The deal completion – following the signing of the sale and purchase agreement between the Tulip Garden Collective Sale Committee and the Developer on April 12, 2018 – continues to affirm and reflect Colliers’ expertise in executing on major projects and delivering optimal outcomes for all stakeholders.

Ms Tang Wei Leng, Managing Director at Colliers International, said “We are delighted to have closed this transaction and to have been able to help the owners fulfill their long-standing en bloc sale dream. Collective sale journeys tend to be long and information flow sensitive. There might have been some anxieties as owners await communications. We thank the owners for their trust and confidence in us throughout the whole collective sale process allowing us to deliver on the reserve price and marketing strategies that achieved their desired outcome.

The sale price is 20.4% higher than the owners’ reserve price of SGD753 million – the second highest price premium achieved in a residential collective sale transaction so far this year. At SGD906.889 million, the sale price works out to a land rate of SGD1,790 per square foot per plot ratio (psf ppr), surpassing that of recent collective sale transactions in the area: SGD1,703 psf ppr for Hollandia; SGD1,654 psf ppr for The Estoril; and SGD1,536 psf ppr for The Wilshire.
Ms Tang previously said that: “What was appealing about the site was its large contiguous land area which will offer greater flexibility in the planning and development of the new residential project, providing ample space for wide-ranging facilities and social areas for future residents. Large plots in prime central locations are rare and Tulip Garden provides an opportunity for the developer to capitalise on the upturn in the high-end homes segment. For the whole of 2018, we estimate that prices could rise by 10% in the Core Central Region.”

Mr Ng Kee Wah, Chairman of the Tulip Garden Collective Sale Committee, said, “The wait is finally over. It has been at times a nerve-wrecking journey for the owners who first took a stab at selling the property en bloc in 2007. We are overjoyed at the sale. Many parties were involved in making this a success. We thank our marketing agent, lawyers, the sale committee and everyone who had played a role in this collective sale process. Many of us love this neighbourhood and will be eager to see the upcoming development that will be built on our beloved Tulip Garden site.”
