[RealEdge] BT : Dapenso Building up for sale

Published October 26, 2006

Dapenso Building up for sale

 

DAPENSO Building on Cecil Street has been put up for sale at an indicative price of $60 million. The site is 11,030 sq ft, has a plot ratio of 11.2 and is zoned for commercial use.

Marketing agent Colliers International's director for investment sales Ho Eng Joo says maximising the plot ratio and topping up the original 99-year lease will cost an additional $13 million. The total land price works out to $590 per sq ft per plot ratio (psf ppr).

Last week, SingTel's Crosby House - on a much larger site of 24,531 sq ft - was sold for $163.4 million. With a $26 million development charge and a $65.9 million premium to top up the lease to 99 years, the price worked out to $928 psf ppr.

Dapenso Building is 96 per cent let, with leases expiring in 1-2 years. Based on the plot ratio, a new project can be built up to a gross floor area of 123,536 sq ft. Existing rents are about $3 psf per month, but Colliers' Mr Ho reckons the pick-up in office rents could see the future landlord ask $5-$6 psf per month.
