Post author By insyirah mahfuz
Post date February 28, 2022

Piccadilly Grand is a new development by Maximus Residential and Maxim’s Commercial in Singapore. Piccadilly Grand is set to be an exciting new development with the potential of adding more stores and restaurants! The upcoming expansion will bring this building into its next phase. With the development of new infrastructure, getting access to your daily necessities has never been easier. We’ll be discussing the developers of Piccadilly Grand in this article.

Piccadilly Grand is the latest venture between City Developments and MCL Land. This company has decades of experience, making them perfect for this project!

About City Developments Limited (‘CDL’ or the ‘Group’)

City Developments Limited or CDL for short is a Singapore-based multinational real estate operation that was founded in 1963. They were once controlled by the Hong Leong Bank, which led them to make losses because of geopolitical changes.

As of now, the company has its headquarters in Singapore. The Chairman of this company is Kwek Leng Beng and his son Sherman serves as the current chief executive officer.

City developments is more than just a company. It’s an innovative network that spans 112 locations in 29 countries and regions. The largest by-market capitalization on Singapore Stock Exchange makes this all the more impressive!

Portfolio

With a diverse portfolio of properties, there’s sure to be an option available for everyone. From hotels and serviced apartments all the way down through homes that are part of integrated developments in shopping malls.

The hospitality, commercial and residential real estate group is one of the world’s largest with more than 23 million square feet in holdings worldwide. They are a major player on both sides – not only do they own over 152 hotels but 44 thousand rooms as well! The company’s most important asset may very well be its own hotel subsidiary: Millennium & Copthorne Hotels Ltd.

Track Record

This company has an excellent track record of providing new neighborhoods for families. 47,000 homes so far in their 55 years of real estate development management investment- it’s no wonder that CDL knows what they are doing!

About MCL Land Limited (‘MCL Land’ or the ‘Group’)

Another local property group with an almost as long track record is MCL. MCL has been a part of the Jardine Matheson Group since they were established in Malaysia 50 years ago.

Portfolio

They’re an expert in the field of real estate, with years and experience to back it up. You can find their portfolio anywhere from Hong Kong all over Asia – especially China or Singapore where they have many high profile projects under wraps right now!

Piccadilly Grand – All You Need to Know!

Post author By insyirah mahfuz
Post date February 22, 2022

When it comes to convenience, the new developments at Northumberland Road (Piccadilly Grand) have you covered. Developed by two renowned Singapore developers – City Developments together with MCL Land.

This place is sure not just to provide optimal living conditions but also to give its residents an excellent quality of life!

Read to find all you need to know about Piccadilly Grand.

The development is a private condominium with communal facilities and retail space at ground level. The residential component of Piccadilly Grand condo houses three towers.

Each at 23 stories high; 407 apartments range from one bedder up through 5 bedroom units.

Piccadilly Grand (Neighbourhood)

There are a number of sites in Singapore that have been named after English counties. This site, however, has particular roads which call to mind an English vibe and can be found. Examples are Worcester, Dorset, Rutland, Norfolk, Kent, Hampshire, and Northumberland.

Little India is a colorful, vibrant neighborhood with an exciting heritage. It’s perfect for those looking to experience both Singapore’s culture and history as well as adventure out on the streets where steeped-in character shophouses await.

This is the perfect place for those who love both old and new. You’ll find that it has a diverse array of historic landmarks, as well as modern conveniences like supermarkets or coffee shops on every corner.

This estate has an excess of hotels and serviced apartments that indicate how much demand there is for rental properties in this area. Examples include Parkroyal on Kitchener Road, Park Hotel Farrer Park, Fortuna Hotel, The Claremont, and the recently completed Lyf Farrer Park with more to come soon!

Piccadilly Grand (Site Plan)

This site was once an open car park. The Piccadilly Grand site is now a thin and longish plot of land at the end of Northumberland Road. The site itself is bounded by Race Course Road on its South-East, Gloucester Road to its North-East, and Farrer Park View HDB flats on its North-West.

These HDB blocks are about the same height, or slightly higher. Since most views in that direction will be blocked by old shophouses on Race Course Roadside however you can still get a great view from some locations here.

Eventually, there will be empty land parcels to the east and west of this site that could eventually be built upon.

The fastest way to get here is via Northumberland Road. It’s a smoother route that will take you all the way into town, with Exit E for Farrer Park MRT Station on either end. Level 1 of Piccadilly Galleria will be joined directly to the station which is very accessible.

The three towers are strategically aligned to catch the most wind and minimize heat from a particular direction. The design of this site has an added advantage in that it provides more privacy for those living there, as they can enjoy views whether looking east/west or up towards the sky on either side; depending on which tower you’re located at!

