The site can also be appealing to landed housing developers with the possibility for multiple landed houses redevelopment or sale to a single family for their own use. In addition, as this is a single-owner sale, there is certainty to the transaction and timeline.”
Mr. Low Choon Sin, Managing Partner of SRI Capital Market said: “With the recent sale of a collective sale site along Meyer Road coupled with the benchmark of new homes’ price in District 15, it demonstrates the confidence from both developers as well as consumers on the locality and the demand of new homes in the area. The Meyer enclave, which is bounded by Meyer Road and Mountbatten Road provides limited redevelopment opportunities into high-rise condominiums as landed houses are the predominant usage within the enclave.
