HOMEFreehold Minbu Villa in Balestier up for sale at $145.8 mil reserve priceThe freehold, 34-unit Minbu Villa (above,
left), located off Balestier Road, has been
put up for sale, with a reserve price
of $145.8 million ($1,355 psf per plot
ratio (ppr)). It has a 38,426 sq ft site
area and a 2.8 plot ratio, which means
an allowable gross floor area (GFA) of
107,593 sq ft for the new project. The
redevelopment can have 142 units of
753 sq ft on average.
Savills Singapore is brokering the
collective sale. Owing to the site’s high
development baseline, the buyer does
not have to pay development charges.
Minbu Villa was completed in 1981.
The tender for the District 11 property
will close on April 17.
Lotus at Jervois sold en bloc for $46.3 milThe freehold, 20-unit Lotus @ Jervois on
Jervois Road was sold en bloc for $46.3
million ($1,683 psf ppr) on March 5.
According to an INLIS search, the ser-
viced apartment was owned by Pulau
Properties, which is believed to be linked
to entities controlled by the Lee family
of OCBC. EdgeProp understands that the
buyer is likely to redevelop the property.
This follows the sale of another The
Lotus Sanctuary-branded property. In
July 2017, Singapore-listed property
developer Oxley Holdings bought the
freehold Lotus @ Pasir Panjang for $121
million ($964 psf ppr). The 89,620 sq
ft site will be redeveloped into the 150-
unit The Verandah Residences.
CDL previews The Tapestry at TampinesSingapore property giant City Develop-
ments held the preview (right) for the
861-unit, 99-year leasehold The Tapestry
at Tampines Avenue 10, over the week-
end of March 10 and 11. The project will
be launched on March 24.
Prices started from $596,000 for a
441 sq ft, one-bedroom unit, and $2.1
million for a 1,765 sq ft, five-bedroom,
dual-key-with-study unit. Four-bedroom;
four-bedroom, dual key; and five-bed-
room, dual-key-with-study units will
have private lifts.
The project comprises seven 15-sto-
rey blocks. The facilities include a 100m
infinity pool, sunken tennis court, child-
care centre and pets’ pavilion.
Across the road from The Tapestry
is Chinese developer MCC Land’s 626-
unit The Alps Residences. According
to a market source, 25 units remain for
sale at The Alps Residences.
Lian Beng in buy-and-leaseback deal for OCN BuildingSingapore property company Lian
Beng Group announced on March 12
that it is acquiring OCN Building on
Joo Chiat Road in a buy-and-leaseback
deal, for $27 million plus Goods and
Services Tax.
The four-storey commercial building
with an attic and basement car park has
a GFA of 24,714 sq ft. It will be leased
back to vendor TTAT Investment for
five years from the completion date of
the acquisition, with an option to re-
new for another three years.
Perennial Real Estate buys Pontiac Land’s stake in The CapitolSingapore real estate and healthcare
company Perennial Real Estate Hold-
ings is acquiring joint-venture partner
and real estate company Pontiac Land’s
stake in The Capitol for $129.6 million.
As part of the sale and purchase
agreement, Perennial will pay back with
interest a $369 million loan that Ponti-
ac Land made to entities holding The
Capitol. Perennial will also make ancil-
lary payments of $3 million to Pontiac
Land’s hospitality entity, Patina Hotels
and Resorts.
The Capitol is a mixed-use develop-
ment on Stamford Road in Singapore’s
civic and cultural district. It includes a
residential component, the 39-unit Eden
Residences Capitol, the 157-unit bou-
tique hotel The Patina, Capitol Singa-
pore, luxury retail component Capitol
Piazza and the Capitol Theatre.
Singapore has strong short-term momentum and is future-proof: JLLSingapore was one of two cities that
scored high in terms of short-term so-
cio-economic and commercial real es-
tate momentum as well as future-proof-
ing attributes, according to JLL Global
Research’s City Momentum Index 2018.
The other city was Seattle.
Singapore’s stronger short-term mo-
mentum for 2018 was partly owing to
increasing corporate demand for office
space, spurred by rising global trade lev-
els, notes JLL. Net absorption for office
space in the CBD reached the highest
level in 11 quarters in 4Q2017, while
full-year net absorption was more than
double of 2016, according to an earlier
report by JLL.
Twenty-five Asia-Pacific cities made
the global top 30 rankings for the Short-
Term Momentum component, based on
attributes such as recent and project-
ed changes in GDP and population, as
well as office net absorption and office
rents. The Asia-Pacific cities that made
the list include Hyderabad (1st), Ban-
galore (2nd), Ho Chi Minh City (3rd)
and Hanoi (6th).
However, Asian cities did not rank
high in terms of future economic strength
and real estate momentum in the longer
term, based on attributes measured by
the index, which included education and
public transport infrastructure. North
American cities such as San Fransisco
and Silicon Valley scored highest in the
Future-Proofing component.

