Strong interest for Venture Avenue commercial site

SINGAPORE — A tender for the commercial site on Venture Avenue drew interest from nine contenders, with the top bid of S$701.1 million coming from Sim Lian Group. That translates to S$1,009 per sq ft per plot ratio and is 9 per cent more than the second highest bid.

Mr Desmond Sim, Associate Director of CBRE Research, noted that the top price set a new benchmark for suburban commercial land.

“The plot is located within Jurong Gateway, identified to be a key commercial hub in the West. URA’s concept plan provides for a mix of office, retail, residential, hotel, entertainment and F&B uses,” he said.
