Table 1: Units Distribution

The unit distribution in Table 1 is based on the following reasons:

x According to our research, recent condominium projects receive high demands for
medium-sized units. These units are mostly two and three-bedroom compact units.
Experts conjure that the market responds well to such units due to the relatively
affordable quantum prices (Lee, 2013).

*!
!
!
#$%%&'(!
Experts also believe that for investors, medium-sized units are able to yield the
greatest rental yield and return on investment
(ROI). Therefore, two and three-bedroom units make up approximately 75% of the
total units in our development proposal.
x The land site is situated in the Central (District 10) area of Singapore. In Singapore,
District 10 carries the prestigious connotation of being a prestigious residential
district. District 10 comprises of Bukit Timah, Holland and Balmoral; all of which are
famous for its prestigious residential enclaves. To live up to this traditional
association and expectation of prestigious living, we decided to cater the type of units
to meet up to their expectations. These types include the Suites. Suite units are
GHVLJQHGWRJLYHRIIDQDLURISUHVWLJHYLDWKHXQLWV¶VSDFLRXVQHVVDQGYLHZV
x Prince Charles Crescent is situated in the junction of family-oriented and downtown
areas. Towards the Bukit Merah estate, family-oriented neighborhood is present, and
towards the Tiong Bahru estate, downtown-alike commercial activities can be found.
This implies that the range of each household in the area can be as small as one, and
as large as six. Based on this rationale, the proposed development incorporates one to
four-bedroom units. This ensures that the proposed development caters to a wider
target range.
x The development consists of shoebox apartments. Hartung analyses that there is an
upward trend towards the popularity of shoebox apartments (Today, 2013). It is
profitable to incorporate shoebox apartments in the development since they have
higher prices per unit area. Furthermore, properties are expensive in Singapore, hence
shoebox apartments are cheaper alternatives in a private residential market. Although
prospect buyers are paying a larger price per unit area, the overall cost is still cheaper.

4. Market Analysis

4.1 Macro Level

This segment of the report shows WKHDQDO\VLVRQ6LQJDSRUH¶VHFRQRPLFFRQGLWLRQs that will


have an impact on local property prices. Furthermore, it comprises the demand and supply
analysis on private residential properties in the country.

4.1.1 Economic Conditions

x 6LQJDSRUH¶VGross Development Product (GDP) measures its economic growth. The


GDP growth rate in the last quarter of 2013 reached 5.5% while for the whole of
2013, the economy grew by 4.1% according to the Ministry of Trade and Industry.
The GDP is expected to rise due to the recent increase in exports of petrochemicals
and pharmaceuticals. This expectation of an increase in GDP shows a favorable
condition towards the property market.
x In February 2014, inflation rate reached a 4-year low since January 2010, at 0.4% due
to a large drop in car prices.
x The unemployment rate has remained fairly stable from January 2010 with current
unemployment rate staying low on its historical ranges at 1.8% (Singapore
Department of Statistics, 2014).
x Current lending interest rate has also dropped by a small amount from 5.38% that had
remained constant for 4 years to 5.35% starting from January 2014 (Monetary
Authority of Singapore, 2014).
x 6LQJDSRUH¶VSopulation keeps on climbing, reaching 5.4 million people in June 2013.
The population is expected to increase in years to come, especially with the
JRYHUQPHQW¶VSRSXODWLRQWDUJHWRIWRPLOOLRQSHRSOHE\ The Population
White Paper, 2013).

According to the economic condition analysis, the current situations should suggest
increasing demand and prices on the property market as real estates are derived demand and
will thrive whenever the economy is doing well.

,!

#$%%&'(!
4.1.2 Property Market Condition

x However, in reality, dampening of the property market has slowed down the private
residential property market. The property market had been in a boom since the first
quarter of 2009 and recently, cooled down with a decrease in private residential
properties price index of 0.9% in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Figure 1: Private Residential Property Price

x In the fourth quarter of 2013, private condominium prices declined by 0.4% - lowest
decline among the other types of private residential properties such as, detached,
semi-detached, terraces and apartments with a decline of 0.9% to 2.4%.
x Rental rate has also decreased by 0.5% in fourth quarter of 2013 ± first decline since
third quarter of 2009. The vacancy rate has increased to a level of 6.2%, a level last
seen on second quarter of 2013. It is expected that there may still be a fall in rental
rate and raise in vacancy rate, but not significantly.

Figure 2: Rental & Vacancy Rate

x The volume of transactions for private residential properties has shown a dramatic
drop with only 14,948 sales in 2013 compared to 22,197 sales in the previous year.

.!
!
!
#$%%&'(!
These facts revealed the cooling of the private residential property market, in terms of
declining property prices as well as quantity sold.