APAC Realty partners MLN Overseas to serve Chinese property buyersSingapore-listed real estate services pro-
vider APAC Realty, which operates a real
estate brokerage under the ERA Real-
ty brand, is partnering Chinese real es-
tate firm MLN Overseas (Singapore) to
provide Chinese property buyers with
after-sale services on their purchases
in Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia.
This involves helping Chinese buy-
ers to lease out or resell their properties
in these countries. “We have more than
1,000 units in Malaysia and more than
400 in Thailand waiting to be leased
out or resold,” says Juliet Zhu, pres-
ident and executive director of MLN
Overseas (Singapore).
These units are in projects such as
Forest City by Hong Kong-listed Country
Garden Holdings and Malaysian partner
Esplanade Danga 88, and the 672-unit
The Excel Hideaway Sukhumvit 71 in
Bangkok, developed by Thai property
company All Inspire Development.
“We are also receiving more enquir-
ies from Chinese buyers about Singa-
pore properties,” Zhu comments. “As
such, we look forward to working close-
ly with ERA Singapore, Malaysia and
Thailand,” she adds.
Ucommune merges with Woo Space Chinese co-working operators Ucommune
and Woo Space announced their merger
on March 13. This involves Ucommune
buying the latter, which has 23 locations
in China occupying a total area of 1.08
million sq m and more than 700 mem-
ber enterprises.
This will bring Ucommune’s valua-
tion to US$1.7 billion ($2.23 billion) and
increase its count of individual mem-
bers to an estimated 200,000.
Founded in 2015, Woo Space’s in-
vestors include US-China venture cap-
ital firm Matrix Partners China.
Top Capital Group to launch Birmingham project Arden GateHong Kong property developer Top Cap-
ital Group will be launching its 225-
unit, 150-year leasehold Birmingham
project Arden Gate (above, right) at the
Four Seasons Hotel Singapore, over the
weekend of March 17 and 18.
Units include one- and two-bedroom
apartments and two-bedroom duplexes of
between 486 and 861 sq ft. Prices range
from £182,950 ($333,964) to £333,950.
Arden Gate occupies a 0.55ha site on
William Street in Birmingham’s city cen-
tre. It is slated for completion in 4Q2019.
Oxley Holdings to sell office block lease at Dublin LandingsOxley Holdings is in the final round of
negotiations to sell a 300-year lease of
an eight-storey waterfront office building
(Block D1) at mixed-use project Dub-
lin Landings. It is jointly developing
the €835 million ($1.36 billion) Dub-
lin Landings with Irish property firm
Ballymore.
Oxley bought a 300-year lease on the
2.35ha Dublin Landings site from Irish
state-funded property company Nation-
al Asset Management Agency (NAMA)
in December 2014. Located next to the
new headquarters of the Central Bank
of Ireland, Dublin Landings will have
700,000 sq ft of Grade-A office and re-
tail space and 273 luxury apartments
when completed.
Construction of Block D1 is slated
for completion in May 2018. NAMA has
leased all 220,000 sq ft of space within
Block D1 for the next 25 years. The oth-
er office blocks (D2, A, B and E) will be
progressively completed between May
2018 and 2Q2020. Oxley says it plans to
sell all five office blocks. — Compiled

Ole Scheeren’s DUO harmony| BY BONG XIN YING |
Ole Scheeren, principal architect of his eponymous
architectural firm, looked impeccable in a dark suit
and crisp white shirt as he emerged from DUO Tow-
er, part of an integrated development on Beach Road,
which he designed.
The $4 billion DUO integrated development was com-
pleted last year by M+S, a joint-venture (JV) company set
up by sovereign wealth funds Khazanah Nasional of Malay-
sia and Singapore’s Temasek Holdings. DUO comprises the
49-storey DUO Residences, with 660 units, and the 39-storey
DUO Tower, which contains Grade-A offices and Andaz Sin-
gapore, a 342-room luxury hotel. In the evenings, the devel-
opment stands out in the skyline when its honeycomb shad-
ing system is lighted.
For Scheeren, the most important part of a development is
its community space. Hence, the central feature of DUO is its
landscaped plaza. “The intention had always been to create
something beautiful and to give the space back to the public,”
explains the 47-year-old. “It was never to create a gated com-
munity but an active and exciting urban centre.”
DUO Galleria features retail and F&B outlets, including Pe-
ruvian restaurant Tono Cevicheria, the Italian-inspired Erwin’s
Gastrobar, as well as So France gourmet grocery and bistro.
The entire development is linked to the Bugis MRT station,
which is an interchange for the Downtown and East-West Lines.
Scheeren points to the two towers. “Look up,” he says.
“With every step, something completely different happens —
the towers seem to come towards each other and sometimes,
they move away.” The two towers were designed with this
harmonious, fluid movement in mind, as though engaged in

a dance. It is symbolic of the relationship between the two JV
partners, Singapore and Malaysia. The site that DUO sits on
was one of the parcels that were part of the historic land swap
deal between the two countries.
Besides fluidity in architectural design, what was important
for Scheeren was the openness and connectivity between the
two towers. To him, it was important to have a sense of space
— whether moving from the central plaza to the lobbies of the
office tower or the residential tower.
When DUO Residences was launched in late 2013, it saw
strong sales. So far, the project is close to 97% sold. Only 20
units are available, with prices ranging from $3.8 million to
$6.5 million, or from $2,200 psf. About 70% of the buyers
are Singaporeans, according to an M+S spokesperson. The
remainder are from China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia,
and even the US.
DUO is not Scheeren’s first project in Singapore. His maid-
en development was the 1,040-unit The Interlace, developed
by a consortium led by CapitaLand. Completed in 2013, The
Interlace is notable for its 31 blocks stacked in a hexagonal
arrangement. The development won the World Building of
the Year award in 2015 — the top prize at the World Archi-
tecture Festival.
In Bangkok, Scheeren designed MahaNakhon, a 77-storey
skyscraper that is the tallest building in Thailand today.
He shot to stardom when he designed the iconic CCTV head-
quarters in Beijing while he was at OMA, or Office for Met-
ropolitan Architecture. He left OMA in 2010 to set up his own
studio, Büro Ole Scheeren. Besides the CCTV HQ, Scheeren
also designed the Guardian Art Centre, a cultural complex in
Beijing that was recently completed.
Scheeren grew up in Karlsruhe, a city in southwest Germa-
ny, before he left home at the age of 21. He has been in Asia
ever since, but he hopes to return to Europe someday.
When it comes to architecture, Scheeren believes in devel-
oping a sense of space. “Architecture is not an abstract mat-
ter,” he says. “We craft places where ideas come alive, and
which become an integral part of people’s lives. That’s what
we hope to achieve with DUO.”

IOI Properties Group (IOI Prop) has terminated its agreement
with Hongkong Land International Holdings Ltd to jointly
develop and manage a land parcel on Central Boulevard in
Singapore.
The termination is owing to the “non-fulfilment of cer-
tain conditions precedent”, says IOI Prop. This confirms a re-
port by The Edge Malaysia in its Feb 26 issue that said some
conditions precedent in the contract remained pending at the
time of writing.
The process of obtaining longer-term financing also hit a
snag, the weekly reported, quoting sources.
But in another report in its March 12 issue, The Edge Ma-
laysia said the developer was believed to have reached long-
term financing deals with five banks amounting to $1.6 billion.
The five banks are DBS Bank, United Overseas Bank, Bank
of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, OCBC and Sumitomo Mitsui Bank-
ing Corp. That leaves another $300 million in financing that
is being negotiated with Bank of China, people familiar with
the matter were quoted as saying.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia on March 13, IOI Prop said
the termination would not impact the development of the Cen-
tral Boulevard site. This is because the group has sufficient in-
depth expertise, financial capabilities and track record of oth-
er completed projects in Singapore, it said.
The group added that the termination is also not expect-
ed to have any material impact on its earnings per share and
net asset per share.
The group had announced in November 2016 that its unit,
Wealthy Link Pte Ltd, had successfully tendered for the Cen-
tral Boulevard site for $2.57 billion. Wealthy Link reportedly
paid a deposit of RM2.4 billion for the land.
The plan was to build two office towers with 1.26 million
sq ft of leasable space and a retail podium of about 30,000 sq
ft on the 1.1ha site located in Marina Bay and the Central Busi-
ness District of Singapore.
IOI Prop said on March 13 Wealthy Link obtained provi-
sional permission from URA in February to commence devel-
opment works on the land. “The tender for the piling works
has been awarded and construction has already commenced,”
the group said.
In its November 2016 announcement, IOI Prop said URA re-
quired developers to complete their projects within 84 months,
or seven years.
Should any tender conditions be breached, including miss-
ing the completion deadline, URA may repossess the land, the
group said, adding that any payments made to URA may also
be forfeited in that scenario.
IOI Prop’s share price closed down one sen, or 0.55%, at
RM1.81 on March 13. It has a market capitalisation of RM10.02
billion ($3.36 billion).

