One Tree Hill Gardens sold for $65 mil One Tree Hill Gardens (top left), sold for $65 million to Lum Chang Group, is the first collective sale deal for The price works out to a land rate of $1,664 psf. According to Knight Frank, owners will get $4.3 million to $9.1 million each, depending on the size of their properties. One Tree Hill Gardens comprises six maisonettes and seven apartments ranging from 1,916 to 4,682 sq ft. The freehold site with a land area of 39,063 sq ft is zoned for two-storey semi-detached residential use under the 2014 master plan. Knight Frank says the site could be redeveloped into eight semi-detached homes plus five bungalows, or 10 semi-detached homes plus three bungalows. In its filing to the Singapore Exchange, Lum Chang says the proposed acquisition represents a rare opportunity to acquire such a sizeable piece of real estate in the prime Orchard Road area. Singapore 1Q property investment deals jump 67.4% from a year ago: JLL About $4.99 billion worth of real estate investment deals were sealed in the first three months of this year. That is a 67.4% jump over the same period a year ago, with the private sector accounting for 90% of the total sales value in the first quarter. The engine of growth for Singapore s private investment sales market in 1Q2017 was the office sector, which took the lion s share of sales, at 47.5%, says Tay Huey Ying, head of research and consultancy at JLL Singapore. JLL notes that $2.12 billion was pumped into the office sector in 1Q2017, a 60.6% jump from the preceding quarter and the highest first-quarter privatesector office sales value amassed since On a y-o-y basis, it jumped 294.6%, up from $540 million in 1Q2016. The residential segment saw $1.69 billion in private investment sales for properties valued at $5 million and above in the first quarter. This was a 35.3% drop from that of 4Q2016, but double that of 1Q2016, which was $840 million. Two other segments, retail and industrial, saw y-o-y private investment sales more than double from 1Q2016 to $280 million for retail and $390 million for industrial in 1Q2017. Going forward, JLL is upbeat about 2017 s prospects for the retail and residential sectors. The successful sale of Jurong Point to Mercatus Co-operative for $2.2 billion could propel the full-year sales value of retail properties, challenging the $3.35 billion concluded in LASALLE INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT Sale of Shunfu Ville gets nod from Court of Appeal Qingjian Realty has reportedly obtained the Court of Appeal s approval to proceed with the acquisition of Shunfu Ville estate (above). According to market sources, two of the owners had objected to the sale, asking if the deal was made in good faith, taking into account the sale price of $638 million, which is $50 million below the reserve price. The sale committee had launched two public tenders since 2015 and both were at a reserve price of $688 million. In both tender exercises, no formal bids were received. Though no written judgment was issued, the two objecting owners have 30 days to file an appeal. In May 2016, 82% of Shunfu Ville owners had agreed to sell the 358-unit privatised Housing and Urban Development Company estate to Qingjian Realty for $638 million. Each flat owner stood to pocket an average of $1.78 million. Qingjian says it plans to build about 1,000 homes on the site. These will be a mix of high-rise apartments of up to 25 storeys and landed units. Brisbane City Council approves Fortitude Valley transformation The Brisbane City Council has approved plans for a new 23-storey commercial office tower to be located next to the Fortitude Valley railway station (bottom left) in Brisbane, Australia. The tower will sit on a 7,000 sq m regeneration site. The commercial office tower will be the first stage of LaSalle Investment Management s transformation plans for the Valley area. The plans, unveiled last November by LaSalle, show the Fortitude Valley railway station sitting at the centre of an A$500 million ($520 million) master-planned residential, retail and business hub. According to LaSalle Investment Management, the approval will reinforce the Valley s renaissance as a business centre and rejuvenate this formerly neglect ed part of the Valley. LaSalle Investment Management is also planning the development of a 32-storey apartment tower with 207 units and refurbishment of the Valley Metro retail centre. The current lease of the retail space above the Valley station expires in 2071 and LaSalle Investment Management is in discussions to convert the leasehold interest to freehold. Construction of the commercial tower is subject to tenant pre-commitments, but is expected to start in the next 12 months. Urban & Civic launches Manchester New Square UK developer Urban & Civic will be launching its latest residential scheme, Manchester New Square JLL (top right), for sale in Singapore on May 13 and 14. The scheme will have a total of 351 apartments spread across The Carding Building, The Linter Building and The Calico Building, and is expected to be completed by The developer had launched the 117-unit The Carding Building for sale in the UK in April. According to JLL, the appointed marketing agent, Urban & Civic will be releasing The Linter Building for sale in Singapore, its first international stop. This building has 139 units, comprising 59 one-bedders, 64 two-bedders, and 16 three-bedroom units. The one-bedders are from 553 to 623 sq ft, with prices starting from around $400,000. The two- bedders of 755 to 945 sq ft are priced from $620,000. The three-bedroom units are from 987 to 1,151 sq ft and are priced from $790,000. The developer has appointed Lendlease as its preferred contractor and initial works will start on site this month. Manchester New Square, designed by Simpson Haugh & Partners, is located at the corner of Whitworth Street and Princess Street and comprises three residential buildings surrounding a landscaped and tranquil square. On the ground floor level, there will be a mixture of artisan restaurants and retailers, as well as a private residents gym, lounge and 24- hour concierge service. Italy introduces 100,000 flat tax to draw rich foreigners Well-heeled individuals thinking of migrating can now add another country, Italy, to their list. On March 9, the Italian government introduced a flat tax for wealthy foreigners who would like to live in Italy. The tax is its attempt to compete with similar incentives offered in Britain and Spain. The income revenue authority has made it possible for foreigners to move to Italy and pay a flat tax of only 100,000 ($153,364) on all income accrued abroad, and a further 25,000 for every family member who wants to register his or her fiscal address in Italy. According to local reports, those who wish to participate in this scheme will need to have a net worth of at least 15 million. The flat tax will only be paid on income made abroad, while any money made in Italy will be taxed at a normal rate. A person is considered an Italian resident for tax purposes if he or she has been in the country for more than 183 days, or six months. According to Italian tax authorities, the flat tax will be renewable every year for a maximum of 15 years. The impact of this law, implemented on March 8, has been significant. Based on research carried out by Lionard Luxury Real Estate SpA, there has been a 17% increase in the demand for luxury properties in Italy.

