| 65-unit condo in Upp Serangoon Rd to go on sale ANOTHER residential development goes on sale in the Upper Serangoon Road area this weekend. The Acacias - in Braddell Park, off Upper Serangoon Road - will be launched at an average price of about $645 per square foot (psf). The 65-unit freehold condominium by The Heritage Group will comprise 35 three-bedroom apartments, 12 penthouses, 12 two-bedroom units and six one-bedroom units. David Neubronner, executive director of Savills Residential, marketing agent for project, said: 'Expatriates are gradually moving out of the traditional Districts 9, 10, and 11 - not only to be near schools but also to enjoy better living without compromising on quality and style.' The Australian International School along Lorong Chuan and the French International School in Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3 are nearby. Mr Neubronner said the projected rental rate for condominiums in the area is $2.50-$3 psf. This could deliver a return of up to 5 per cent. The Acacias is being built on a redevelopment site that cost about $15.3 million in August 2005. Further up Upper Serangoon Road, in Palm Grove Avenue, a redevelopment site measuring 29,014 sq ft is being put on the market for about $9.9 million. Originally comprising two neighbouring detached house plots, the 999-year leasehold site has gross plot ratio of 1.4. Grace Ng, executive director and auctioneer of Colliers International, which is the marketing agent, says an apartment block with 30 units of about 1,200 sq ft each can be built. Another option, she says, is to build 20 cluster houses. Closer to the city, off Upper Serangoon Road and near the Macpherson Road-Genting Lane junction, a freehold industrial building is for sale - the asking price is $11 million-$12 million. Zoned for 'Business 1', the 37,039-sq-ft freehold site has a gross plot ratio of 2.5. Marketing agent Colliers says such freehold sites in Singapore are rare. |