Office rents on the rise as leasing activity picks up
Prime office rents are advancing
steadily at the moment, with
many landlords becoming in-
creasingly bullish about the
medium term. Asking rates
per month for top-grade prime of-
fice buildings now average $12.50
to $13 psf, with many of the premi-
um buildings quoting the same rates.
Bottom-line effective rates now range
between $11 and $12 psf.
At Raffles Place, effective rents
now average $8.50 to $10 psf, except
at buildings such as 6 Battery Road,
Ocean Financial Centre (OFC) and
OUE Bayfront, where rents are clos-
er to $12 psf. On the fringe of Raf-
fles Place, rents range from $7.50 to
$9.50 psf. Rates at Robinson Road/
Shenton Way are also firming up be-
cause there has been so much activ-
ity. Before, there was ample choice
for premises leased around $6.50
psf, but now options range from $7
to $8.50 psf.
Tanjong Pagar has quite a wide
spread of rates, with effective rents
ranging from $6.50 to $8.50 psf.
Beach Road-Marina Bay-Suntec has
the widest spread of all locations,
ranging from $6.50 to $6.80 psf ef-
fective for The Concourse and The
Gateway to $12 psf for Centennial
Tower and Millenia Tower. In the
medium range, there is Suntec City,
where rent is around $8.50 psf, and
DUO Tower, where rent is from $9
psf, depending on size.
Orchard Road sees very little fluc-
tuation because leasing activity is lim-
ited. Again, the spread is quite wide
in this location, ranging from $6.50
to $10 psf, because the age and type
of buildings here vary a lot. Thom-
son Road-Novena is good value at
between $7 and $8 psf.
New space taken up by large usersSingapore’s office market has been
busy over the last six months, with
many large space users committing
to space, moving before supply be-
comes more restricted in 2019. The
next wave of new supply will become
available only in 2020/21, which has
spurred demand in the current market.
All new developments are filling
up quicker than anticipated. Some
tenants are coming from unexpected
sources and schemes such as Paya
Lebar Quarter have been the bene-
ficiaries. PLQ, which has an area of
883,000 sq ft, is currently 50% com-
mitted, some nine months before the
targeted completion in 4Q2018.
The big news is that SMRT Corp
plans to relocate its headquarters
from City Hall-North Bridge Road
to PLQ and take up three floors to-
talling about 100,000 sq ft. A large
multinational insurance company
has committed to take up four floors
in Tower 3, amounting to more than
120,000 sq ft. Tower 3 is therefore
fully leased.
The other new developments
continue to secure major tenants.
Frasers Tower recently leased five
floors (amounting to 125,000 sq ft)
to Total Oil Asia-Pacific, as well as
space to China Construction. Law
firm Rajah & Tann, which currently
occupies around 85,000 sq ft over 10
floors in MYP Centre, will be relo-
cating to Marina One in 2019. Mean-
while, oil and gas giant Chevron has
leased 73,000 sq ft at DUO Tower.
Co-working — expansion to continueThe expansion of co-working space
operators has been quite phenome-
nal, and WeWork is fast becoming
one of the largest occupiers of office
space in Singapore. It is already the
largest occupier of office space in
London and is targeting to secure a
portfolio of office space in Singapore
of more than 300,000 sq ft within the
next two years.
WeWork launched in Singapore
only five months ago in Beach Cen-
tre, occupying 30,000 sq ft. Since
then, it has secured 60,000 sq ft of
space at 71 Robinson Road as well
as committed to taking up two floors
at Suntec Tower Five. It will also be
taking up four floors totalling 30,000
sq ft at China Square Central; 34,000
sq ft spanning four floors at City
House and 20,000 sq ft on a single
floor at Mapletree Anson. WeWork
has even pre-leased 40,000 sq ft at
CapitaLand’s mixed-use commercial
development Funan.
WeWork is planning to open one
new location every three months over
the next 1½ years. Each location will
have a typical floor area of 30,000 sq
ft. Its space at each location is usu-
ally taken up within three months of
opening, which goes to show how
successful this concept is.
Another co-working space opera-
tor, The Great Room, recently opened
its new space at Centennial Tower,
while Collision 8 has expanded, tak-
ing up two whole floors at 79 Anson
Road in addition to their flagship at
High Street Centre.
Landlords jump inThe proliferation of co-working space
operators in Singapore is unprecedent-
ed. The rate of growth is set to con-
tinue and it seems that almost every
other building has either a business
centre or co-working premises, or
sometimes both.
Some landlords are planning to
provide such space directly with-
in their own new schemes. For in-
stance, PLQ is setting aside 15% of
its office space to co-working/ser-
viced offices. This would amount to
around 100,000 sq ft.
With so many operators expand-
ing into this market, when will it
reach saturation point? Ultimately,