3 THEEDGE SINGAPORE MAY 15, 2017 EP3 PROPERTY PICKS How big a price premium do integrated developments command? BY MICHAEL LIM Over the past decade, condominium projects linked to an MRT station have generated strong sales. This is especially so for projects that are not only linked to an MRT station, but also part of an integrated development with a sizeable commercial component such as a shopping mall. According to Alice Tan, head of research and consultancy at Knight Frank, an integrated development is defined as a mixed-use development with a residential and large commercial element that is seamlessly connected to a transport node and public spaces. Alan Cheong, head of research for Savills Singapore, agrees. It s basically convenience at your doorstep, he says. You save on time that you would otherwise spend travelling to shop for your daily necessities, or taking a bus or walking 10 to 20 minutes to the MRT station. Paya Lebar Lendlease s recently launched Park Place Residences at Paya Lebar Quarter is an example of a private condo project that is part of an integrated development. More than 250 units Lendlease s 429-unit Park Place Residences at PLQ is expected to be completed by 2019 about half of the 429 units at the project were snapped up at an average price of $1,801 psf over the first weekend of sales. The show suites were closed after the sale of the first phase; the second phase will be launched at a later stage. Park Place Residences is linked to three office blocks with about a million sq ft of office space and a 340,000 sq ft shopping mall as well as the Paya Lebar MRT Interchange station. The average launch price of Park Place Residences is 12.5% higher than the average price of $1,600 psf that Katong Regency was launched at. Katong Regency is a 244-unit freehold development sitting on top of One KM shopping mall, which is located within PICTURES: SAMUEL ISAAC CHUA/THE EDGE SINGAPORE walking distance of the Paya Lebar MRT Interchange station. The project was launched in 2012 and completed in 2015; all units were snapped up in less than a month. Apart from Katong Regency, two other private condo developments in the same district as Park Place Residences are GuocoLand s 1,024-unit Sims Urban Oasis, which is expected to be completed later this year. The 99- year leasehold project was launched in 2015; more than 70% of the units have been sold. About 60 units were sold in April at an average of $1,380 psf. The other development is the 99-year leasehold TRE Residences adjacent to the Aljunied MRT station. The 250-unit private condo was jointly developed by Sustained Land, MCC Land and Greatview Development and launched in November 2014 at an average of $1,416 psf. In March and April, 54 units were sold at an average price of $1,456 psf, based on caveats lodged with URA Realis. Compass Heights Singapore s first integrated development The first truly integrated development in Singapore was Compass Heights in Sengkang.

4 EP4 THEEDGE SINGAPORE MAY 15, 2017 PROPERTY PICKS ALBERT CHUA/THE EDGE SINGAPORE Compass Heights, which sits atop Compass One mall, was the only private condo in Sengkang when it was launched for sale in 2001 Compass Heights and The Centris the trendsetters FROM PREVIOUS PAGE prises two 14-storey blocks, which are linked seamlessly to the new Compass One mall (revamped Compass Point shopping centre), the Sengkang MRT station, LRT Station and bus interchange. When Compass Heights was launched in February 2001, units were sold at an average of $480 psf. It was the first private condo launched in Sengkang and completed in Across the road from Compass Heights is The Luxurie at Sengkang Square, a 622-unit, 99-year leasehold development by Keppel Land. Launched in September 2011, its units were sold at an average of $980 psf. From July to September 2011, units at Compass Heights changed hands at an average of $841 psf, according to caveats lodged with URA Realis. The Luxurie and Compass Heights were completed in 2015 and 2002 respectively. If one does not mind living in an older condominium project that comes with the convenience of being part of an integrated development, Compass Heights offers value for money, as the units are relatively larger than [those at] The Luxurie, says Savills Cheong. Most recently, a 1,292 sq ft, three-bedroom unit on the ninth floor of one of the twin towers at Compass Heights was sold at $990,000 ($766 psf) in April. Prior to that, a 1,324 sq ft, three-bedroom unit on the same floor fetched $1.13 million ($853 psf). The Centris price gap widened postcompletion Generally, when integrated developments are launched, developers will build in a 20% to 25% premium over other private condos in the same area, notes Knight Frank s Tan. Take, for example, The Centris, which was launched for sale in October The 610- unit, 99-year leasehold condo is located at Jurong West Central 3, is integrated with the Boon Lay bus interchange and has a link to Jurong Point shopping centre and the Boon Lay MRT station. There are no other private condos in its vicinity, which comprises mainly HDB flats. The nearest private condos are located one The 610-unit The Centris by Guthrie GTS and Lee Kim Tah Holdings was completed in 2009 Jurong Point, one of the largest integrated suburban malls, is connected to Boon Lay bus interchange and MRT station MRT stop away at Lakeside MRT station. MCL Land launched Lake Grande, adjacent to the MRT station, last July. Within the first week of sales, about 500 units were sold at an average price of $1,364 psf. So far, about 85% of the 710 units have been sold. Next door to Lake Grande is the 696-unit Lakeville, also developed by MCL Land. The 99-year leasehold condo was launched in April 2014 at an average price of $1,325 psf and is fully sold. When The Centris was launched in 2006, the existing 99-year leasehold private condos in the vicinity of Lakeside MRT station were the 304-unit Lakepoint Condo, a privatised apartment project for the middle class and developed by JTC Corp in 1983; the 638-unit Parc Vista by Far East Organization, completed in 1997; and the 369-unit Lakeholmz by Frasers Centrepoint, which was completed in The initial average price of units sold at The Centris in October and November 2006 was $497 psf, according to caveats lodged with URA Realis. The closest comparable project