EC at Tengah Planation Close
The EC at Tengah Plantation Close has a site area of around 16,441.2 sqm, which may generate around 495 units. The site is within short walking distance of the future Tengah Park and Bukit Batok West MRT station on the Jurong Region Line. This site is also near the Jurong Lake District.
The most recent EC land tender was at Bukit Batok West Avenue 5, sold on 28 September 2022, at a bid price of S$626 psf ppr from City Developments Ltd.
Recent EC launches have experienced strong sales. For instance, Copen Grand was sold out within a month, and Tenet sold over 72 per cent of its units on the launch day. Buyers who missed the buying opportunity at Copen Grand may be keen to purchase this project.
ECs will remain popular despite the recent cooling measures and interest rate hikes. As prices of new condominiums continue to rise and the price gap between a new private condo in the suburbs and a new EC remains significant (can range between S$600psf and S$700 psf), buyers will consider ECs, which are more affordable and able to offer good value for aspiring HDB upgraders.
We anticipate 4 to 7 bidders for this EC site with a top bid of around S$620 to S$670 psf ppr.