some consolidation is expected, but
for the moment, there seems to be
no end to this phenomenon.
The amount of space these
co-working space operators has com-
mitted to has had a significant effect
on the overall take-up.
Limited supply of large office space at Raffles PlaceLimited supply of large office spaces
at Raffles Place has restricted leasing
activity to small and medium-sized
deals. CapitaGreen has attracted sev-
eral big names, including Dow Jones
(relocating from International Plaza)
and M&G Investments (from Marina
Bay Financial Centre).
New tenants at OUE Bayfront in-
clude oil and gas firm Novatek, Amer-
ican hedge fund BlueCrest Capital
Management and hearing aid firm
Amplifon Asia Pacific.
One Raffles Place has been par-
ticularly busy. At Tower 2, IT firm
Cloudera leased 18,000 sq ft over
two floors. Immigration@SG moved
into Tower 1, along with Ramsay
Health Care, which will be moving
in from OFC.
New tenants to OFC include com-
pliance and regulatory adviser Duff
& Phelps (from Chevron House) as
well as consulting firm Roland Berg-
er (from OUE Bayfront). Republic
Plaza is offering competitive deals
and the latest tenant there is online
travel specialist Sojern Asia.
At Marina Bay, activity is still
strong. Asia Square recently saw new
tenants, namely Resona Merchant
Bank (formerly known as AFC Mer-
chant Bank), My United Traders and
consulting firm Booz Allen & Ham-
ilton. SEO (search engine optimisa-
tion) tool providers Ahrefs has leased
space at Marina One East Tower.
Attractive deals in secondary CBD office spaceThe Robinson Road-Shenton Way
area has been offering some very
attractive deals, which has tempt-
ed many tenants. Robinson 77 has
leased space to Pirelli Asia (which
moved from Keck Seng Tower) as
well as one floor to communications
consultant Watatawa and two floors
to NTUC Link.
Property developer Singhaiyi
Group, marine shipping company
Grace Ocean and international game
developer Wargaming Asia have
moved into OUE Downtown 1. Mean-
while, OUE Downtown 2 has secured
chemicals firm LSH Industrial Solu-
tions Singapore as a new tenant. Vi-
tamin and supplement brand Black-
mores International has moved from
OCBC Centre to SBF Centre, while
Midea Electric Trading has leased a
floor at 158 Cecil Street.
Tanjong Pagar is still the most
competitive location and has seen
healthy activity. French media firm
Publicis Groupe is leasing one whole
floor at Mapletree Anson. Collision 8
has expanded to lease two floors at
79 Anson Road totalling 22,000 sq ft.
Companies that have moved into
Fuji Xerox Tower include Dutch dairy
co-operative FrieslandCampina Sin-
gapore as well as Krones-Izumi, a
beverage processing company. Mel-
aka’s Kuala Linggi International Port
oil facility and investment manager
Essential Capital has moved into AXA
Tower. Recent tenants at 78 Shenton
Way include executive search firm
Orion Consulting and building ma-
terials supplier USG Boral.
Relocations in CBD fringe areaCarlson Wagonlit, one of the larger
tenants that needed to relocate from
Hub Synergy Point, has moved into
one whole floor at Parkview Square.
E-payment firm Ingenico has ex-
panded significantly at The Gate-
way. Other new tenants here include
card printer Datacard and European
distributor of paper and packaging
solutions Antalis.
Suntec City is always busy.
Co-working space operator UCom-
mune (formerly known as Ur Work)
has leased a floor at Tower 2. Oth-
er new tenants include energy trad-
er Mabanaft, cybersecurity software
firm Fortinet, investment manage-
ment firm Infinite Demarco, media
and events start-up Tech in Asia and
software company MuleSoft.
Shadow space provides opportunity While all the new developments are
making most of the headline deals,
the smart money could be looking
at what shadow space is coming up.
Shadow space is space that is often
not on the open market but is avail-
able at a future date as a result of all
those major relocations.
There will be quite a variety of
buildings that will have substantial
space becoming available as a result
of their anchor tenant moving. Some
of these buildings with smaller floor
plates will suit tenants with smaller
space requirements.
Substantial space could be availa-
ble at One Marina Boulevard when
Microsoft relocates to Frasers Tower
in 2019. At OFC, several floors will
be available in August as a result of
Australia and New Zealand Bank-
ing Group’s right-sizing. MYP Cen-
tre could also have substantial space
available from 2019 when Rajah &
Tann moves to Marina One.
Market forecastOver the next 12 months, we predict
that prime office rates will increase
8% to 10%, owing to sustained de-
mand and declining supply. Industries
that continue to grow the strongest
include IT, fintech, energy, private
wealth management and, of course,
co-working space operators.
The secondary market has not
suffered as much as expected, and
while some buildings see large unused
space as a result of anchor tenants
relocating, the occupancy rate in this
category is still relatively high. Rent-
al growth in this segment is likely to
be more modest until supply tight-
ens further. We still expect rates to
firm around 5% to 7%.
The CBD fringe locations have seen
less activity compared with other lo-
cations. We expect rates to be flat in
this segment for the next 12 months,
although supply is just beginning to
show the first signs of contraction.

| BY CECILIA CHOW |
Listed Australian property giant
Lendlease intends to open the
show suite of Park Place Res-
idences for public preview on
March 24, with the launch of
Phase Two of the project slated for
April 7.
When the first phase of Park
Place Residences was launched in
March last year, 210 units were sold
in a single day at an average price
of $1,800 psf. It marked a record
achievement in an otherwise un-
tested area that the Singapore gov-
ernment had designated as a new
commercial district called Paya Leb-
ar Central in 2008.
Tony Lombardo, Lendlease CEO
for Asia, attributes the success of
Phase One of Park Place Residences
to a number of factors, primarily pent-
up demand and the fact that it is part
of Paya Lebar Quarter (PLQ), a fully
integrated development.
“Discerning homebuyers and in-
vestors recognise the value proposi-
tion of superior connectivity, green
spaces, convenience and quality that
Park Place Residences offers as part
of the PLQ integrated development,”
says Tan Tee Khoon, Knight Frank
head of residential project marketing.
Besides the 429-unit Park Place
Residences spanning three 17-sto-
rey towers, the $3.2 billion PLQ will
have a six-storey mall with more
than 200 shops, three Grade-A office
towers with close to a million sq ft
of space and 100,000 sq ft of public
landscaped space, which Lombar-
do says is equivalent to 20 basket-
ball courts.
The entire development will be
linked directly to the Paya Lebar
MRT interchange station for the Cir-
cle and East-West Lines. “It is six
stops from the CBD and six stops
to Changi Airport,” says Lombardo.
The office towers are already more
than 50% leased, and tenants include
SMRT Corp. Even the mall, which
has 340,000 sq ft of retail space, is
more than 50% taken up, with new
tenant Shaw Theatres joining other
anchor tenants FairPrice Finest su-
permarket and Kopitiam food court.
Park Place sets the paceThe second phase of 219 units at
Park Place Residences will be priced
about 5% higher than the units sold
in the first phase, says Lendlease’s
Lombardo. There are 43 one-bed-
room units of 480 to 580 sq ft, with
prices starting from $900,000. Anoth-
er 110 units are two-bedroom apart-
ments of 650 to 900 sq ft that start
from $1.15 million. The remaining 66
units are three-bedroom apartments
of 1,080 to 1,350 sq ft that start from
$1.8 million.
“Looking at the past year’s price
trend, coupled with the positive mar-
ket sentiment and recovery, the price
adjustment is compelling in the light
of potential price escalation in future
projects,” notes Alice Tan, Knight
Frank Singapore head of consultan-
cy and research.
When Lendlease purchased the
99-year leasehold site in a govern-
ment land sale tender for $1.67 bil-
lion, or $943 psf per plot ratio (ppr),
in March 2015, it was considered a
bullish bid. Each subsequent GLS
site has been sold at a higher psf
ppr price since, says Lombardo. Last
June, a joint venture between Singa-
pore Press Holdings and Kajima De-
velopment submitted a top bid for a
mixed-use site at Bidadari of $1.13
billion, or $1,181 psf ppr.
“We believe that prices can only
head north in the days ahead in the
light of firmer economic growth,
brighter business prospects and strong-
er demand for property this year,”
says Knight Frank’s Tan. “Integrat-
ed developments always command
Price reset seen islandwide With land costs on an upward trend — fuelled by bid prices at both government land tenders and en bloc sales — new project launches such as Park Place Residences test new highs
Park Place Residences will open its show suite to the public on March 24 and launch on April 7
The second phase of 219 units at Park Place Residences will be priced about 5% higher than the units sold in the first phase, says Lombardo

