UOL-UIC joint venture buys Potong Pasir site for S$334m
Latest deal catapults year-to-date en bloc sales to over S$1b, as analysts anticipate market upturn
Singapore
THE en bloc purchase of Raintree Gardens in Potong Pasir by a joint venture (JV) of UOL Group and United Industrial Corporation (UIC) brings the total value of successful en bloc deals in Singapore so far this year to over S$1 billion. The latest deal follows similar successful attempts with Shunfu Ville and Harbour View Gardens in the past six months.
This is a huge improvement from the S$380 million worth of en bloc deals in 2015 and zilch in 2014 - although it definitely still pales in comparison to 2010-2013, when the average annual value of successful deals was S$1.87 billion.
