Potential of Piccadilly Grand?

Future development within Piccadilly Grand

There are a few plots of empty land within the area of Piccadilly Grand. In the URA master plan 2020, it will be for residential development with a plot ratio of 3.5.

As the first mover development in this area, the price will be attractive compared to the future development in times to come. Whether you are buying for your stay or investment, the price that you get a unit here is almost guaranteed you will not lose money.

Any launch of the GLS land beside Piccadilly Grand will be higher in future. This will help to sustain the price for Piccadilly Grand and it will also increase the value of the development when the new land price goes higher.

Uptown @ Farrer, the land bids for this 99 years tenure are successfully by Low Keng Huat at the price of S$174.08 million, S$1,008psf PPR, in the year 2017. With the higher land price for the Northumberland site, the sales price for Uptown @ Farrer has increased recently.

Taking into consideration 1,500sqm for the commercial space (Piccadilly Galleria), it can yield up to a maximum of 407 residential units. The estimated breakeven price will be somewhere around S$1,715psf.

Taking into the considerations of lack of supply in the new launch markets, Developers will most probably be looking at a profit margin of 30% or above for this new launch development.