a higher premium over pure residen-
tial developments in the long term.”
Future prices in Eunos — $1,700-$1,800 psfThe increase in land prices will natu-
rally lead to a repricing of residential
property, notes Shaun Poh, Cushman &
Wakefield’s executive director of capi-
tal markets. In late February, the Minis-
try of National Development increased
the development charge (DC) rate for
non-landed residential use from March
1 to Aug 31 by an average of 22.8%. It
was the highest increase in a decade.
In the neighbourhood of Eunos,
near Paya Lebar Central, Fragrance
Group paid $220 million for Eunos
Mansion on March 9. The price of
the en bloc purchase translates into
$1,118 psf ppr. The deal was bro-
kered by Cushman & Wakefield. Poh
reckons the break-even price is likely
to be $1,500 to $1,600 psf, with the
future selling price of the new pro-
ject pegged at $1,700 psf or higher.
Another upcoming development
in Eunos is on the site of the priva-
tised HUDC estate Eunosville. It was
sold en bloc to MCL Land last June
for $765.78 million, which reflected
a land rate of $909 psf ppr, includ-
ing a development premium for in-
tensifying the land use and topping
up the lease to 99 years.
The new development on the site
of Eunosville will have 1,399 condo-
minium units and five shops. It is like-
ly to be launched towards year-end.
Based on the land rate of $909
psf ppr, the break-even price is es-
timated to be $1,400 to $1,500 psf
and the launch price is likely to be
$1,700 to $1,800 psf, says Alex Oh,
executive director of OrangeTee Ad-
visory. OrangeTee was the market-
ing agent for Eunosville.
“The site is located just next to the
Eunos MRT station and one stop from
the Paya Lebar MRT interchange,” he
says. “Park Place Residences at PLQ
will set the benchmark for the area.”
Neighbouring launches benefitThe repricing taking place in the mi-
crocosm of Paya Lebar-Eunos-Sims
Drive-Geylang East is a reflection of
what is happening across most parts
of Singapore, notes Tan Hong Boon,
JLL regional director. “If you look at
en bloc prices achieved in the Am-
ber Road-Meyer Road area of $1,400
to $1,500 psf ppr, future projects on
these sites are likely to be launched
at prices above $2,000 psf,” he says.
“In the Bukit Timah area, land pric-
es of $1,800 to $1,900 psf ppr will
lead to new projects being launched
at $2,700 to $2,800 psf. In the prime
districts, new projects will take their
cue from New Futura, where prices
have already crossed $3,500 psf.”
Cushman & Wakefield’s Poh is
of the same view. “There is no huge
pipeline,” he says. “Developers are
timing their launches, and even those
projects that were launched last year
or earlier are adjusting their selling
prices upwards.”
A case in point is TRE Residences
at Geylang East Avenue 1. The devel-
opers of the 250-unit, 99-year lease-
hold condo took the opportunity to
relaunch the project last year when
the first phase of Park Place Resi-
dences made its debut in March last
year. Developed by Sustained Land,
Greatview Development and MCC
Land, TRE Residences is located next
to the Aljunied MRT station and one
stop from the Paya Lebar interchange.
Following the relaunch, all the units
have been sold, at prices ranging from
$1,360 to $1,540 psf, according to ca-
veats lodged in January and February.
Just a short drive from Paya Leb-
ar Central is GuocoLand’s 1,024-unit
Sims Urban Oasis on Sims Drive.
The project was completed last year,
and only 30 units are still available
for sale. The developer is pricing
the remaining units at higher prices
of $1,400 to $1,600 psf, compared
with the average price of $1,395 psf
achieved for units sold.
Biggest en bloc in the areaEn bloc sales have also led to an es-
calating increase in land prices and
prices at new launches. However,
JLL’s Tan sees prices in the subur-
ban region stabilising. “It’s simply
because prices have run up in the
past year,” he says.
This has not dampened sentiment
in the en bloc market, though. Two
MRT stops from Paya Lebar Central is
Windy Heights on Jalan Daud in Kem-
bangan. The private residential estate
with 192 apartments, eight penthous-
es and two commercial units sits on
a freehold land area of 250,702 sq ft.
The price tag on the collective sale site
is $806.2 million, or $1,288 psf ppr. If
the 10% bonus gross floor area (GFA)
for balconies is included, the land rate
would be $1,171 psf ppr.
The tender for Windy Heights
will close on April 18. If sold, it will
be the biggest en bloc sale done this
year, says Ian Loh, Knight Frank head
of investment and capital markets,
who is marketing the property. Loh
also brokered the collective sale of
Goodluck Garden, which was sold to
Qingjian Realty on March 9 for $610
million, the largest en bloc sale in
terms of absolute price so far this year.
If the sale price of Windy Heights
is achieved, the new development is
likely to be priced at $1,800 to $2,000
psf, estimates Loh. He attributes this
to its freehold tenure.
City Plaza attempts collective saleLocated just across the road from PLQ
is City Plaza, a mixed-use develop-
ment with 465 strata retail units and
66 apartments that was built in 1981.
The strata owners in the freehold de-
velopment are now attempting an en
bloc sale. An extraordinary general
meeting was held on March 14 to de-
termine the reserve price and share
apportionment, according to Derrick
Chan, the chairman of the collective
sale committee at City Plaza.
Two strata retail units on the third
floor of City Plaza were sold in Jan-
uary: a 248 sq ft unit for $888,000
($3,587 psf) and a 226 sq ft unit for
$881,400 ($3,899 psf), according to
caveats lodged. The last transaction
of an apartment at City Plaza was
in April last year, when a 915 sq ft
unit on the 16th floor was sold for
$938,000 ($1,025 psf). “The City Pla-
za site is zoned for commercial de-
velopment,” says Chan. “It can be
redeveloped into a Grade-A office
development or a hotel.”
Another ageing mixed-use develop-
ment is Chinatown Plaza, whose en
bloc sale could be a catalyst for similar
developments to take the same route.
“Sometimes, all you need is for one
successful deal to boost everyone’s
expectations,” says OrangeTee’s Oh.
The tender for Chinatown Plaza,
located at the junction of Craig Road
and Neil Road in the CBD, closed on
March 15. It has a price tag of $270
million, or $1,989 psf of GFA, and is
being marketed by Edmund Tie & Co.
For now, positive sentiment and
increased market activity are likely
to continue, buoyed by sales of en
bloc and GLS sites, says Ong Choon
Fah, CEO of Edmund Tie & Co.
Cushman & Wakefield’s Poh agrees.
What could dampen housing demand
is if interest rates climb too steeply, he
adds. “However, the increase seems
to be gradual for now.”