then was Lakeholmz, which was completed in Prices of resale units sold at Lakeholmz averaged $478 psf between September and November 2006, according to caveats lodged. The premium that The Centris was commanding then was just 4% above Lakeholmz. From January to April this year, however, units at Lakeholmz have changed hands at an average of $816 psf. Meanwhile, at The Centris, which was completed in 2009, units were sold at an average of $972 psf in the same four-month period in 2017, based on caveats lodged with URA Realis. This means the price gap has widened to 19.1%. Premium eroded with new competition When the Frasers Centrepoint s 712-unit Caspian, a 99-year leasehold condo within walking distance of Lakeside MRT station, was launched in February 2009, units were sold at an average of $598 psf. At the time, The Centris was close to completion, and its units sold in January to February 2009 averaged $552 psf, according to caveats lodged with URA Realis. The Caspian was completed in 2012 and units sold from January to April 2017 averaged $1,054 psf, based on caveats lodged. While the premium of integrated developments may not hold up against newer private condos in the vicinity, they can still maintain their prices better over the long term, says Knight Frank s Tan. THE EDGE SINGAPORE

5 THEEDGE SINGAPORE MAY 15, 2017 EP5 PROPERTY PICKS ALBERT CHUA/THE EDGE SINGAPORE PICTURES: SAMUEL ISAAC CHUA/THE EDGE SINGAPORE The 992-unit Watertown by Far East Organization, Frasers Centrepoint and Sekisui House was completed this year and sits atop Waterway Point mall, which is connected to the Punggol MRT station CapitaLand s 583-unit Bedok Residences was completed in 2015 and sits atop Bedok Mall, which is also a bus interchange and is connected to the Bedok MRT station In an ageing HDB town such as Bedok Town Centre, however, a new condo that is part of an integrated development sitting on top of a shopping mall linked to an air-conditioned bus interchange and MRT station generates not only interest but also queues ahead of the launch. This was exactly what happened on the eve of the launch of the 583-unit Bedok Residences in November 2011, with 400 people queuing overnight. On the first day of launch, CapitaLand sold more than 350 units in the project at an average of $1,350 psf. Completed in 2015, Bedok Residences is linked to Bedok Mall, the Bedok MRT station and the bus interchange. In the first four months of 2017, units changed hands in the resale market at an average of $1,445 psf. A 657 sq ft, one-bedroom unit that was sold in a sub-sale for $1,599 psf in April 2015 achieved the highest price in the development. Bedok Residences has been able to command a price premium because it is the only 99-year leasehold private condo located in an ageing HDB town. The nearest private condos are located one MRT stop away in the vicinity of Tanah Merah and include the newly launched Grandeur Park Residences by Chip Eng Seng Corp s property development arm, CEL Development. Since its launch in late February, the 99-year leasehold Grandeur Park Residences, which will be linked to the Tanah Merah MRT station, has sold more than 530 units, or close to 74% of the total, at an average of $1,350 psf. Grandeur Park Residences is a mixed-use development and will offer a childcare centre, shops and F&B units when completed. MCC Land s 731-unit The Poiz Residences is expected to be completed by 2019 Frasers Centrepoint Homes 536-unit, 99-year leasehold Compass Heights was completed in 2002 Integrated development with lifestyle elements Punggol Central awaits the completion of 992- unit Watertown by a consortium comprising Far East Organization, Frasers Centrepoint and Sekisui House. The Watertown private condo sits on top of Waterway Point mall, which is connected to the Punggol MRT and LRT stations as well as the bus interchange. Moreover, it is located on the man-made Punggol Waterway, where the entertainment and recreational facilities are located. Watertown was launched for sale in January 2012 at an average of $1,200 psf, or 22% more than A Treasure Trove, where units were being sold in the subsale market at an average of $940 psf. The 99-year leasehold, 882-unit A Treasure Trove by Sim Lian was launched in September 2011 at an average of $870 psf and completed in Meanwhile, Parc Centros, a 618-unit private condo located across the road from Watertown, was launched in August 2012 at an average of $970 psf, or 23% below Watertown s initial launch price. The 618-unit Parc Centros by Wee Hur Holdings was completed in Both A Treasure Trove and Parc Centros are located just across Punggol Central Road from Watertown. According to caveats lodged with URA Realis, the average selling price of units sold in sub-sales at Watertown between January and April this year was $1,220 psf. This is still 5% higher than the average price at A Treasure Trove ($1,160 psf) and about 10% higher than that of Parc Centros ($1,100 psf). The Watertown is the second integrated deve lopment after Compass Heights to be located on the Northeast MRT line. The third integrated development located seven MRT stops away is The Poiz Residences and The Poiz Centre. The Poiz Residences comprises 731 units in six 18-storey blocks sitting on top of a 50,000 sq ft retail-cum-lifestyle complex named The Poiz Centre. The project will be seamlessly linked to the adjacent Potong Pasir MRT station. The retail complex will have 84 strata-titled shops, which MCC Land says it will manage to ensure it has the right tenant mix to cater for the needs of residents in the area. About 90% of units at The Poiz Residences have been sold since it was launched in Novem ber In April, units were sold at an average of $1,510 psf, based on caveats lodged. Meanwhile, the 335-unit Sennett Residence located on Upper Serangoon Road, across from The Poiz Centre was completed last year. The latest transaction at Sennet Residences was done last November, when a unit was sold for $1,301 psf. The average price for units sold is $1,419 psf, based on transactions so far. Adjacent to Sennett Residence is the 214- unit Sant Ritz, also completed last year. The most recent transaction was that of a 1,109 sq ft, two-bedroom unit that fetched $1,092 psf in February. The average price of units sold is $1,369 psf. While Sennett Residence and Sant Ritz