The sweet scent of rose
Tough property cooling measures. A dip in the economy. But none of these could douse the dream of owning a home, as evidenced by the sharp spike in sales at private residential property launches in the past two months. January saw 2,077 units sold, representing a whopping 210% jump from just 670 units sold in the previous month. February registered even better results with 3,138 new units sold. Parc Rosewood was the best-performing project in February. Located along Rosewood Drive close to the Seletar Expressway, it is a joint venture between Fragrance Group and Aspial Corporation and comprises 15 blocks of five-storey residential buildings. Surrounding it are several 99-year leasehold condominiums, such as Rosewood Suites, Rosewood, Casablanca and Woodgrove Condo. Further down the road is the recently launched Woodhaven, which consists of a mix of SOHOs, condominiums and townhouses. It is developed by Far East Organization. The take-up rate of both these projects was unexpectedly high and selling prices on average were a 55% premium over other projects in the area. When it was first put up for tender, the Parc Rosewood site drew only three bids with prices ranging from $120m to $151.5m. Fragrance and Aspial paid $151.4m for the 294,719-sq-ft plot in June last year. Based on a maximum GFA of 412,616.4 sq ft, the land acquisition cost would translate to $367.2 psf ppr. We estimate the developers breakeven to be around $777 psf. Parc Rosewood offers 689 units, of which 626 have been launched. Demand has been robust so far, with a take-up rate of over 90%. Though the project was originally supposed to hold 390 units, the JV partners have reconfigured the site to accommodate more small units. Thus, studio apartments make up 40% of the total number of units. With prices as low as $398,000, the developers were able to attract a large number of investors. We estimate a rental yield of around 3.5%, taking into consideration Woodsland station becoming an interchange station in 2018. This could be a good chance to sweep up a snazzy new unit.

The 337-unit Woodhaven was launched in June last year, six months after the award of the $105.1m tender. The land cost translated to $332.9 psf ppr. The 99-year leasehold project saw better-than-expected response, considering its location and lack of transportation in the surroundings at the moment. In the first month of the launch, 155 units were snapped up at a median price of $981 psf. The remaining units were progressively sold throughout the year. The takeup rate held steady, even during the last quarter of 2011 when another 44 units were sold at an average price of $1,040 psf. Of the 39 strata townhouses incorporated into the project, 12 have been sold at an average of $777psf.