UNDER THE HAMMER

Second unit at Turquoise put upfor mortgagee sale this year| BY TIMOTHY TAY |
A 2,411 sq ft, four-bedroom
unit at Sentosa Cove condo-
minium Turquoise will be
put up for mortgagee sale
at Knight Frank’s auction
on March 20. The unit on the fourth
floor has a guide price of $3.55 million
($1,472 psf) to $3.7 million ($1,535
psf). If it goes under the hammer, it
will mark the fifth successful mort-
gagee sale at Sentosa Cove since the
start of 2017.
The 91-unit Turquoise has seen
13 transactions over the past five
years, of which seven were mortga-
gee sales. The most recent one in-
volved the unit next to the subject
unit. The 2,433 sq ft unit was auc-
tioned for $3.59 million ($1,476 psf)
on Jan 29. It was purchased at $6.29
million ($2,586 psf) in 2007, accord-
ing to URA caveat data.
A mortgagee sale refers to a prop-
erty that is put up for sale by a bank
to recover the remainder of a loan
from a borrower who has stopped
making loan repayments to the lend-
er. The most recent mortgagee sale
of a Sentosa Cove condo unit was
that of a duplex penthouse at The
Berth by The Cove, which was sold
on Feb 28. The 2,939 sq ft unit was
auctioned at $3.25 million ($1,105
psf), $2.39 million (42%) less than
the previous owner’s $5.64 million
($1,919 psf) purchase price in 2011.
Pent-up demand and palatable
property prices at Sentosa Cove have
resulted in a resurgence in buying in-
terest in residential properties in the
exclusive island enclave, says Sha-
ron Lee, head of auction at Knight
Frank. Potential buyers find that cur-
rent prices at Sentosa Cove are in-
creasingly attractive compared with
the prices of luxury condo units in
the prime districts and on the out-
skirts of the CBD. The psf price of
non-landed property in Sentosa is be-
tween $1,500 and $1,600 now, and
a home in Sentosa offers a more lei-
surely and tranquil lifestyle com-
pared with one near the CBD, she
says. Singaporeans’ perception of
Sentosa Cove is now more positive,
and they are willing to buy a home
there, she adds.
Eight prospective buyers attend-
ed the weekend preview of the sub-
ject unit at Turquoise held on March
10 and 11. Most of them are Singa-
poreans or permanent residents,
and more than one are looking to
purchase the unit as a home, says
Noelle Tan of Knight Frank, who is
handling the sale. The south-facing
unit has a view of the marina and
three en-suite bedrooms as well as
wet and dry kitchens. Based on a ca-
veat lodged, the unit was purchased
for $6.18 million ($2,539 psf) in 2007.
It is the first time the property is be-
ing sold in a mortgagee sale.
Many owners at Turquoise bought
their units at the peak of the last
property boom, says Lee. However,
she believes that owners with great-
er holding power are now less like-
ly to relinquish their unit in a mort-
gagee sale.
Prices for non-landed residential
properties at Sentosa Cove are expect-
ed to increase 5% to 10% by year-
end, and owners who can afford to
hold on to their properties are like-
ly to wait for prices to climb higher
before putting them on the market,
says Lee. However, rising interest
rates in the future may temper de-
mand and this will have a larger ef-
fect on buyers in the mass-market
segment, she cautions.
The auction, which will be held
at Amara Singapore on March 20,
will feature two other properties on
mortgagee sale. They are a 3,755 sq
ft, five-bedroom townhouse at the 99-
year leasehold Palm Isles, which has
a guide price of $2.45 million ($652
psf); and a 1,959 sq ft, three-bed-
room duplex penthouse at the free-
hold Ventura View in Joo Chiat,
which has a guide price of $1.75 mil-
lion ($893 psf).
The 2,411 sq ft unit at Turquoise is south- facing and has views of the marina