Piccadilly Grand (Amenities)

1. Proximity to MRT

This condo development is located very close to Farrer Park MRT station as mentioned above. In addition, the Little India MRT station which is an interchange station is only a 5-minute walk which gives residents and visitors easy access to the North-East Line and Downtown Line. From there they can get off at Orchard Road for all your shopping needs or go on foot towards Clarke Quay before reaching other areas like the CBD, Chinatown, and Harbourfront where many more attractions await!

The Downtown line similarly gives direct access to the employment hubs and amenities at Suntec City, Bugis, Marina Bay, Financial Centre, and Fort Canning.

Little India is tourist central and it has an extensive transportation system that includes buses from all over the city!

2. Nearby food options

The diversity of Little India is not lacking in the Piccadilly Grand condo. With a location that does not lack amenities, residents are close to all unique dining options and retail outlets within this cultural Precinct.

City Square Mall offers an extensive range of stores for all your daily necessities. There are also several other shopping centers that offer plenty more options, such as Mustafa Centre and Tekka Market with their grocery selection or Pek Kio Market & Food Centre which has great food markets in addition to department store goods.

Tucked within the colorful district of Singapore, you’ll find a wide range of restaurants that serve authentic Indian cuisine. Some examples are Komalas Villas, MTR Singapore, Ananda Bhavan, The Banana Leaf Apolo, and others.

The area is home to many hotels, including the Parkroyal Hotel and Connexion. It also features an integrated medical center with more hotel development on its way!

3. Outdoor adventures

With the up-and-coming Rochor Ophir corridor close by, this area has everything you need. Set within an expansive park-like setting with great connectivity available at all times of day; there’s no better place to live work play!

Additionally, the new Bukit Timah-Rochor Green Corridor will pass nearby, providing walking and cycling trails for sports enthusiasts. The stretch of the path has the potential to become a large linear park that encircles Singapore!

4. Schools near Piccadilly Grand

With three primary schools within a 1km radius, residents will have a few choices for their children. The first two are Farrer Park Primary and Hong Wen School while St Joseph’s Institution Junior also provides an option close by!

Other than that, within a 2km radius, they have St Margaret’s Primary, Anglo Chinese Primary, and Anglo Chinese School (Junior).

5. Road accessibility

The main roads that serve the Piccadilly Grand condo location are Bukit Timah Road and Race Course Road. These link to an expressway network island-wide through Central Expressways (CTE).

Orchard Road, a popular spot also links up with CBD within 5 – 10 minutes off-peak.

6. Rental pools

It is not surprising that this picturesque little town has become a popular destination. The many hotels and medical facilities attest to its newfound status as an up-and-coming location in the region.

Also, do check out our video on Piccadilly Grand to find out more! Our another video will show you its floor plan!

Piccadilly Grand is coming soon! This brand-new condo development will be launching in April and we’ll keep you updated as more information becomes available. Stay tuned for updates about this exciting new project.

List of Undervalued Properties in Singapore (2022)

What is the list of undervalued properties in Singapore in 2022?

With the recent changes in the property market, it’s now more important than ever to be tuned in to what’s happening. Covid-19 has brought about some major shifts that will affect how we buy and sell homes for years or even decades following its implementation. We’ve come across a number of new undervalued properties launch promotions in 2022.

As such, we’re collating them here. This list will be updated regularly to reflect the discounts/promotions that come up – or when there are more introduced.

Program Guide: Government Land Sales (GLS)

Post author By insyirah mahfuz
Post date January 21, 2022

Developers are always on their toes when the Government Land Sales (GLS) Programme comes out because they know what an opportunity it is. Every six months, the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) announced a list of land sites for sale in what is known as the Government Land Sales Programme.

The GLS program is a great way to stay up-to-date with upcoming real estate developments, not only for developers but also for potential private home-buyers. It provides insight into what’s coming and when, so you can plan ahead for your home purchase or sale.

Continue reading to find out the overview of the newest GLS sites announced for the first half of 2022, as well as a beginner guide of the GLS program and why is it important for Singapore homebuyers.

Government Land Sales (GLS) Programme: What is it & How does it work

As you probably already know, Singapore is a small country with limited land.

The government of Singapore owns over three-quarters (75%) of the land in the country. In order to better utilize this property, Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) plans and designs residential usage for cities including housing projects as well zoning regulations on what can go where based on current needs or future goals that may change things up completely.

The Singaporean government is always looking for ways to create more housing opportunities.

One of their most recent plans is where the GLS Programme (Government Land Sales) comes in. It enables private developers like CapitaLand, Oxley Holdings, or Keppel Land – among many others to purchase land from them through an auctioning process before developing houses on it; this way we can all benefit.

Government Land Sales (GLS) sites announced: Twice a year

The government will release State Land for tender through the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) sites. Upcoming URA GLS locations can be viewed on their website here.

