CanningHill Piers is located at the site of the Former Liang Court with a site area of the entire integrated development to be at 139,128 sq ft. It is located along the Singapore River and right next to the bustling Clark Quay. It is also directly linked to Fort Canning MRT on the Downtown line with the historical Fort Canning hill across the road. Minutes away from Orchard Road and CBD, CanningHill Piers location is excellent for both work and play.
Property Analysis
We based our analysis on our proprietory A.C.E assessment. A score will be given for meeting each factor. Our scoring guidelines as follow
1-3: Avoid 4-5: Can Consider 6-7: Excellent Potential
1) Distance to MRT
6/10 buyers prefer a maximum of 10 minutes walk to MRT. This would translate to a distance of 1 Km. CanningHill Piers has direct access to Fort Canning MRT that is just 100 meters away.
Scoring: 1
2) Growth Hotspot
D6 is a relatively small area consisting of City Hall, High Street, North Bridge Road. Given its location, new development may be limited. However, with its close proximity to the Orchard Road belt that is undergoing rejuvenation, it could enjoy the spillover effect. Additionally, part of the road that currently separated the project site and the river will be transformed into an attractive riverfront promenade that connects seamlessly with Clark Quay.
Scoring: 1
3) Potential GLS Plots or Enbloc Nearby
There are 2 GLS plots directly across the road at the foot of Fort Canning. While it is not open for sale yet, there are future potential for it. Given the lack of residential plots in D6, CanningHill Piers can potentially set the benchmark for this district.
Scoring: 1
4) Developer's Profit Margin
Liang Court was sold En Bloc to CDL and Capitaland for $400M. There was also a lease top up from 57 to 99 years. Cannnighill Piers will also be an integrated project consisting of residential, service apartments and hotels. As such, breakeven prices for CanningHill Piers are not as clear cut as GLS developments.
Scoring : 0
5) Surrounding Price Comparision & Valuation
The price for CanningHill Piers are not announced yet. The price that most would look at is at $3000psf. Anything significantly higher may damper its attractiveness to the buyers. If prices start from $2500, it will make CanningHill Piers a strong buy.
Completing New Launches along the Singapore River includes Rivière (D3 - 1BR from $2766PSF) and The Avenir (D9 1BR from $2844 PSF)
As the pricing is unavailable as of this moment, we will give a score of 0. It will be updated once the prices are available.
Scoring : 0
6) Rental Yields and Rentability
Given the location and accessibility, the CBD provides a large catchment area of tenants for CanningHill Piers. Additionally, the service apartments would provide a benchmark for rentals. Traditionally, service apartments are priced higher than surrounding rentals as it is often used for a shorter stay. This gives the investors a buffer when it comes to rentability.
Scoring: 1
7) Property Size
The rule of thumb is that projects with greater than 600 units are preferred as they will create more transactions and thus impact future pricing. CanningHill Piers has a decent 696 units for launch.
Additionally, the marketing for CanningHill Piers is very robust given the CapitaLand and CDL connections. As such we anticipate a high awareness that could translate to high demand for this development.
Scoring: 1
Bonus: Exit Strategy
Exit strategy differs for each investor. Some are more speculative and would purchase it during launch only to resell when TOP. Others are more long term as they look into a rental for yields. Scoring for this would be base on individuals.
