Allgreen Properties, a leading property developer in Singapore, has made a significant move by securing the Zion Road Parcel B site through a successful bid of S$730.09 million, which equates to S$1,304 per square foot per plot ratio (psf ppr). This top bid emerged as the only offer during the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) tender closing on July 18, 2024, surpassing the government’s minimum bid of S$604.6 million. The Zion Road site, spanning approximately 99,953 square feet, is poised to become a high-end residential Promenade Peak development, expected to yield around 610 private residential units.

The strategic location of the Zion Road site near the Great World MRT station and the Great World City shopping mall makes it a highly attractive investment. The accessibility to public transportation and proximity to essential amenities will undoubtedly make it a desirable living space for future residents. The location adds significant value, providing an integrated lifestyle offering a blend of convenience, entertainment, and connectivity.

For Allgreen Properties, this acquisition aligns perfectly with the company’s ongoing development strategy. The developer is already established in the vicinity, and this site will complement their existing portfolio of properties in the area. This proximity to existing developments offers a unique opportunity to create a cohesive urban environment that can attract potential buyers seeking a well-connected, high-quality residential experience. It is likely that Allgreen will take advantage of the site’s potential to create a landmark development that enhances its reputation as a developer of choice for premium residential spaces.

However, despite the advantages the site offers, the limited interest from other developers during the tender process suggests a more cautious approach in the current market. This lack of competition could be seen as a sign of potential market hesitation, as developers weigh the economic climate and future growth prospects. While the property market in Singapore remains strong overall, developers are carefully considering the risks involved in new projects, especially in more competitive segments.

As the development of Zion Road Parcel B progresses, it is expected to contribute to the urban landscape by providing additional housing options in an area that is already experiencing significant growth. The new residential project will likely cater to the evolving demands of Singapore’s urban population, offering modern amenities and living spaces in a prime location. It will be interesting to see how the development integrates with the surrounding urban fabric and how it meets the needs of the community, offering a glimpse into the future of Singapore’s dynamic residential market.
