Market Chatter: Bidding for State Land Plot in River Valley Remains Muted

MT Newswires06-21

Bidding for a state land plot in the River Valley district remained muted after it received only two bids which fell short of market expectations, according to a report by the Business Times on Thursday.

Winchamp Investment, a subsidiary of Wing Tai Holdings, submitted a bid of around $464 million for the Green Parcel A with a potential yield of 380 private homes. The second bid was around $444.9 million from Hong Realty, a subsidiary of Hong Leong Group.

No bids were received for the Upper Thomson Road Parcel A which was launched in Dec. 2023. This is the first time in 20 years that a land parcel from a Government Land Sales site has not received any bid, according to CBRE.

Uncertainty over leasing demand for serviced apartments has been attributed as one of the reasons behind muted bidding activity.