may be adjacent to the Potong Pasir MRT station, Poiz Residences is the only integrated development in the area, hence its price premium, notes Knight Frank s Tan. Northward bound There are two integrated developments in the northern region of Singapore. One is the 546-unit Hillion Residences, a 99-year leasehold condo development directly linked to the adja cent Bukit Panjang MRT and LRT stations and bus interchange. Developed by Sim Lian Group, the mall was completed at end-2016 and is fully leased. More than 420 units have been sold, at an average of $1,362 psf, based on caveats lodged. At least 34 units were sold in March and 22 in April at an average of $1,430 psf. With the Downtown Line in operation and the mall open since February, interest in Hillion Residences has picked up, notes a property agent. Located about 300m away and on the other end of the Bukit Panjang MRT station is Far East Organization s 338-unit The Tennery, completed in The project previewed in December 2010, and about 80% of the units were sold within a month at an average of $1,200 psf. The latest transaction was in February this year, when a unit was sold at $1,139 psf. The Tennery is considered an integrated development, as it sits on top of the Junction 10 shopping mall, which in turn is directly linked to the Ten Mile Junction LRT station and the Bukit Panjang MRT station. In Yishun, the most significant integrated development is North Park Residences. The 920-unit private condo comprises 12 blocks sitting atop Northpoint City. It was launched in April 2015 and 313 of the 400 units released in the first weekend of sales were snapped up at an average of $1,300 psf. North Park Residences is 83% sold. Northpoint City is the expanded Northpoint shopping centre, which will have 500 shops. It will be integrated with the Yishun bus interchange, Yishun public library and a community club, and will also be linked to the Yishun MRT station. The government s aim is that, by 2030, 80% of households will live within a 10-minute walk of an MRT station. Perhaps the premium that an integrated development has over other private condos in the area will depend on how close the others are to the MRT station and amenities of the integrated development, says Savills Cheong. Knight Frank s Tan believes, however, that integrated developments in the suburbs and on the city fringe will be much better able to hold their value and appeal over the long term than those in the central area. Those living farther away from town will place greater value on an integrated development because it will save them travelling time, she says. E

6 EP6 THEEDGE SINGAPORE MAY 15, 2017 OFFSHORE UEM Sunrise to strike balance between mid-market and luxury projects BY E JACQUI CHAN Although Malaysian develop er UEM Sunrise may be more conservative than its competitors in its approach, it has proven to be resilient in a challenging market. It ended FY2016 with sales of RM1.36 billion ($441.5 million) 37% higher than the targeted and revised RM1 billion. It is worth noting that the results were bolstered by the southern region, which contributed 50% to total sales versus 12% in For now, UEM Sunrise has three priorities: to build the brand into a reputable, value-driven developer of signature properties; to expand its geo graphical base and adjacent businesses; and to nurture a serviceorient ed culture. Engagement appears to be the key word for the developer as it seeks to keep its customers happy and create products suited for the current market. Anwar Syahrin Abdul Ajib, the developer s managing director and CEO, says: We want to engage our customers more. We want to keep them happy and keep them in the loop on what is happening at the organisation. We do surveys, go to property fairs to talk to buyers. We have about 15,000 Tresorians. All this gives us an insight into the various markets that we have and the kind of things that we should look at. Tresorians are holders of UEM Sunrise s privilege card, Tresor, which is designed to reward customers who have purchased its properties. We recognise that customer experience is critical to building our brand value and we are placing more emphasis on creating a customer-centric mindset within the organisation, says Anwar, who is very happy that the developer s post-sales customer service and engagement have improved significantly. The developer is also working to enhance its completed projects. Anwar says, For example, we are doing a few things to beautify East Ledang in Johor. We are doing up Signature Lake there because it was not done properly. We are putting in a jogging track and other facilities so that the residents can enjoy what they bought a lot more. Diversifying products and location UEM Sunrise is looking to diversify its product offerings by venturing into both the mid- and exclusive landed property markets. Anwar points out that the former is enjoying high demand now whereas the latter offers the potential for an altogether different kind of luxurious lifestyle ensconced in serenity and privacy. UEM Sunrise has two mid-market projects ready to be launched: Dahlia in Serene Heights, Bangi and Serimbun in Bukit Indah, Johor. The Anwar: We recognise that customer experience is critical to building our brand value former comprises 170 two-storey terraced houses with an estimated gross development value (GDV) of RM144.1 million; the latter consists of 214 two-storey houses with an estimated GDV of RM106.7 million. Dahlia will be launched in 2Q2017 and Serimbun in 3Q2017. These amounts of GDV are a bit more contained and the take-up will be good. Launches like these will allow us to manage our costs better than a big launch with a big GDV. We have to be very clear about our target market. I always challenge the team to know the target market and whether they will buy, says Anwar. UEM Sunrise plans to launch RM1.7 billion worth of projects this year, with a sales target of RM1.2 billion. Also scheduled to be launched in the second half of the year are the integrated Solaris Parq in Solaris Dutamas and the high-rise residential Mayfair, St Kilda Road, in Melbourne, Australia. The former comprises 576 serviced apartments with an estimated GDV of RM735 million and the latter will have 158 units with an estimated GDV of RM713 million. Anwar says, We are still working on the unit