As mentioned, interested developers can acquire the State Land for residential development. For example, condominiums. Developers who want to build new condos have a chance of winning land through an open tender. They will bid for it and the one with the highest offer gets their desired plot.

Following the close of tenders, URA will provide a full list and detailed pricing information for developers who were awarded sites. The developers who have been awarded development sites are listed with an accompanying price tag so that Singaporeans can monitor progress closely.

Below is a photo of what the media statement looks like which also includes the top bidders.:

Government Land Sales (GLS)- 1H2022

Now that we have cleared up GLS, let’s look at the newest or latest release of GLS sites.

On 16 December 2021, URA and HDB have announced thirteen sites for this year’s GLS Programme. Five of these will be on the Confirmed List while eight others are Reserve lists, which can total to 6500 private residential units as well 90 thousand sqm gross floor area (GFA) or commercial space with 530 hotel rooms in all.

The 2H2021 Reserve List includes six residential sites, two White locations, and one hotel. These will be brought forward into the GLS program to make room for all future developments that are needed.

Below is a table of the Confirmed List sites for 1H2022 according to the Ministry of National Development (MND).:

Location	Site Area/ Estimated no. of units	Gross Plot Ratio	Status/ Estimated Launch date
Pine Grove (Parcel A)	2.25 (520)	2.1	February 2022
Dunman Road	2.52 (1035)	3.5	March 2022
Lentor Central	1.34 (470)	3.0	May 2022
Lentor Hills Road (Parcel B)	1.08 (265)	2.1	May 2022
Bukit Batok West Avenue 5 (EC site)	1.66 (495)	3.0	June 2022

Pine Grove (Parcel A)

This 99-years leasehold site in District 21 can yield about 520 units and has a site area of 2.25ha, which makes it an ideal location for residential development with the closest MRT stations being Clementi and Dover on East-West Line (EWL).

Besides, residents will enjoy having their children walking distance away from Henry Park Primary School.

Dunman Road

The Dunman Road site can yield 1,035 units with an area of 2.52ha and it is right next to Dakota MRT station giving residents access not only to themselves but also another train line-the Circle Line which will take them all around downtown Singapore quickly without having too much trouble finding their way. Many reputed schools are nearby including Kong Hwa School, Dunman High School, Chung Cheng High School (Main), Tanjong Katong Secondary School, and Tanjong Katong Girls’ School.

In addition, new BTO flats will spring up around the Mountbatten/Dakota area, including the Feb 2022 Geylang BTO launch.

Lentor Central

The site at Lentor Central can yield about 470 units and has a land area of 1.34ha, which is next to several other sites in the neighborhood released by developer MRCB throughout 2019-2021 as well as two stops away from Cross Island Line (CRL).

Residents will also be four kilometers saved when traveling on Circle Train via TEL crossing over into downtown Singapore CBD – ideal if you’re looking for more space or better connectivity than what’s offered closer upfront.

Lentor Hills Road (Parcel B)

It seems that the Lentor area is finally getting some much-needed attention. Not only have we seen two new development sites announced, but they’re located just minutes away from each other.

Both sites are due to be launched in May 2022 with an estimated 265 units that can be yielded from the 1.08ha site.

Bukit Batok West Avenue 5 (EC Site)

The development site at Bukit Batok West Ave 5 can yield 495 units with a total area of 1.66ha, which is not too far away from an MRT station; Bukit Gombak.

GLS Programme- Reserve List VS Confirmed List

Well, there are two different types of lists on URA’s website. “Confirmed List” and “Reserve list”. As their names suggest these are exactly what they say; confirmed or reserve respectively.

Confirmed List– They are confirmed in that they will definitely go on sale on a pre-determined date listed on the URA website.

Reserved List– They won’t be available until there is enough demand to fill them in order of preference or when there is a successful developer application.

The government will put up a site for tender if interested developers submit an application. The price must be agreed upon between the developer and government before any work can begin on developing it, but once that’s done then anyone is free to take over management of its development as they see fit.

Below is the table of the Reserve List sites for 1H2022.:

Location	Site Area (ha)/ Estimated no. of units	Proposed Gross Plot Ratio	Status/ Estimated Launch Date
Hillview Rise	1.03 (335 residential units)	2.8	Available
Pine Grove (Parcel B)	2.50 (565 residential units)	2.1	Available
Tampines Street 62 (Parcel B EC)	2.80 (700 residential units)	2.5	Available
Lentor Gardens	2.18 (535 residential units)	2.1	May 2022
Bukit Timah Link	0.41 (140 residential units)	3.0	June 2022
Kampong Bugis	8.29 (1000 residential units and 10,000m2 of commercial space)	–	Available
Woodlands Avenue 2	2.75 (440 residential units and 78,000 m2 of commercial space)	4.2	Available
River Valley Road	1.02 (530 hotel rooms and 2000m2 of commercial space)	2.8	Available

How is Government Land Sales (GLS) relevant to homebuyers?

