    [SINGAPORE] The Sim Lian Group topped bids for an executive condominium (EC) site in Woodlands, setting a fresh record for EC land and beating out two other bidders at the close of a government tender on Tuesday (Jan 13).

    However, market watchers noted that this was the lowest number of bids an EC site has received since 2015 when a Sengkang site on which Treasure Crest has been built also drew three bids. 

    Tuesday’s tender closing pulled in fewer participants than for a nearby EC plot also along Woodlands Drive 17 that was awarded to City Developments Ltd (CDL), which attracted five bidders.