SC Global unveils project in Niseko, Japan| BY LIN ZHIQIN |
Singapore-based luxury proper-
ty developer SC Global is set
to launch its first luxury pro-
ject in Japan later this year.
Named Setsu Niseko, the ho-
tel and residential development is lo-
cated in Niseko, a popular ski resort
in Hokkaido, Japan’s northernmost
prefecture.
According to SC Global, the pro-
ject represents its take on the ulti-
mate resort lifestyle and is expected
to set new benchmarks for design
and luxury living in Niseko. Locat-
ed on 2.54 acres of freehold land on
the Main Street of Grand Hirafu, the
biggest village in Niseko and its his-
toric heart, Setsu Niseko will com-
prise “over 150 exquisitely furnished
apartments” that will offer investors
a range of units ranging from stu-
dios to ultra-luxurious penthouses.
The site was purchased by SC Glob-
al last year for an undisclosed sum.
The development is flanked by
Mount Yotei, a scenic mountain also
known as the Mount Fuji of Hokkai-
do, and ski-haven Mount Annupuri,
according to SC Global. Hence, the
apartments will enjoy some of the
most magnificent uninterrupted vis-
tas that Niseko has to offer. “More
than [offering] a plush shelter from
the outside world, Setsu Niseko will
serve as cherished homes for its resi-
dents; a place in which to make mem-
ories amidst an inspiring natural land-
scape,” says SC Global.
Setsu Niseko is SC Global’s sec-
ond property in Japan. Its maiden
project was GINZA 12 — a 12-sto-
rey freehold commercial develop-
ment in Tokyo’s Ginza district. The
7,785 sq ft property is located close
to the Higashi Ginza Metro Station,
which sits at the intersection of two
major streets — Showa Dori and Ha-
rumi Dori. GINZA 12 has 13 leasa-
ble units — one on each floor and
the basement.
GINZA 12 is billed as a haven for
foodies, with 10 out of the 13 units
taken up by a curated selection of
F&B operators, including Kenji Taka-
hashi, the young up-and-coming
owner-chef of Michelin star restau-
rant Yoshifuku in Tokyo, which re-
ceived its first star in 2017. There is
also a restaurant by the team behind
sushi outlet Kamakura Izumi in Kan-
agawa prefecture, which received its
first Michelin star in 2013.
According to SC Global, other F&B
tenants include yakitori restaurant Ginza
Kashiwa, Ginza Sei Okoshi and Ginza
Kokage — which serve Japanese spe-
ciality cuisine — Sushi Benkei Umi as
well as a sake bar, steak bar, organic
restaurant and lounge bar. Two units
have been leased to spa and beauty
operators to complement the luxury
lifestyle positioning of the property.
The lease for the sole remaining unit
is currently under negotiation.
SC Global plans to continue ac-
quiring prime real estate in Japan to
ride the growing tourism market and
for geographical diversification.
Setsu Niseko will enjoy some of the most magnificent vistas that Niseko has to offer

PERSONALITY
| BY LIN ZHIQIN |
Amid the ongoing transformation
of the real estate industry, some
things have not changed. “Agents
still need to work hard and talk to peo-
ple,” says Pravin Kumar, who has 15
years’ experience as a property agent.
According to Kumar, who is associ-
ate marketing director at Huttons Asia,
one of the best ways for agents to gain
clients is by expanding their social cir-
cle. “I love to socialise and meet people.
At the pub, café or restaurant, just chat
with people seated nearby,” he says.
“And I always tell them I’m an agent
and give them my name card.”
People are interested in real estate
and would always ask how the market
is doing, says Kumar, who is happy to
share his knowledge. “It’s okay if they
don’t want to buy or sell anything, as
long as they know I’m there for them
when they want to do so,” he adds.
Kumar’s advice to agents is to talk
to people. With transaction volumes
still sluggish, many agents have turned
to driving private-hire vehicles in their
spare time. “That’s a good chance to
connect with someone who could be-
come a client,” he says. Property agents
need to market themselves constantly
and “create some buzz”, he points out.
“Otherwise, how are you going to get
listings and buyers?”
Given the amount of information
available nowadays, clients have be-
come savvier. Many would-be buyers
would have researched the recent trans-
acted prices and rents at a condomin-
ium or its proximity to schools before
talking to an agent. Therefore, agents
have to work hard to equip themselves
with deeper knowledge, says Kumar.
“If you are doing rental in an area, you
must know it well. Don’t just list the
schools nearby. Find out and tell [pro-
spective buyers] what buses their chil-
dren can take to go to school and how
long it would take.”
Agents should also be well versed
in all aspects pertaining to real estate,
such as architecture, landscaping and
home appliances, notes Kumar. “If you
can tell buyers about the design, ma-
terials and brands used in the condo,
it creates a ‘feel good’ factor and helps
convince them that they are getting a
good unit for their money.”
As for those buying a property for
investment, “you have to work out the
rental yield for them and advise on the
types of units they should look at”, Ku-
mar says. Tenants are usually less con-
cerned about a unit’s orientation and
the heat from the afternoon sun as they
are out at work during the day, he adds.
Agents should study the businesses
in the surrounding area so as to advise
their investor clients on the profile of po-
tential tenants. “And experienced agents
will be able to advise on how long it
will take to rent out the unit,” he notes.
Connectivity to public transport is of-
ten the key to securing tenants quickly,
according to Kumar. “If there is no MRT
station or bus stop nearby, the take-up
will be slow and at a lower rent,” he
says. This has changed, however, with the
recent surge in popularity of bike-shar-
ing platforms such as Ofo and Mobike.
Kumar has observed that more tenants
are willing to rent units located further
away from MRT stations. “They say: ‘I
[cycle], so I don’t mind,’” he says. “The
sharing economy is benefiting the real
estate industry.”
Connectivity to public transport is often the key to securing tenants quickly, says Kumar

