A recent announcement states that Meinhardt, a Singapore-based engineering consulting firm, has entered into a partnership with Japan Overseas Infrastructure Investment Corporation for Transport and Urban Development (JOIN). This agreement aims to bring together their expertise in digital and smart city projects for third-world Asean countries.

Through this memorandum of understanding, the two parties seek to promote innovative and sustainable urban solutions by sharing knowledge and resources. JOIN, a Japanese public-private fund focused on supporting infrastructure export projects, will leverage its network and expertise in this collaboration. Meinhardt, a leader in integrated planning, design and project management solutions, will also contribute their experience to the partnership.

By joining forces, Meinhardt and JOIN hope to capitalize on the MOC framework and establish a platform for information sharing, identifying synergies, and collaborating on projects across borders. This will allow them to drive significant impact in the development of digital and smart cities, aiding in the growth and progress of third-world Asean countries.…

Minister for National Development Desmond Lee has announced the completion of the last two previously delayed housing projects from HDB in a press release dated January 20.

The two Build-to-Order (BTO) projects, Punggol Point Cove (Phase 2) and Kempas Residences, signify the successful completion of HDB’s pandemic-delayed housing projects. In total, these 92 projects have provided more than 75,800 new flats to the people of Singapore in the last five years.

In 2024, HDB delivered 22 housing projects, out of which 17 were delayed due to the pandemic. The remaining four projects were finished on schedule, except for one that was postponed due to non-pandemic reasons.

These 22 projects included two Shorter Waiting Time (SWT) projects that were completed within a waiting period of less than three years. These SWT projects, namely Parc Glen at Tengah and Grove Spring at Yishun, consisted of a total of 1,995 flats. The rest of the projects had waiting durations of up to five years. Overall, HDB completed more than 18,000 flats in 2024.

Flat owners of Punggol Point Cove (Phase 2) have been receiving the keys to their new homes since November 2024, while key collection for Kempas Residences began in mid-January this year. HDB is expected to inform the remaining flat owners of their key collection date soon, after completing the final blocks in both projects this month.

Punggol Point Cove (Phase 2) is situated along New Punggol Road and comprises 1,179 units of two-room flexi, three-, four-, and five-room flats across six residential blocks. Due to the pandemic delays, the last block was completed 12 months after its original Probable Completion Date (PCD) earlier this month. As of January 15, 657 households, or 59% of the 1,109 booked units, have collected their keys.

According to HDB, the completion of Punggol Point Cove (Phase 2) marks the end of all flats in the Punggol Point District, including Punggol Point Cove (Phase 1), Punggol Point Woods, and Punggol Point Crown BTO projects, all of which were finished in 2024.

Kempas Residences BTO project has 583 units of two-room flexi, three-, and four-room flats across four residential blocks and is located between Serangoon Road, Lavender Street, and Boon Kheng Road. The final block, which was delayed by six months from its original PCD, was completed in mid-January. As of January 15, 37 households, or about 7% of the 555 booked units, have collected their keys.

Currently, HDB has 110 housing projects under construction, an increase from 95 a year ago, due to the rise in BTO supply in recent years. HDB is on track to complete approximately 17,000 flats across 27 projects in 2025. To explore HDB listings and compare HDB loans and bank loans, visit Ask Buddy.…

CDL Subsidiary Offers to Acquire Remaining Shares of MCK

In a strategic move, City Developments Limited (CDL) is making an offer to buy all the shares it does not already own in New Zealand-listed Millennium & Copthorne Hotels New Zealand Limited (MCK). The offer, valued at NZ$2.25 ($1.72) per share, is being made through CDL’s wholly-owned subsidiary, CDL Hotels Holdings New Zealand Limited (CDLHH NZ).

Upon completion of the offer, CDL intends to delist and privatize MCK, simplifying the ownership structure of the group’s New Zealand entities, according to a January 20 filing. MCK currently owns, leases, or has under franchise 18 hotels in New Zealand, as well as having a stake in CDL Investments New Zealand Limited and interests in properties in Australia through its Kingsgate Group subsidiaries.

As of January 17, CDLHH NZ held a 75.86% stake in MCK, representing 80.02 million shares out of 105.48 million in issue. If CDLHH NZ reaches the threshold to invoke compulsory acquisition provisions under the New Zealand takeovers code, it will acquire all outstanding shares in MCK. Alternatively, CDLHH NZ may choose to redeem non-voting redeemable preference shares issued by MCK.