price psf for both projects, so the GDV is just an estimation. We had more than 900 units in Aurora Melbourne Central and more than 400 in Conservatory, Melbourne. Mayfair will be smaller but it will be very exclusive. With Mayfair, we are trying to cater more for the local market. For Aurora and Conservatory, we had 20% to 30% local buyers. This time, we are aiming for 40% to 50%, says Anwar. Mayfair is designed by world-renowned Zaha Hadid Architects and is targeted at the ultra high-end market. We are going to do 10 units per floor and, honestly, coming up with the layout has been tricky for us. We are putting in two- and three-bedroom units and five that measure 3,000 sq ft. Normally, to be safe, we do smaller units in Melbourne but, here, we are catering for the local market. With only 158 units, we reckon there shouldn t be a problem, says Anwar. UEM Sunrise s Mayfair project in Melbourne is designed by Zaha Hadid Architects and targeted at the ultra high-end market Geographical diversification In a bid to strike a balance in its portfolio, the developer is looking to be more diverse when it comes to its geographical locations. Geographical diversity will help reduce our market risk and strengthen our revenue profile. Within Malaysia, we believe there is scope for much greater expansion beyond Iskandar Puteri. We are actively looking to increase our landbank in the central region with a focus on hot spots that carry high potential for growth, says Anwar. As for the international market, UEM Sunrise is wrapping up its operations in Canada. The developer recently sold three plots totalling 4.9 acres in the country for RM372.6 million to local developer South Street Development Group. This move will allow the developer to focus on the Malaysian market and Australia. We are pleased with our performance in Melbourne and will be open to acquiring more landbank in this city as well as others in Australia and elsewhere in the international space that fits our brand profile, says Anwar. Iskandar Malaysia still a key market To support these strategies, the developer will continue to emphasise operational efficiencies and keep its costs low, as it expects profit margins to keep narrowing as the cost of labour and materials rises. At home, the southern region remains a key area for the developer as most of its landbank is located there. It has about 8,900 acres, including through joint ventures, in Iskandar Puteri, Desaru, Kulai and Mersing comprising land for projects in the pipeline and ongoing ones such as Puteri Harbour, SILC and Afiat Healthpark. The total estimated GDV of the to-be-launched projects is RM93 billion. Anwar says, I know people s view of Johor is not favourable and our share price is tied to that. But we are doing something about it. In general, about 50% of our sales come from Johor, and the central region and international market contribute about 25% each. Moving forward, we hope to increase the contribution from the central region, so we are looking at more launches outside Johor. We are not just another developer building houses in Iskandar. As a part of Khazanah Nasional, we are a part of a bigger agenda because Iskandar Malaysia is Khazanah s brainchild. To create a metropolis there, we had to build catalytic developments such as Puteri Harbour. Iskandar Puteri (formerly Nusajaya) is essential to UEM Sunrise as a long-term growth driver in the southern region. With the Malaysia-Singapore highspeed rail coming into play, UEM Sunrise has more plans for its developments in Iskandar Malaysia. It will be developing Gerbang Nusajaya, which is expected to generate a GDV of RM42 billion, over the next 25 years. Location is one of several decisive factors in the company s land acquisitions, says Anwar. The location must already have developed value or have the potential to be developed into a PICTURE: UEM SUNRISE premier address. In developing a premier destination, we seek strategic partnerships to [build] the necessary infrastructure, facilities and amenities for sustainable communities. We will also build on our placemaking aspiration by capitalising on our current assets such as Puteri Harbour, Publika, Mall of Medini and Anjung to undertake activities that create dynamic and vibrant communities in all our built environments. Sluggish market sentiment Anwar expects the property market to continue to be sluggish this year. Although demand remains flat, he believes there will be bright spots, especially in the mid-market landed and affordable segments. UEM Sunrise has close to 500 acres in the Klang Valley, which will generate enough GDV for the next five to 10 years. The products we have in Mont Kiara are high-end and the ones in Bangi are mid-market. We need to have the mid-market products somewhere between Bangi and the centre of KL. That is the strategy, so we are looking for sizeable land now. We are talking to a few parties and, hopefully, we can secure something, says Anwar. Ultimately, it is about the product, and what drives it is our vision of building communities. It has never been about building a fancy building; it is about the kind of community we try to create. So, it is important for us to really understand the market we want and the communities we want to create. We are buying in Melbourne partly because we already have a team there. I m not convinced by the markets in other parts of Australia yet, although it has been said that Brisbane is the next place of growth. We may look at London if the market and prices are right. UEM Sunrise has about RM4.1 billion in unrecognised revenue, which, Anwar says, will provide near-term earnings visibility from progress billings. We will also continue to adopt strategic approaches and space out our launches in line with consumer sentiments and market demand. This has proved to be a success, as shown by our launch of Melia Residences in Johor. Melia Residences is the developer s first landed residential development in Gerbang Nusajaya and it contributed RM126.6 million to total sales of RM1.36 billion last year. We aim to maintain our position as a leader in the property development industry by bringing in concepts that are original and unique. We will also continue to benchmark ourselves against the industry in terms of being the best-in-class developments to our customers, concludes Anwar.

