    [SINGAPORE] JBE Holdings-owned Oriental Pacific Development topped four bids for an executive condominium (EC) site in Sembawang, in a state tender that saw lower-than-expected bids on Thursday (Sep 11). 

    The top bid of S$197.78 million works out to about S$692 per square foot per plot ratio (psf ppr) for the 99-year leasehold plot that can accommodate a 265-unit project.

    Market watchers had anticipated a top bid of between S$700 and S$800 psf ppr for the Sembawang parcel, after an August tender for a Woodlands EC site set a new benchmark with City Developments Ltd’s (CDL) S$782 psf ppr bid.