While the non-voting redeemable preference shares are not part of the offer, CDLHH NZ has expressed its willingness to acquire them at a price of NZ$1.70 (approximately $1.30) per share. The purchase will be made through its broker, Craigs Investment Partners, on the Main Board of the New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX). As of January 17, CDLHH NZ held 91.34% (48.17 million shares) of MCK’s non-voting redeemable preference shares.

Assuming full acceptance by MCK’s shareholders, CDLHH NZ will pay a total of NZ$57.29 million for the offer. In addition, it expects to pay around NZ$7.77 million to acquire all redeemable preference shares. The offer price takes into account the prevailing and historical market price, as well as the industry and business environment in which MCK operates.

As of June 30, 2024, MCK recorded a net asset value (NAV) of NZ$532.02 million and a net tangible asset value (NTA) of the same amount for the 1HFY2024. The NAV and NTA attributable to MCK shares subject to the offer were NZ$85.62 million each as of June 30, 2024.

The offer is subject to conditions including CDLHH NZ receiving 90% or more of the voting rights in MCK by May 2. CDLHH NZ must also obtain consent under the Overseas Investment Act 2005 and the Overseas Investment Regulations 2005 of New Zealand to own and control all shares in MCK. The implementation and payment of the offer are not expected to have a material impact on CDL’s earnings per share (EPS) or net tangible assets (NTA) for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.…

During the week of December 27 to January 3, Commonwealth Towers emerged as the top private non-landed property to hit a new psf-price peak. The 99-year leasehold condo achieved its new record of $2,460 psf on December 27 with the sale of a 904 sq ft, three-bedroom unit on the 40th floor for $2.22 million. This surpasses its previous high of $2,402 psf, which was set just three months ago when a 689 sq ft, two-bedroom unit on the 42nd floor was sold for about $1.65 million in September 2024.

The average resale price for condo units at Commonwealth Towers has been on the rise over the past three years. In 2022, the project recorded 53 transactions at an average psf-price of $1,971. The following year, the average price increased to $2,097 psf across 51 resale transactions. Last year, the development saw 37 resale transactions at an average price of $2,200 psf. This marks an 11.6% increase in average resale prices since 2022.

The most expensive unit to change hands at Commonwealth Towers in terms of absolute price was a 1,302 sq ft, four-bedroom unit on the 39th floor for $2.96 million, or $2,273 psf. The transaction was recorded in November 2024.

Completed in 2017, Commonwealth Towers is a 99-year leasehold condo with about 87 years remaining on its tenure.

The units range from one- to four-bedroom apartments, spanning 441 sq ft to 1,302 sq ft.

Minister for National Development Desmond Lee and the Housing and Development Board (HDB) have announced plans to launch more than 25,000 new flats in 2025, according to a joint press release with the Ministry of National Development (MND) on January 16.

This includes approximately 19,600 build-to-order (BTO) flats across three sales exercises and over 5,500 sale of balance flats (SBF) in one SBF sale exercise. The units will be a mix of Standard, Plus, and Prime BTO flats under the new classification framework.

The February BTO launch will offer around 5,000 flats in Kallang/Whampoa, Queenstown, Woodlands, and Yishun.

Next month, HDB’s largest-ever Sale of Balance Flats (SBF) exercise will also take place, with over 5,500 flats available in various estates. Approximately 40% of the flats in the SBF exercise are completed units, while the rest are at different stages of construction and will be ready between 2025 and 2028.

In total, there will be more than 10,000 new flats available under the February BTO and SBF exercises.

Since 2021, HDB has launched about 82,700 BTO flats in the last four years from 2021 to 2024. With a planned pipeline of 19,600 BTO flats in 2025, HDB is on track to launch more than 102,300 BTO flats, exceeding its commitment of 100,000 units over five years.

The increase in BTO supply has resulted in a drop in application rates. In 2024, the average application rate for first-time homebuyers for BTO flats across all types was 2.1, compared to 3.7 in 2019 before the pandemic. The average first-timer application rate for three-bedroom and larger flats last year was 2.2, down from 4.0 in 2019.

Minister Lee has stated that HDB will continue to release “a steady pipeline of flats to meet housing demand in the next few years.” Over 50,000 flats will be launched between 2025 and 2027, bringing the total to about 130,000 flats from 2021 to 2027.

