Reflections at Keppel Bay
When it comes to an ideal investment haven, Singapore has a compelling story. Renowned globally as a thriving business and financial centre, Singapore offers world class infrastructure, political stability and a pro-business environment. In fact, Singapore is consistently voted as one of the world's top business city and one of the best places to live in Asia. Singapore is a truly cosmopolitan city with endless lifestyle options. It is an ideal platform for the meeting of minds, for business and pleasure.
At the forefront of Singapore's dynamic future is the dramatic transformation of the southern waterfront hub which includes Keppel Bay, the multi-million integrated Sentosa Resort and possibly a premier resort in the southern island. Over the next few years, this waterfront will come alive as one of the nation's most ambitious and exciting precinct. Minutes from the central business district and Singapore's much awaited integrated resort, it is the most highly sought after address in town. Here, Asia's new icon for premier waterfront living will arise - Reflections at Keppel Bay, the first cutting edge waterfront residences designed by world celebrated architect, Daniel Libeskind, the genius behind the master planning of the world trade centre site and the award winning Jewish musuem in Berlin. Libeskind's living art not only commands worldwide recognition but it accelerates market demand and transforms community.
Now, with his first residential showcase in Asia, Libeskind is creating one of the most distinctive masterpieces at Keppel Bay, Singapore. A symphony of 6 glass towers and 11 villa apartment blocks, along a spectacular 750 metre shoreline, Reflections at Keppel Bay will redefine waterfront living in Asia. A first of its kind, the high rise towers are crown of lush sky garden and link by futuristic sky bridges. They provide platform for breathtaking views of the sea, golf courses and Mount Faber. The grounds of Reflections at Keppel Bay are no less majestic with a 100,000 square foot reflecting pool, spectacular waterfront clubhouse, olympic length swimming pool, gymnasium, jacuzzi, lap pool and tennis courts. With spacioius two, three and four bedroom apartments, and luxury penthouses, every unit at Reflections at Keppel Bay is a statement in sophistication and exemplary taste. Living in Asia's most exciting new development means having the best of Singapore at your door step.
Just minutes away from Reflections at Keppel Bay, Singapore's famous island resort of Sentosa is a 390 hectare recreational and entertainment hub. Presenting a kaleidoscope of attractions and activities, Sentosa is a tropical resort, nature park, golfer's paradise and the home of Singapore's Integrated Resort and Universal Studio Theme Park. Right next door to Reflections at Keppel Bay is Vivocity, Singapore's largest multi-experiential retail and lifestyle destination, with 300 outlets spread over a million square feet of space. Opened in December 2007, the much anticipated Marina at Keppel Bay will host mega-yachts up to 200 feet, a waterfront playground for those who deserve the finer things in life. Reflections at Keppel Bay has put Singapore on the world map as a premier destination for waterfront living.
Reflections at Keppel Bay, the difference between living in an apartment and living in an icon!

Kovan Residences
Nestled in Kovan’s heartland, Kovan Residences differentiates itself by being a transition between suburban living in an eco-luxurious development that comes complete with an extensive array of facilities and amenities. The winning attribute of Kovan Residences – a moderately large development of 7 blocks of 16 storey apartments – is its proximity to Kovan MRT station which is mere seconds away at its doorstep.
Choose from a selection of the best schools in the vicinity of Kovan Residences, including Maris Stella and Rosyth, for your kids. And satisfy your taste buds and fashion palate with treats from choice retail therapies to modern cuisines and traditional dishes. Dig in to tasty favourites like 'Teochew Bak Chor mee' or shop for the latest trends when you prefer. And with Nexx that's just a stop away at Serangoon MRT station, vibrant and innovative lifestyles will be introduced in the heart of heritage and tradition.
Concept of design was derived from an organic shape of a leaf which signifies freshness, a green environment. Besides the usual offerings of amenities, Kovan Residences has in addition two tennis courts, an outdoor cafe and a public accessible mini-mart. Residents of Kovan Residences can enjoy the tranquillity of outdoors right outside their units as lush greenery is landscaped at the linear park.
In line with the eco-theme, the tower blocks of Kovan Residences are oriented to capture and maximize views of the garden from the units. Green foliages are sliced between the MRT station and the development peripherals which conveniently double up as a buffer wall at the same time, adding aesthetic benefits.