8 EP8 THEEDGE SINGAPORE MAY 15, 2017 COVER STORY In the first four months of 2017, $3.39 billion worth of office deals took place PICTURES: SAMUEL ISAAC CHUA/THE EDGE SINGAPORE Office market deals pick up After recording the highest sales in nine years in 1Q2017, the office market is expected to remain healthy for the rest of the year, in anticipation of rental growth in 2018 and a lull in supply for the next couple of years BY CECILIA CHOW The office market is now abuzz, as sentiment has swung from pessimism to optimism in just one year. Fears of an oversupply in the office market 18 months ago have evaporated, with investors now forecasting a period of relatively modest supply in 2018 to Jeremy Lake, CBRE executive director of capital markets, observes: Singapore goes through periods of too much office space, and then periods of relative shortage. In the first four months of 2017, $3.39 billion worth of office deals were transacted. They include deals valued above $100 million, ranging from the sale of substantial strata space to stakes in a building or an entire building. The latest office deal done early this month was the sale of a 50% stake in Grade-A office building One George Street for $590 million ($2,650 psf). The buyer was FWD Group, the insurance arm of investment vehicle Pacific Century Group, controlled by Richard Li, the younger son of Hong Kong s richest tycoon Li Ka-shing. CBRE brokered four of the six office deals done so far this year, amounting to $1.91 billion, or 56% of the total $3.39 billion transacted. This includes the sale of the 50% stake in One George Street and DBS Bank s entire interest in the holding company of PWC Building to an indirect subsidiary of Manulife Financial Corp for $746.8 million, considered one of the Tuan Sing Holdings recently purchased Sime Darby Centre, which has redevelopment potential biggest office deals in 1Q2017. The two other office deals brokered by CBRE this year were the sale of Sime Darby Centre to Tuan Sing Holdings for $365 million; and the sale of 79,500 sq ft of strata space in Prudential Tower to private-equity firm, One Tree Partners, for $206.6 million (see table). The remaining two office deals that CBRE was not involved in were direct deals between the vendors and buyers. One was the sale of the entire interest in Plaza Ventures Pte Ltd the registered owner and developer of GSH Plaza to Fullshare Holdings for $725.2 million. The other direct deal was the sale of the 61% stake in Triple One Somerset to Hong Kong-listed Shun Tak Holdings for $758.2 million. Investor confidence up Today, investor confidence in Singapore s office market is on the rise, says Greg Hyland, JLL Singapore s head of capital markets. They are acutely aware that the window of opportunity to acquire available assets at an attractive point in the cycle is fast closing. The office leasing market is already showing signs of stability at the prime CBD end. Things could not have been more different 18 months ago. At the start of 2016, there were fears of an impending oversupply arising from the completion of Guoco Tower at Tanjong Pagar Centre, Marina One office towers at the New Downtown and UIC Building at V on Shenton. Investors were unsure what the impact would be on rents. Towards mid-2016, however, sentiment started to shift. The catalyst was the sale of Asia Square Tower 1 to Qatar Investment Authority for $3.38 billion in June, coupled with two deals in May: Straits Trading Building, which was sold to Indonesian tycoon Tahir s MYP for $560 million; and the sale of a 60% stake in CapitaGreen to CapitaLand Commercial Trust for $960 million. Leasing at the new office towers also picked up towards 2H2016. Today, Guoco Tower is 91% leased. UIC Building is about 50% taken up and DUO is about 45% leased. Meanwhile, more than one million sq ft has already been pre-leased at the Marina One office towers, which have about 1.8 million sq ft of premium office space. CBRE Investors were emboldened by the leasing progress at these new office schemes as well as the pace of office transactions in 2H2016, says CBRE s Lake. In fact, 2016 ended on a high note with two office deals in November: the sale of a 50% stake in Capital Square to ARA Asset Management for $475.5 million and the sale of 77 Robinson Road for $530.8 million to CLSA Capital Partners. Both deals were said to be brokered by CBRE. By January 2017, five out of 10 investors would consider buying an office space, and today, it s more likely to be six in 10, notes Lake. Just a year ago in January 2016, only one in 10 would consider buying. In 1Q2017, the office sector was already the top performer in terms of investment deals, with $2.12 billion or 47.5% of a total of $4.99 billion in sales across all sectors of the real estate market, says JLL in a release on May 8. The 1Q2017 figure was also the highest 1Q performance in nine years for the office sector since the peak in 1Q2008, when $3.41 billion worth of office deals took place. Office rents bottoming out Therefore, some investors believe that rents today may have bottomed. According to Corporate Locations Singapore Market Review in March 2017, average top rental rates are now in the range of $8.50 to $9.50 psf per month. The rate of decline in the prime segment of the office market has slowed significantly and, in some cases, such as that of Guoco

