Mount Emily residential block relaunched for sale with lower S$18m guide price

A FREEHOLD residential block located at 2, 4 and 6 Mount Emily Road has been relaunched for collective sale by tender by Edmund Tie & Company with a guide price of S$18 million, down 25 per cent from the S$24 million guide price during its initial launch in June 2020.

This translates to about of S$1,115 per square foot (psf) on the existing gross floor area (GFA) as opposed to S$1,485 psf previously.

In an updated press statement on Monday, the agent's executive director of investment advisory, Swee Shou Fern, says the new indicative price "compares favourably" to the recently-transacted collective sale of Fairhaven and Sophia View at a combined land price of S$1,158 per square foot per plot ratio (psf ppr) and collective sale of Casa Sophia at S$1,120 psf ppr. (see amendment note)

"Due to the high existing GFA, no development charge is payable... With an affordable bite-size quantum, the properties at 2, 4 and 6 Mount Emily Road presents an exceptional opportunity for one to transform this well-located property into a boutique residential development for future sale of strata subdivided units," said Ms Swee.

The tender exercise will open on Tuesday and close at 3pm on Feb 25, 2021.

All owners have given consent for the collective sale of the property, which comprises adjoining units of three-storey buildings with basement and attic.