Rising 16 storeys high, the residential blocks of Kovan Residences are designed to form a building edge along the central axis landscape corridor and become the backdrop from the garden. Energy consumption is dramatically reduced by strategically orienting the residential blocks towards Northwest-Southwest exposure. In this way, natural light is flushed into individual units as well as creating opportunities for residents to take advantage of natural ventilation.
All units of Kovan Residences are incorporated with balconies, which are ideal for cultivating plants as well as enjoying panoramic views. The views are further enhanced as the living and dining areas are fitted with full height floor to ceiling windows.
Set in the heart of a historic neighbourhood, where classic tiffin carriers and wooden clogs once graced a past that now brims with an eclectic mix of modernity and surprise, this remarkable estate delivers your preference on a prestigious platter. Taste life's many pleasures at Kovan Residences!

The Rochester Mall will be 100,000 sq ft and the business hotel, called Park Avenue Suites @ The Rochester, will have 350 rooms.

Sold Out In 3 Days
Aug 04, 2009
The Straits Times
SINGAPORE may still be mired in recession, but tell that to the home hunters who are flocking to the latest launches.
In the east, a new 297-unit condominium development on the doorstep of Tanah Merah MRT station completely sold out in the three days that followed its preview last Thursday.
Units at Optima went for an average price of around $810 per sq ft, or from $470,000 to $2.06million per unit.Demand remained strong even after developer TID - a joint venture between Hong Leong Group and Mitsui Fudosan - raised prices by 5per cent, from $790 psf on Thursday to $830 psf by Friday.
Keen buyers were already seen queueing days before the launch of the 99-year leasehold condominium.And TID had to conduct a ballot of 120 units for 300 buyers just before midnight on Thursday to prevent them having to camp out overnight for the public launch the next day.
Buyers were a good mix of HDB upgraders and investors, said the Hong Leong Group spokesman.
City Developments has now put on fast track the launch of its 396-unit project at the former Hong Leong Garden condominium site. Over in Ang Mo Kio, another new suburban launch has attracted relatively strong demand, though some price resistance may have settled in over the weekend.
The 329-unit Centro Residences has sold 93 out of the 144 units that were released for sale last week.Most of the units sold were two- to three-bedders. The smallest two-bedders have been sold, leaving those from 872sqft and above, and priced from $1million.
Far East Organization said yesterday that 50per cent of the buyers are HDB upgraders from nearby towns, while the rest are residents from private estates.Prices at the 99-year leasehold condominium started from $1,100 psf - a price level more typical of city-fringe or prime projects, property watchers observed.
'Such prices can get you a freehold condo in Upper Bukit Timah,' said Mr Nicholas Mak, a former property consultant. 'Buyers should be a bit more rational. Demand at such price levels shows that some buyers may be getting carried away by the current euphoria.
'If they are hoping for capital appreciation, they must ask themselves who is going to buy from them at an even higher price when a three-bedroom unit in a suburban project is usually priced less than $1,000 psf,' he added.
Elsewhere, some other fairly new launches continued to attract buyers, but at a much slower pace.
Waterfront Key in Bedok Reservoir sold another eight units at an average price of $735 psf, bringing total sales to 193 out of 278 released units.At the 329-unit The Gale in Flora Road, sales remained around the 90per cent level cited late last week.

Strong sales for new condo launches
30 June 09
The Straits Times
STRONG sales in the property market continued over the weekend as mass- and upper-mid- market launches drew crowds of buyers.
Within three days of its preview launch last Friday, the 68-unit Residences @ Killiney project sold 39 of 60 released units - with sales ongoing, a spokesman for developer Hoi Hup Realty said yesterday.
Preview prices at the Killiney Road condominium ranged from $1,700 per sq ft (psf) to $2,000 psf.
Opposite the condo at Devonshire Road, Allgreen Properties' One Devonshire has sold more than 95 per cent of its 36-storey, 152-unit freehold condo since its launch about two weeks ago.
In the Thomson Road area, Far East Organization sold 84 per cent - or 74 homes - of an initial batch of 88 units at a private preview of its Vista Residences over the weekend.
The 280-unit freehold project offers a range of accommodation from one bedroom to penthouse units starting from $960 psf.Far East will release another 45 units tomorrow - its official launch date - said Mr Chia Boon Kuah, chief operating officer of the firm's property arm.
HSR Property Group executive director Eric Cheng noted that the buying activity - which started in mass-market new condo launches - seems to have moved into the higher market segments.
'This is undoubtedly due to the stock market rally, more positive sentiment, and is enabled by the interest absorption scheme,' he said. The scheme allows buyers to pay a deposit and postpone monthly home loan payments until the project is completed. 'This is attracting the investors to come out in droves,' he added.
