Price Analysis and Potential
Katong Park Towers, a 99-year leasehold was bought by Bukit Sembawang Estates for $345 million. With a plot ratio of 2.1, Katong Park Towers translates to $1280 per sq ft per plot taking into account of $60 million.The Preview Price Guide starts below $2100 for 3 Bedroom and up to $2,292 for 2 Bedroom. This is much lower than the expected $2200-$2400 range.
It is interesting to note that the closet competitor at Jln Tembusu was sold at $1302 psf ppr during this year's GLS site sale. Furthermore, Duman GLS is up for bids and is expected to break the price record of Jln Tembusu. Both lands are in a 'less' desirable part of D15 when compared to LIV@MB. If Bukit Sembawang Estates plays the card right, LIV could potentially be a hotcake when launched.
Currently, there are 3 other new launches that are in the vicinity. These developments are Freehold in comparison with LIV@MB. Price-wise, LIV@MB has the potential to be launch at a lower price point, giving opportunities to those who are keen to live in Meyer region but am currently priced out of Freehold properties there.
