\/a> was relaunched for sale on March 5 at $575 million, with a potential reduction to $532 million based on the consent of 60% of owners and ongoing efforts to secure the 80% mandate for the lower price by the condo\u2019s CSC.<\/p>\n