In the mass market, sales continued with Frasers Centrepoint announcing yesterday that its two projects, 8@Woodleigh and Woodsville 28, were sold out.All 330 units at 8@Woodleigh in Potong Pasir were fully sold last Saturday at an average price of $790 psf. And all 110 units of Woodsville 28 were sold by last Tuesday at an average price of $775 psf.
At Pasir Ris, half of the 142 units at Chip Eng Seng group's Oasis@Elias previewed over the weekend were sold, said its marketing agent CB Richard Ellis.
On the east coast, the 94-unit Parc Seabreeze in Marine Parade is selling well with the project close to 70 per cent sold, said HSR, which is marketing the project. Units are fetching from $1,050 psf to $1,550 psf.Mr Colin Tan, Chesterton Suntec International's head of research and consultancy, noted that there had been 'pent-up demand' resulting in strong sales activity, but added that this was 'not sustainable'.'Unlike the boom years, where foreigners made up a huge number of buyers, it is mostly locals who are on this buying spree,' he said.Property expert
Nicholas Mak expects a moderation of buying activity in the coming months, especially as developers continue to revise their prices upwards.

Top-end bungalows going, going, gone
18 June, 2009
The Straits Times
(SINGAPORE) The most prestigious segment of Singapore's residential property sector has picked up over the past two months.
Seven good class bungalows (GCBs) were sold in April and May - up from just two transactions in Q1 2009 - according to Savills Singapore's analysis of caveats captured by URA Realis.
The numbers are for bungalows with the minimum plot size of 1,400 square metres (about 15,069 square feet) stipulated for GCBs in the 39 GCB areas (GCBAs) here gazetted by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA).
However, if bungalows with land areas below 1,400 sq m are also included, the April-May period saw 10 caveats - again significantly higher than the three caveats lodged in Q1.
'The higher GCB sales in April and May reflect the general improvement in investment sentiment on the back of the stockmarket rally. Some GCB buyers could also be savvy investors who made money in the stock market. Going ahead, they may feel that there's more upside than downside for GCB prices,' says Savills' director for prestige homes Steven Ming.
The biggest GCB transaction in May (and also so far this year) was the $30 million sale of 2A Ridley Park, which has 27,233 sq ft land area. The price works out to $1,101 per square foot (psf) of land area - also the highest on a unit land price basis in 2009.
At least one other transaction has been done at above $1,000 psf recently, although it has yet to be reflected in caveats: 1 Cluny Hill, which was sold for $16.2 million or $1,081 psf based on its 14,985 sq ft plot size. Forbes Property Realty Network brokered the deal.
Douglas Wong, director, luxury homes at CB Richard Ellis, notes that GCB investors in Singapore often own two or more such properties - one for their own residence and the rest for investment. 'With the recent increase in activity, they may consider it opportune to liquidate some of their GCB holdings and get some cash back to plough into other investments or their business,' he said.
Compared with just three GCB transactions in Q1, Mr Wong expects some 14-17 deals in Q2. 'Assuming the stock market is able to hold up till the end of 2009, we estimate that some 38-45 GCBs could be sold for the whole of 2009, amounting to a total quantum of some $700-800 million,' he added. This would not be far off from the $827 million from the sale of 51 GCBs last year.
Other notable GCB transactions in May include a property at Jervois Road that sold for $13 million ($862 psf), and another bungalow at Binjai Rise that was sold for $19.8 million ($871 psf) to international action star Jet Li.
The highest ever psf price attained for a bungalow in a GCB area is $1,899 psf for 32H Nassim Road in October 2007. But the area of that plot is 13,423 sq ft, less than the minimum GCB plot size. That's why the GCB benchmark is generally considered $1,308 psf - the price obtained for 15 White House Park, with 22,012 sq ft land area, in August 2007.
Activity in the landed housing market first started picking up this time around in the 'low-end' segment - meaning terraced and semi-detached houses - about three months ago, said Michael French, MD of Asia Premier Property Consultants.
'We have not seen such buying levels in the market for a long time,' he said.
The activity then filtered up to smaller bungalows of about 4,000-8,000 sq ft. Then, about four weeks ago, demand for GCBs took off, with several large deals being concluded in May.
