Jansen Mansions Sold En Bloc To Macly Capital at S$19.1 million
After securing a deal for the Lakeside Apartments site last month, PropNex sealed another deal for the Jansen Mansions site this time.
Marketing agent PropNex Realty reported on Wednesday (Jun 29) that Jansen Mansions site has sold en bloc to Macly Capital in a public tender for S$19.1 million.
The sale price is slightly more than the reserve price of S$18.9 million, at which the tender was launched on June 28.
The land rate based on the sale price works out to S$863 psf ppr that includes development charges and after factoring in 7% bonus balcony space.
“This year, we witnessed higher interest in this plot of land compared to last year,” said Tracy Goh, head of investment and collective sales at PropNex.
She added that the tenure of the 999-year land lease, the reasonable quantum, and the development location between Serangoon and Kovan, two well-established neighbourhoods, were some of Jansen Mansions’ appealing qualities.
Jansen Mansions owners’ first try their luck at a collective sale was in 2018 with a reserve price of S$22 million.
Early last year, the owners attempted a second collective sale; the reserve price was set at S$19.8 million; it was then lowered to S$18.5 million in a new tender announcement in August 2021.
This time around, they found success thanks to ongoing robust residential sales and hungry developers looking for new land with their stocks extremely low currently.