Home-buying is one of the most important decisions you’ll make in your lifetime, which makes it all that much more crucial to do research and due diligence before making a purchase. But with so many variables at play (location/market demand), how can someone be expected to know what they’re getting themselves into? That’s where GLS sites come into play. They provide access not only to current listings but also to previous sales data as well.

Making a hasty property purchase can be regretful, especially if you find out there is more residential land available after buying your new home.

In addition, by the URA Space tool, you can also check out all the GLS sites (upcoming, current, and past) on a map.

To sum up, if you’re looking for your first or next home, check out URA’s GLS sites. The recently launched projects can be found here and past ones are also available on their site.

You can find the newest launched GLS sites here and the past sites here. Alternatively, you can also check out the URA Space to view GLS sites that have been released and sold in the past.

Is it better to live in a condo or a HDB?

Is it better to live in a condo or a HDB?

For international investors looking to invest in a Southeast Asian rising economy, Singapore presents a promising opportunity. Despite the fact that Singapore sells property at a high price, it has the highest ownership proportion in the world, at more than 90%. The geographic location of this country adds icing to the cake in terms of luring foreign investors. If you want to buy property in Singapore, you need learn more about the market so you can make better judgments. Choosing between a HDB flat and a condominium is always a difficult decision.

So, what is the difference between a HDB flat and a condominium, and which is a better investment in Singapore?

HDB Apartment

HDB flats, or Housing Development Board flats, are government-subsidized public housing in Singapore. The majority of Singapore’s residential housing developments are overseen and developed by the government. Approximately 78.7% of the country’s population lives in such housing. The primary motivation for developing HDB flats was to provide affordable housing with the option of receiving financial assistance from the Central Provident Fund at the time of purchase. The board is developing new facilities for producing up-market public housing developments in response to shifting demands.

Condo

A condominium, or ‘condo,’ is a privately owned individual unit within a building with other units. The owners of such condos acquire shared common areas such as garages, elevators, gyms, pools, and other amenities as a group. Condos are usually built in taller buildings, however individual condos can also be seen in some markets.

• A better investment option

To figure out which is the superior investment option, you must first figure out why you want to acquire property. You must understand the ins and outs, and you must receive a clear response to your request. This is because if you can clarify your needs, you will be able to better match them to the amenities offered by a condo or HBD flat.
Because HBD flats are public housing, there are specific requirements for maintaining them, which can make the investment process more difficult if you don’t want to be restricted. There would also be a waiting period before you could rent or sell the property. When you buy a private condo, however, there are no such restrictions. Nonetheless, it is your goal that should take precedence.

• Property costs

When buying anything, especially in a foreign country, property costs are quite significant. Condos are generally more expensive to rent than HDB flats because they are private property. The cost, as well as the location, are important considerations. Property in a popular or prime location is more expensive than those in less central locations. So, before you make a budget, you need to figure out which sites are important for your needs. Furthermore, if you are on a restricted budget, you can transfer from condos to HDB flats.

• Eligibility

When it comes to buying properties in Singapore, eligibility is another important element to consider. You must have nationality as well as family nucleus eligibility to acquire HDBs. Purchasing a condominium, on the other hand, has no such limits.

• Accessibility

Accessibility considerations should also be considered. If you need easy access to bus stops and rail stations, HDB flats may be preferable to condos because HDB flats are generally placed closer to such locations. Condos, on the other hand, may be a better alternative if you like a quieter environment because they are typically developed in less congested places. Because some condos have equal accessibility, there may still be discrepancies in the decision-making process.

• Risks that have been calculated

Finally, you must take sensible risks. The majority of investors use rental income to fulfill their monthly mortgage payments. For this, you’ll need to concentrate on the interest rate environment. When calculating the rental amount, you can choose a secured or fixed-rate loan. Condos, rather than HBD flats, may be a better option if you are more concerned with capital gains.
It’s worth noting that if you buy a condo and then decide to have an HBD, it won’t be easy to change your mind. When you own a condo, you are not eligible to apply for flats. On the other hand, if you buy a HDB first and then desire to improve, it will be relatively easy to sell and upgrade to a condo. So, before making any decisions, consider all of the advantages and disadvantages so that you do not regret the inconvenience later.

The new condo in Outram Park, which will be completed by 2023, will be built on the site of the former iconic Pearl Bank Apartment. Pearl Bank Apartment (built in 1976), which was once Singapore’s highest private residential complex, was undoubtedly one of the most talked-about en bloc sales of 2018.
