THE 14th floor of the Samsung Hub building in Church Street is up for sale at $43.3 million
The Straits Times - February 26, 2013

THE 14th floor of the Samsung Hub building in Church Street is up for sale at $43.3 million.

The 13,110 sq ft floor space is divided into four individual strata titles, with areas ranging from 2,906 sq ft to 3,875 sq ft.

The four strata titles will be sold to a single buyer because one tenant occupies the whole floor of the building in the Central Business District, said CBRE.

An American law firm has been renting the floor for more than three years. Its lease will expire at the end of next year.

Based on the asking price of about $3,300 per sq ft (psf), CBRE has estimated the annual gross yield to be 3 per cent.

The 16th floor was sold to a local fund for $39.4 million or $3,000 psf in September last year, setting a record price for the building.

The caveat was lodged in December.

"The market has gone up between September 2012 and February 2013," CBRE said.

The asking price of $3,300 psf for the 14th floor would set a new high for the building if it is realised.

Mr Jeremy Lake, CBRE's executive director of investment properties, said yesterday that the four separate strata titles would allow the buyers flexibility should they eventually decide to sell.

The building is owned by Church Street Holdings and was completed in 2005.

It has a total strata area of 299,753 sq ft across its 30 storeys as well as 177 carpark spaces.

The tender closes on March 28.

The Straits Times  |  MARCH 22, 2013 The Pines Club in Stevens Road will be made over into a hotel and commercial development in an ambitious redevelopment plan. A unit of developer Oxley Holdings has agreed to buy the 18,477 sq m estate for $318 million on a 103-year lease. Oxley has obtained provisional permission to develop two blocks of eight-storey hotels, two blocks of two-storey commercial buildings and a four-storey clubhouse with a basement on the site, according to a company statement to the Singapore Exchange. The club's facilities will be integrated into the new complex. Motoring tycoon Peter Kwee told The Straits Times that club members will be offered places at the Laguna National Golf and Country Club in Changi during the interim construction period. He owns both clubs. Members will be able to use the Stevens Road clubhouse facilities after the redevelopment, estimated to take between two and three years. Talk about the estate's ma

Former Bt Timah Turf Club may become private estate: analyst

Channelnewsasia.com | Posted: 13 February 2013 2007 hrs SINGAPORE: Property analysts said the former Bukit Timah Turf Club area will probably be redeveloped into a private residential estate, consisting of a mix of landed properties and condominiums. The government is setting aside this piece of land for residential use as part of the recently-released Land Use Plan. The Grandstand is an establishment that sits on the former Bukit Timah Turf Club. The new family lifestyle development was set up just last year. But in five years' time, it may no longer be around. The lease expires in 2018 and housing redevelopment is expected to begin then. Analysts believe the lease may not be extended. Nicholas Mak, executive director of research and consultancy at SLP International said: "If any of these operators have plans to upgrade or to renovate their premises, I think they have to take into consideration that they probably have only about five years left to