Approximately 3,800 of the 19,600 new flats, or about one-fifth of the BTO flats slated for launch in 2025, will be Shorter Waiting Time (SWT) flats with a waiting time of less than three years. This is an increase from the 2,876 SWT flats offered in 2024 and more than the annual committed supply of 2,000 to 3,000 SWT flats.

“The SWT flats will also provide more options for buyers and may attract some demand away from the resale market,” says Lee Sze Teck, senior director of data analytics at Huttons Asia.

In 2025, Lee estimates that about 7,000 HDB flats will reach their five-year minimum occupation period (MOP), making it the lowest supply of resale flats since 2015. “With HDB assuring buyers that they will push out more BTO and SBF flats to meet demand, this will offer more choices for buyers and stabilize the resale market,” he says. “This larger flat supply and SWT flats will address the shortfall in MOP flats.”

Lee from Huttons estimates that HDB resale flat transactions in 2025 will range between 26,000 and 28,000, lower than the 28,876 units recorded last year. Resale flat prices are expected to grow at a slower pace of 5% to 8% this year compared to the 9.6% increase reported in HDB’s flash estimate for 2024.

The sale of an impressive three-bedroom penthouse at Orchid Mansion located in District 15 along Amber Road on Dec 31 yielded a whopping profit of $2.58 million, making it the most profitable resale transaction in the week from Dec 31, 2024, to Jan 7, 2025. The sale of the 2,842 sq ft unit on the 21st floor, which is part of Orchid Mansion’s freehold development, took place at a selling price of $4.88 million, translating to a staggering $1,717 psf. This marks a significant increase from its previous purchase price of $2.3 million ($809 psf) in March 2009, resulting in an annualized profit of 4.9% over a span of 16 years.

The sale at Orchid Mansion also sets a new record as the most profitable resale transaction at the development, surpassing the previous highest profit of $1.15 million (72.6%) in July 2022. This was achieved when a three-bedroom unit on the seventh floor measuring 1,507 sq ft changed hands for $2.73 million ($1,812 psf) in July 2022. This unit was previously purchased for $1.58 million ($1,050 psf) in June 2007.

In a separate development, the second most profitable resale transaction during the period occurred at Villa Marina, when a three-bedroom unit measuring 1,625 sq ft was sold for $2.35 million ($1,446 psf) on Jan 3. This translates to a profit of $1.72 million (273%), as the unit was previously acquired for $630,500 ($388 psf) in September 2006, resulting in an annualised profit of 7.6% over 18 years.

This transaction also broke the previous profit record at Villa Marina, which was attained when a four-bedroom unit measuring 1,916 sq ft was sold for $2.3 million ($1,200 psf) on July 16 last year. This unit was previously purchased for $720,416 ($376 psf) back in November 1998, resulting in a profit of $1.58 million (219%).

Villa Marina is a 99-year leasehold development located at 25 Jalan Sempadan in District 15. It comprises a total of 27 low-rise residential blocks with 432 units, including one- to four-bedroom units measuring between 1,087 sq ft to 2,314 sq ft. The freehold Orchid Mansion, on the other hand, is a 20-year-old condo development located at 11 Amber Road in District 15. It offers a mix of two- and three-bedroom units measuring between 1,346 sq ft and 2,002 sq ft, as well as two penthouses of 2,842 sq ft and 2,734 sq ft each.

Meanwhile, the most unprofitable resale transaction of the week involves a 1,130 sq ft unit at Marina Bay Residences. Sold on Jan 2 for $2.1 million ($1,858 psf), the two-bedroom unit on the 17th floor inflicted a loss of $386,000 (16%) on the seller, who had originally purchased the unit for $2.49 million ($2,200 psf) in November 2007. This translates to an annualized loss of 1% over a span of 17 years.

Marina Bay Residences recorded a total of 25 resale transactions in 2024, with 13 of them resulting in losses ranging from $43,600 to $1.25 million. The most unprofitable resale transaction at the development took place on March 22, 2024, when a 1,227 sq ft unit was sold for $2.8 million ($2,282 psf).

Based on data from resale caveats at Marina Bay Residences, the average selling price at the condo last month was $2,242 psf. This is higher than the average price at nearby condos such as The Sail @ Marina Bay ($2,052 psf), Marina Bay Suites ($1,917 psf) and Marina One Residences ($2,133 psf).

Marina Bay Residences is a 99-year leasehold development located at 18 Marina Boulevard and was completed in 2023.