Alba is a 50-unit, luxury boutique
development by Far East Organi-
zation. Designed by US-based ar-
chitectural firm Arquitectonica, its
units are Y-shaped to maximise
space and views of the surrounding Cairn-
hill district. Each unit comes with private
lift access. Completed in 2015, the project
is more than 80% sold so far.
The latest transaction at the freehold Alba
was for a 1,905 sq ft, three-bedroom unit on
the second level. The unit changed hands
for $4.2 million ($2,204 psf) on March 1,
according to a caveat lodged then. The pre-
vious owner had paid $3.85 million ($2,021
psf) for the unit when the project was first
launched in October 2009.
This marks the first transaction in Alba
this year. The last transaction was in Au-
gust last year when a 2,110 sq ft, four-bed-
room unit on the 14th floor was sold for
$6.3 million ($2,986 psf). This is likely to
be a unit sold by the developer as there
was no prior caveat lodged.
The prime Cairnhill area is starting to see
transactions pick up. Most property consult-
ants reckon it is because of the successful
collective sale of Cairnhill Mansions on its
fifth attempt. It was sold to Singapore-listed
construction and property group Low Keng
Huat for $362 million ($2,311 psf) on Feb
14, in a deal brokered by CBRE.
Galven Tan, CBRE director of capital
markets, reckons that the new development
on the site of Cairnhill Mansions could be
launched at a price of at least $3,500 psf. “It
has also spurred both developer and inves-
tor interest in the prime districts,” he says.
Located on Cairnhill Circle, the 97-unit
Cairnhill Residences is the most tranquil
part of the area. The freehold condominium
was developed by Allgreen Properties and
completed in 2009. On March 1, a 1,173 sq
ft, three-bedroom unit changed hands for
$2.38 million ($2,029 psf). The unit was
purchased by the previous owner 11 years
ago for $2.02 million ($1,720 psf), accord-
ing to a caveat lodged in December 2006.
The recent transaction in early March
is the first this year at Cairnhill Residenc-
es. The last transaction was in September
last year, when a 1,173 sq ft, three-bed-
room unit on the 11th floor fetched $2.62
million ($2,231 psf).
Interest in The Light @ Cairnhill has
also picked up since late last year. In early
March, a 1,518 sq ft, three-bedroom unit
on the 13th floor changed hands for $3.28
million ($2,161 psf). That same unit went
for $2.95 million ($1,944 psf) in 2012.
Another unit at The Light @ Cairnhill
was sold for $3.88 million ($1,928 psf) in
February. The 2,013 sq ft, four-bedroom unit
went for $3.76 million ($1,869 psf) in April
2012. The 118-unit The Light @ Cairnhill
was developed by Wing Tai Holdings and
completed in 2004.

The sale of a four-bedroom unit at the
Glentrees condominium in District 10
was the most profitable transaction in the
week of Feb 27 to March 6. The 3,412 sq
ft unit was sold on March 1 for $3.9 mil-
lion ($1,143 psf). The unit was initially bought
for $1.59 million ($466 psf) in 2005. The seller
realised a $2.31 million (145%) profit on the sale
of the property, which translates into an annual
profit of 7% over a holding period of 12.7 years.
It is the most profitable transaction record-
ed at the condo in six years. In 2012, a 3,132
sq ft four-bedder was sold for a $2.31 million
(151%) profit. Profits at Glentrees have ranged
from $150,000 to $2.31 million across 13 trans-
actions in the past three years.
The 999-year leasehold Glentrees is located
on Mount Sinai Lane between Henry Park Prima-
ry School and Eunoia Junior College. The 176-
unit condo comprises eight five- storey blocks.
The unit mix includes 42 two- and three- storey
ground floor units and 42 loft units with roof
gardens. Units range from 1,346 to 3,671 sq
ft. The condo was developed by CapitaLand
and completed in 2005.
Also in District 10 is the 33-year-old, free-
hold condo Astridville, where the sale of a 2,217
sq ft maisonette was one of the most profita-
ble transactions during the week. It was pur-
chased in 2002 for $1.2 million (541 psf) and
changed hands for $3.2 million ($1,443 psf)
on Feb 28. The seller walked away with a $2
million (167%) profit, or an annual profit of
6% over a 16-year holding period. This is the
most profitable transaction recorded at the de-
velopment, based on the matching of caveats.
The 18-unit condo was completed in 1985
and comprises a mix of three-bedroom units
and maisonettes. Earlier this year, a 1,336 sq ft,
three-bedroom unit was sold for $3.25 million
($1,336 psf) on Feb 2. It was initially purchased
for $2.53 million ($1,040 psf) in 2007. The owner
made a $720,000 (28%) profit from the sale.
Another transaction that topped the list was
the sale of a 2,476 sq ft unit at Garden Apart-
ment on Orange Grove Road in District 10. It was
bought in 1999 for $2.05 million ($828 psf) and
was sold for $4.18 million ($1,688 psf) on Feb
28. The seller realised a $2.13 million (104%)
profit. The 20-unit Garden Apartment is a free-
hold condo that was completed in 1984 and is
across the road from Shangri-La Hotel.
Profits at Glentrees have ranged from $150,000 to $2.31 million across 13 transactions in the past three years

On the market is a 398 sq ft studio
apartment at the 65-unit, freehold
Heritage East on East Coast Road,
with an asking price of $590,000
($1,482 psf). “The second-floor
unit is a walk-up apartment in the conser-
vation shophouse component of Heritage
East,” says Niki Lim, marketing associate at
PropNex Realty, who is handling the sale. The
unit features a 3.8m floor-to-ceiling height
and double-glazed windows, notes Lim. Its
main door faces north-west, while the win-
dows face south-east.
According to Lim, the Singaporean own-
er is selling the unit as she is looking to up-
grade. “The owner spent a substantial amount
to renovate the unit in 2012. That involved
installing built-in carpentry and making the
windows more soundproof,” she says. This
would reduce the buyer’s expenditure on
renovations and furnishings, Lim reckons.
Located at the intersection of East Coast
Road and Telok Kurau Road, Heritage East
has a conservation shophouse component
that comprises a row of two-storey conser-
vation shophouses repurposed for residen-
tial use, as well as a contemporary housing
component — a separate five-storey block
with a contemporary façade.
The last time a unit of comparable size
on the same floor of Heritage East’s shop-
house component was sold was in October
2014, when a 355 sq ft unit fetched $550,000
($1,548 psf), according to URA caveat data. In
the same month, a 344 sq ft unit was transact-
ed at $602,000 ($1,748 psf).
Within walking distance of Heritage
East is the upcoming Marine Terrace MRT sta-
tion on the Thomson-East Coast Line, which
is slated to open in 2023. “The Thomson-East
Coast Line is likely to increase the appeal of
the area to tenants. Investors could rent out
the unit to those who want a place accessi-
ble from the city centre, but who prefer not
to pay the higher rental rates within the Core
Central Region,” says Lim.
Completed in January 2012, Heritage East
was developed by World Class Land, the
property development arm of jeweller As-
pial Corp. World Class Land also developed
the nearby 38-unit, freehold Palmera Resi-
dence and the 16-unit, freehold East Treas-
ure at Lorong N Telok Kurau.
Heritage East is located near the 185ha East
Coast Park and its 15km coastline, which is
popular with cycling and roller blading aficio-
nados. Within the park is the 1.4ha Xtreme
SkatePark, designed for skateboarding and
other extreme sports. It was developed by the
Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth
and the National Parks Board.