Generally, we expect top prime rates to soften only marginally, by around 5% during the course of 2017, but they are beginning to bottom out, says the office specialist. It will be the mid-tier office market that will experience the greatest pressure over the next 12 months, with further falls in rents of around 10%, notes Corporate Locations. There will be some huge voids appearing in some of the older established buildings, as a result of major relocation this year, and these buildings will be under the most pressure. Property consultants are projecting that office rents will recover next year. According to Corporate Locations, 2018 will be an important year for office relocations. There will be a lull in new supply for a couple of years after that, with the next wave of supply not coming onstream until 2020/21. (See table on office supply for 2017 to 2021.) Wave of Hong Kong money Another interesting trend is the wave of capital from Hong Kong into the office market. For instance, Macau casino king Stanley Ho s Shun Tak Holdings raised its stake in Triple One Somerset; Pacific Century Group s FWD acquired a stake in One George Street; and Hong Kong-listed Fullshare Holdings, which acquired the entity behind GSH Plaza, is the investment holding company controlled by mainland Chinese billionaire Ji Changqun. In all the time I ve been working here, I ve never seen as much interest from Hong Kong groups, says Lake, who has been with CBRE since Lake reckons the wave of Hong Kong money into Singapore s office market is due to the perception that it is coming out of a dip. With prices and rents having softened, these Hong Kong groups feel it s timely to relook at Singapore, as it presents good value, he says. Likewise, the wave of Chinese money into Singapore will also increase. In many cases, the Hong Kong and Chinese groups have already invested in London, Australia or New York. So, the missing piece in the jigsaw puzzle is perhaps Singapore, notes Lake. The spectrum of buyers is also diverse. In addition to Chinese and Hong Kong money, there are also sovereign wealth funds. Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, for instance, is in a joint venture with Lendlease at Paya Lebar Quarter; Qatar Investment Authority now owns Asia Square Tower 1; and Norway s US$935 billion ($1.3 trillion) sovereign wealth fund, the world s largest, is also reportedly seeking suitable real estate projects in Singapore and Tokyo. Redevelopment potential Some companies are buying properties with the intention of redeveloping them. For example, the site that Sime Darby Centre occupies is zoned for commercial use. It is therefore likely to be redeveloped by Tuan Sing into a new commercial building with a mix of office and retail space. A commercial development has higher value than residential, says Lake. A 100% interest in the 11-storey office building at 139 Cecil Street is on the market for sale. Built in the 1980s, the property occupies a 7,936 sq ft site and has a 99-year lease dating from August The building is vacant, as the vendor intends to redevelop it into a 16-storey boutique commercial building with office space on the upper floors, F&B outlets on the ground floor and carpark facilities. The new building will have a total lettable area of 85,000 sq ft, which includes a communal roof terrace and recreational facilities. It will be sold on a completed basis, with redevelopment scheduled for completion by 2Q2018. Lake: With prices and rents having softened, Hong Kong groups feel it s timely to relook at Singapore, as it presents good value The building is on the market by expression of interest, with a price tag of $210 million, and Cushman & Wakefield is the marketing agent. The price is equivalent to the amount paid by Shanghai Hengda Group, a Chinese real estate group headed by the Zhou family from Shanghai, for neighbouring building 137 Cecil Street in December Hengda Group had purchased the 60% stake in 139 Cecil Street for $75 million last September. The remaining 40% stake in the building is held by a joint venture between Vibrant Group and DB2 Group. Shaun Poh, Cushman & Wakefield executive director of capital markets, says: The reason for the sale [of 139 Cecil Street] is that the vendor was approached by several parties that made offers for the building. That prompted the expression of interest exercise. The building on Cecil Street is also attracting Chinese and Hong Kong companies looking for an office building in the CBD where they can have naming and signage rights. Strata sales to return The original intention of the vendors of 139 Cecil Street was to carve up the office building into strata units for sale. They have already obtained approval to strata-subdivide the new development at 139 Cecil Street into 99 office units and three retail units. Eighteen months ago, interest in the strata office market became muted when there were fears of a looming oversupply. The subsequent owner has the option to sell the strata-titled PWC Building was acquired by Manulife for $746.8 million Office supply (2017 to 2021) DEVELOPMENT LOCATION ESTIMATED SIZE COMPLETION (SQ FT) DATE Vision Exhange Jurong East 475,000 January 2017 Oxley Tower Robinson Road 130,000 January 2017 UIC Building Shenton Way 276,000 April 2017 Marina One New Downtown 1,800,000 April 2017 Frasers Tower Cecil Street 690,000 April 2018 Robinson Tower Robinson Road 195,000 April 2018 Paya Lebar Quarter Paya Lebar 883,500 December 2018 Park Mall Orchard Road 352,000 1Q2019 Franklin, Science Park 1 Buona Vista 260,000 1Q2019 Aquarius, Science Park 2 Pasir Panjang Road 376,750 2Q2019 CPF Building redevelopment Robinson Road 500,000 1Q2020 Central Boulevard New Downtown 1,000,000 2Q2020 Golden Shoe Car Park Raffles Place 1,000,000 1Q2021 Afro-Asia Building Robinson Road 180,000 2Q2021 Woods Square Woodlands