Far East sold 76 units at The Lanai including bulk purchase
Prices at the 10-storey project start at $1,290 psf. The bulk purchaser would probably have obtained a discount.
The development comprises 214 units in six towers. Apartments include a mix of two-, three-, and four-bedders. Sizes start from 947 sq ft for a two-bedder.
For the weekend preview, the property giant released three towers totalling 110 units.
The official launch, marked by the start of an advertising campaign, is expected next weekend.
Far East is developing the project on a 123,494 sq ft site at Hillview Avenue which it bought from a unit of Cerebos Pacific back in 1996 for $88 million.
The land price at the time worked out to about $371 per sq ft per plot ratio, based on media reports back then. Cerebos previously used the site for manufacturing.

Freehold City Condo
board thanks to an unusual property deal.
The project will be constructed in Tanjong Pagar, where Keppel Towers and GE Tower now stand, and is
the result of a rare swop of properties between two companies.
K-Reit Asia, the real estate investment trust that owns Keppel Towers and GE Tower, is selling the two
freehold office buildings to Keppel Land for $573 million.
In return, Keppel Land will sell its one-third stake in Phase One of Marina Bay Financial Centre (MBFC)
to K-Reit Asia for just over $1.4 billion. Keppel will reap a net gain of about $321 million from selling
the asset.
Based on these prices, the values of the properties work out to be $2,450 per sq ft (psf) for MBFC, and
$1,201 psf for the total potential floor area of Keppel Towers and GE Tower.
Keppel plans to redevelop the office buildings in Hoe Chiang Road diagonally opposite Amara Singapore
hotel into a high-rise condominium with shops and restaurants on the first floor. It will comprise two
towers of 620 apartments in all.
The developer has already obtained outline planning permission from the Urban Redevelopment
Authority to redevelop the site with a plot ratio of 5.6 and a total gross floor area of 481,800 sq ft.
At a joint press conference yesterday, senior executives of both companies described the deal as a
'win-win' situation.
It is a chance for Keppel Land to acquire a freehold residential site in an area that will undergo major
redevelopment in the coming years, with the relocation of ports and the Malaysian railway station.
'The site is well-positioned to ride on the growing popularity of city living,' said its chief financial officer
Lim Kei Hin.
Property consultants told The Straits Times they expect strong demand for the new freehold
condominium.
'There are hardly any freehold residential properties downtown, and the site is well-located between the
financial district and the HarbourFront area,' said Ms Tay Huey Ying, director of research and advisory
at Colliers International.
Going by the break-even price and values of other condominiums in the area, the new project could
fetch prices above $2,000 psf, said Cushman & Wakefield managing director Donald Han.
He also noted that the asset swop reflects the 'symbiotic relationship' between Keppel and K-Reit,
which provides a steady stream of properties to each company, helping them get around the difficulty
of acquiring new and desirable assets on the open market.
Keppel's Mr Lim said yesterday that divesting the MBFC stake allows his firm to unlock the value of that
investment and help in the growth of K-Reit Asia, of which Keppel has a 40 per cent stake.
The chief executive of K-Reit Asia Management Ng Hsueh Ling said she had approached Keppel to
suggest the deal, as Keppel Towers and GE Tower were getting old and required increasingly expensive
maintenance. Keppel Towers is 19 years old while GE Tower is 17 years old.
After the asset swop goes through, 90 per cent of K-Reit Asia's portfolio will be in the prime Marina Bay
and Raffles Place areas, up from 60 per cent previously, said Ms Ng.
The 99-year leasehold MBFC consists of two office towers that are fully leased to tenants, including
Standard Chartered Bank and Barclays, as well as the underground Marina Bay Link Mall, which is
about 87 per cent leased.

A forerunner in the industry, Candy has designed the GrandÓ Plus, the world's slimmest washing machine, which includes a tub with 50L capacity in a 40 cm depth and yet washes up to 7 kg of laundry.
The range of washing machines includes standard capacity at 6 kg load up to maximum capacity at 10 kg load, with sizes ranging from 40 cm depth to 60 cm depth.
“Candy is a well established and leading brand in Europe but has not been available to the Singapore market. Courts, always in the forefront of bringing the latest technology and new experiences to our customers; we feel that this is a great opportunity to introduce Candy’s range of innovatively designed washing machines to the Singapore market. Especially its slimmest range of washing machines, the GrandÓ Plus answers the need of optimising kitchen space available at home which is becoming smaller compared to what it used to be,” said Terry O’Connor, OBE, CEO of Courts.
Candy's washing machines will be available at all Courts stores from early October. Prices start at $699.