More big GCB deals are on the cards. BreadTalk founder and chairman George Quek is looking to sell his 2 Swettenham Road GCB and the price tag could be as high as $33 million, or $991 psf. Mr Quek bought the property, with 33,293 sq ft land area, with his wife last year for $27 million or $811 psf. He has appointed Newsman Realty to handle the sale, and the firm's managing director, KH Tan, hopes to get $33 million for the 1960s bungalow.
The property will be sold through a closed tender on June 30. Mr Tan has pre-selected 30 prospective buyers whom he intends to invite to view the property and to participate in the bidding exercise. Part of the proceeds from the sale will be donated to charity.

Foreigners eye S'pore homes again
12 June 09
The Straits Times
FOREIGN buyers are back to snap up homes here after bolting for the exits during the financial turmoil late last year.
The number of foreign private home purchases in April and May is already up on the first quarter but no one is claiming a significant turnaround is under way, although sales numbers hint at 'green shoots'.
The mix of buyers has also changed from the boom of 2007 and early last year. Then, Koreans, Americans, Russians, and people from the Middle East and elsewhere joined regional buyers to invest at the high end of the market, often with the aim of flipping the property to other investors.
Now buyers from Malaysia, Indonesia and China are dominating, and they are mostly picking up bargain-price units under $1 million for their own use or investment, according to property consultant Jones Lang LaSalle. Its analysis of non-landed private home caveats lodged in April and May found that foreigners bought 202 properties, up 15 per cent from the 175 bought in the first quarter and the 156 deals done in the last three months of last year.
They are taking advantage of bargains in the weak market and low interest rates, said Jones Lang LaSalle associate director of research Desmond Sim.
In the first five months this year, about 57 per cent of the foreign buyer caveats were in the $500,000 to $1 million price category. This is slightly more than for the same periods in 2004 and 2005.
Unlike the rising market in 2004 and 2005 when foreigners bought mostly new launches, buyers now are largely going for resale homes. 'During that period (2004-2005), Singapore prime residential prices were in the region of US$7,745 (S$11,200) per sq m compared to our 'cousin' Hong Kong at US$20,500 per sq m,' said Mr Sim.
Most foreign buyers then came from within Asia and saw cheaper homes here as good investments, he said. Many at the time made use of the deferred payment scheme to earn quick capital gains through flipping the units in the sub-sale market, he added.
Resale homes became popular in 2006 and 2007 as more foreigners - who came mainly as the banking and financial industries grew - chose to buy instead of paying sky-high rents.
The resale interest is back. Several resale caveats lodged this year came from districts 10 and 22, with The Tessarina in Bukit Timah and The Lakeshore in Jurong among the popular projects. The significant first-quarter price correction which made homes cheaper than before, 'and thus perceived as having more upside potential', may be a key reason why foreigners buy here instead of elsewhere, said Mr Sim.
Still, he said in-house research showed that luxury prime homes are still about 51 per cent above their last trough in the first quarter of 2005. Mass market prices are about 36 per cent above the 2005 level. This suggests more price falls may be on the way, said Mr Sim.
The impact foreigners can have in the property market cannot be underestimated. After all, they helped push up private home prices, particularly in prime areas, during the boom. 'We do not deny the potential these buyers bring to our market but, given the larger global uncertainty, we reckon it is too early to predict if this is a turn,' said Mr Sim.
Foreigners accounted for 10.6 per cent to nearly 17 per cent of total sales in the four quarters last year. But they made up less than 10 per cent of total sales this year, Jones Lang LaSalle data shows.
'The foreigners are not coming back in a strong way. During boom times, we saw less traditional foreign buyers such as foreign funds and foreigners from places like Europe,' said Mr Sim.
The buyers now are from the region, and mostly keen on mass to mid-end properties, he said.
These are the 'very localised' foreigners already familiar with the Singapore market and have kept track of what is going on, said Savills Residential director Phylicia Ang.
Cash-rich foreigners from farther afield who target prime property have not yet returned, she said.
Still, more foreign buyers are likely to return in the next three to six months, said Knight Frank executive director Peter Ow. 'Once news spread that the market is recovering, they won't want to miss out.'
The Straits Times
FOREIGN buyers are back to snap up homes here after bolting for the exits during the financial turmoil late last year.
The number of foreign private home purchases in April and May is already up on the first quarter but no one is claiming a significant turnaround is under way, although sales numbers hint at 'green shoots'.
The mix of buyers has also changed from the boom of 2007 and early last year. Then, Koreans, Americans, Russians, and people from the Middle East and elsewhere joined regional buyers to invest at the high end of the market, often with the aim of flipping the property to other investors.