Central 630,000 2Q2021 units when the market returns in the future, says Cushman & Wakefield s Poh. The strata sale market seems to be coming back, but the trend appears to be for bulk purchase. He reckons it is partly due to the diversion of some funds from the residential market when the opportunity for bulk purchase closed on March 11. That was when the government imposed a new rule in the form of additional conveyance duties for residential property transactions that involve acquiring a significant equity interest in entities that hold primarily residential properties. This effectively plugged a loophole that allowed Singaporean investors to participate in the bulk CBRE purchase of unsold units in a residential development by buying the holding company and enjoy substantial savings in stamp duties, unlike those who purchased the residential units directly. But it s not the sole reason for the shift in interest from residential to office deals, says Poh. There s a lot more interest in office buildings, especially when there are very few office buildings in the CBD that are in the $100 million-to-$200 million price range. With the more positive outlook for the office market, interest and activity in the strata office space will also pick up, says CBRE s Lake. In addition to the strata sale of the 79,500 sq ft of office space in January for $206.6 million, another strata sale of about $150 million is underway at Prudential Tower. In February, an entire strata floor of more than 13,000 sq ft at Samsung Hub (adjacent to Prudential Tower) was sold for $43 million ($3,280 psf). The price of $3,280 psf is equivalent to the price achieved in the sale of the entire strata floor sale on the floor above, the 21st level, which was slightly smaller at 12,841 sq ft and sold in October 2014 for $42.1 million, according to a caveat lodged. According to Lake, average office prices today are still 10% below the last peak in late 2007 and 1Q2008. We expect more deals during the rest of the year and activity to continue.

12 EP12 THEEDGE SINGAPORE MAY 15, 2017 DONE DEALS Spike in sales at Gramercy Park in April BY TAN CHEE YUEN Sales of luxury condominiums in the prime districts have been picking up steadily. This was evident in April. Gramercy Park was one of the projects that attracted keen interest among buyers in the past month. The freehold 174-unit twin-tower condo on Grange Road was developed by City Developments (CDL) and completed in The 15-storey towers contain 87 units each and are named North and South Towers. The sizes of units at Gramercy Park range from 1,184 sq ft for a two-bedder to 7,287 sq ft for a five-bedroom penthouse. It was designed by NBBJ of New York, the architect behind CDL s other landmark development, the 1,111-unit The Marina Bay. For all of April and early May, there were 15 caveats lodged for units sold in the North Tower (Phase 1) of Gramercy Park. Transaction prices ranged from $3.4 million ($2,872 psf) for a 1,184 sq ft, two-bedroom unit on the fourth floor of the tower to $7.95 million ($2,978 psf) for a 2,669 sq ft, four-bedroom unit on the first level, according to caveats lodged. According to CDL, 74 units (85%) of the North Tower had been sold as at May 8. All two-bedroom-plus-study units in the North Tower have been sold, while the take-up rate for three- and four-bedroom units has been good, says the developer. Riding on the positive sales momentum for Gramercy Park s North Tower (Phase 1), the South Tower (Phase 2) was soft launched at the end of March. Of the 20 units released at the South Tower, 16 units had been sold as at May 8. Average sale prices have risen from more than $2,600 psf in Phase 1 to more than $2,800 psf in Phase 2. Early bird prices for the South Tower (Phase 2) start from $3.4 million for a two-bedroom-plusstudy unit; $5.1 million for a three-bedroom unit; and $6.8 million for a four-bedroom unit. About 24% of the buyers at Gramercy Park are said to be Singaporeans, with the remainder being a mix of permanent residents and foreigners, according to CDL. Gramercy Park is attractive to buyers, owing to its prime location on Grange Road, says Samuel Eyo, managing director of Singapore Christie s International Real Estate. There has not been a new launch of a luxury condo project along Grange Road in more than five years. Tomlinson Heights is another luxury condo development that saw a pickup in transactions last month. The boutique condo is a single 36-storey tower with just 70 units. Completed in 2014, the freehold condo comprises 2,745 sq ft, three-bedroom units and 4,047 sq ft, five-bedroom units. Tomlinson Heights is adjacent to a bigger luxury condo: the 202-unit Four Seasons Park Residences, which was completed in Both projects were developed by Hotel Properties. Of the five units at Tomlinson Heights that were sold last month, two were five-bedroom units: One was on the 14th floor and sold for $10.75 million ($2,656 psf); the other was on the 34th floor and sold for $11.15 million ($2,755 psf). The remaining three were three-bedroom units, located on the 27th, 29th and 31st floors. Each was sold for $7.5 million ($2,752 psf). This brings total sales in the development so far this year to about 75%. Prior to the recent spate of transactions, the latest ones at Tomlinson Heights took place in December. Both were 4,047 sq ft, five-bedroom units: The one on the eighth floor fetched $11.1 million ($2,743 psf); the one on the 30th floor was sold for $12.2 million ($3,014 psf).

Three-bedroom units at Pavilion 11 that were leased out in March fetched rental rates of $4,200 to $6,200 a month.