Now buyers from Malaysia, Indonesia and China are dominating, and they are mostly picking up bargain-price units under $1 million for their own use or investment, according to property consultant Jones Lang LaSalle. Its analysis of non-landed private home caveats lodged in April and May found that foreigners bought 202 properties, up 15 per cent from the 175 bought in the first quarter and the 156 deals done in the last three months of last year.
They are taking advantage of bargains in the weak market and low interest rates, said Jones Lang LaSalle associate director of research Desmond Sim.
In the first five months this year, about 57 per cent of the foreign buyer caveats were in the $500,000 to $1 million price category. This is slightly more than for the same periods in 2004 and 2005.
Unlike the rising market in 2004 and 2005 when foreigners bought mostly new launches, buyers now are largely going for resale homes. 'During that period (2004-2005), Singapore prime residential prices were in the region of US$7,745 (S$11,200) per sq m compared to our 'cousin' Hong Kong at US$20,500 per sq m,' said Mr Sim.
Most foreign buyers then came from within Asia and saw cheaper homes here as good investments, he said. Many at the time made use of the deferred payment scheme to earn quick capital gains through flipping the units in the sub-sale market, he added.
Resale homes became popular in 2006 and 2007 as more foreigners - who came mainly as the banking and financial industries grew - chose to buy instead of paying sky-high rents.
The resale interest is back. Several resale caveats lodged this year came from districts 10 and 22, with The Tessarina in Bukit Timah and The Lakeshore in Jurong among the popular projects. The significant first-quarter price correction which made homes cheaper than before, 'and thus perceived as having more upside potential', may be a key reason why foreigners buy here instead of elsewhere, said Mr Sim.
Still, he said in-house research showed that luxury prime homes are still about 51 per cent above their last trough in the first quarter of 2005. Mass market prices are about 36 per cent above the 2005 level. This suggests more price falls may be on the way, said Mr Sim.
The impact foreigners can have in the property market cannot be underestimated. After all, they helped push up private home prices, particularly in prime areas, during the boom. 'We do not deny the potential these buyers bring to our market but, given the larger global uncertainty, we reckon it is too early to predict if this is a turn,' said Mr Sim.
Foreigners accounted for 10.6 per cent to nearly 17 per cent of total sales in the four quarters last year. But they made up less than 10 per cent of total sales this year, Jones Lang LaSalle data shows.

Strong demand at Nathan Residences relaunch
6 June, 09
The Straits Times
FRESH evidence emerged yesterday of a possible short-term rebound in the private residential market with strong demand at a 91-unit development in River Valley.
A quiet relaunch preview was held at the freehold Nathan Residences – and 75 units were snapped up quickly. These sales were sealed even though there was no interest absorption scheme or stamp duty waiver to entice buyers.
The deals were done at $1,220 to $1,320 per sq ft – a level market observers say is not entirely cheap but is easily 30 per cent to 35 per cent below last year’s prices.
Small developer Tat Aik first released the Nathan Road project for sale in September last year.
At prices averaging $1,800 to $2,000 psf, the project saw no takers.
Yesterday, the one-bedders were sold from about $730,000 to $785,000 while the two-bedders went for about $960,000 to just over $1 million. Those are the only two options at Nathan Residences – the one-bedders at 592 sq ft and the two-bedders at 786 sq ft.
All the one-bedders have been sold. The left-over units include eight penthouses costing around $1.6 million each and a few ground-floor units priced around $1.2 million.
Knight Frank, which marketed the project, said buyers were mostly couples and singles, and an overwhelming number were locals and permanent residents. HDB upgraders made up about 30 per cent of buyers.
‘This shows that confidence is back and people are willing to buy when something good comes along,’ said its executive director, Mr Peter Ow.
A new sold-out project sale nearby – The Mercury in Shanghai Road – was launched in March this year. Its 67 units went for a lower price range of $779 psf to $1,258 psf in March and April.
Market observers have said that more developers are preparing to launch their projects, hoping to bank on the renewed buying interest in the market.
Demand for new projects has generally risen as developers lower prices from earlier levels. The buying mood has also largely been helped by the recent rally in the stock market, observers said.
However, quite a number of individual sellers appear to have started raising their prices from the lows, following in the footsteps of some developers.
Upcoming major launches this month may include the 152-unit One Devonshire in the Killiney Road area, the 388-unit Oasis@Elias in Pasir Ris and Frasers Centrepoint Homes’ 330-unit leasehold project near the Woodleigh MRT station.