4.1.3 Demand and Supply Analysis

One of the causes of the dampening of private residential property market is due to the lower
demand. Decrease in demand has resulted from the rounds of cooling measures set by the
government to curb high demand due to supportive economic conditions. These include:

x The introduction of a new total debt servicing ratio (TDSR) policy which is applied in
June 2013. Home buyers are hit hardly by this new framework as it requires financial
LQVWLWXWLRQVWRHQVXUHWKDWDERUURZHU¶VPRQWKO\WRWDOGHEWUHSD\PHQWVGRQRWH[FHHG
60% of gross monthly income when granting a property loan.
x Recent revision of additional buyer stamp duty (ABSD) which has deterred
Permanent Residents (PRs) and Singaporeans to buy residential properties for
investment purposes.

Furthermore, a dip in HDB flat prices may also discourage HDB flat owners from upgrading
to a private condominium as lower HDB prices means lower profit and budget for upgrading.
In addition, an increase in housing supply which includes approximately 95,000 new private
units that will enter the market in the next 5 years as well as approximately 25,000 to 27,000
public housing flats launched in 2014. These have an impact in the dropping of private
residential property prices as they boost the vacancy rate.

4.1.4 Forecast

Overall, it is expected that the private residential market will be experiencing a general
slowdown with a soft landing ± a modest decline in prices in the near future. This is with the
assumption that the Singapore government does not make any revisions on any policies that
results in an increased demand of private residential property market, in particular private
condominium. A report done by Barclay forecasted a decline of 5% in residential property
prices in 2014 and another 5% to 15% in 2015 (SG Wealth Builder, 2014). This is partly due

0!
!
!
#$%%&'(!
to the expected higher mortgage rates resulting from the US Fed tapering, which would make
financing of a property more expensive.

4.2 Micro Level

Considering the sluggish private non-landed market, the future expectation of home prices in
Prince Charles Crescent area is likely to be as status quo. In the vicinity of the site area, there
is a large supply of private residential units, especially along Alexandra Road. However, the
market for private housing along Alexandra Road is a different market than that of the area
around the site area, despite their close distances. This is due to the fact that units along
Prince Charles Crescent belong to District 10, whilst units along Alexandra Road belong to
District 3. Studies have shown that in Singapore, investors are willing to pay a premium for
more prestigious districts (PropertyGuru, October 2010). Therefore, the demand for housing
in the area is higher than the other parts of Singapore. This can be largely attributed to the
fact that Prince Charles Crescent is situated in District 10 ± a prestigious housing estate in
Singapore. Units in District 10 certainly do not lack any strong demands, even when the
market is rather slow-moving.

#$%%&'(!
Recent reports by Channel News Asia (Wong Siew Ying, 2014) suggest that the influx of
property investors are growing in Singapore, especially in the more prestigious residential
estates. Such investors include nationals from China, Indonesia and Malaysia. These
investors tend to have large accumulations of wealth that are enough to negate the costs
incurred by recent government measures. Although the recent newspapers reported that the
number of foreign investors is declining in the sluggish market, we believe that this is
attributed to the lack of prestigious condominium launches. This is further supported by
85$¶VGDWDWKDWVKRZVWKHVWDJJHULQJGURSLQWKHQXPEHURISULYDWHUHVLGHQWLDOXQLWVODXQFKHG
and sold between 2012 and 2013, as shown in Table 2.

Private development with potentially large ROI such as J Gateway in Jurong East, had all of
its 738 units sold within its first day of launch. Therefore, since the proposed development
belongs to a prestigious development and has large ROI, there is sufficient ground to believe
that there is still a high level of demand for the proposed development.

According to recent transactions, new condominium launches in the neighbourhood of Prince


Charles Crescent received high demand from the public. This is evident from the sold-out
success by Echelon in the third quarter of 2013 and was subsequently followed by Alex
Residences in late 2013. The latter had more success than the former as it was fully sold only
within a few weeks after its launch. These transactions were those of new private residential
units in District 3. Units in District 10 are generally more prestigious and thus has higher
demand than those in District 3. It could be expected that the proposed development would
have larger magnitude of success than the cases described.

5. Appraisal process

An analysis of five appraisal approaches will be considered to evaluate the subject site.

x Direct comparison approach is a rationale based on principles of substitution,


contribution and supply and demand, which suggests that similar properties will
realize similar prices. It inherent a premise, that a purchaser would not pay more than
the cost for acquiring a property with similar amenities and utilities.
x Cost approach is based on the principles of substitution and contribution. It suggests
that no one would pay a property what it costs to buy the land and construct the
building which would provide the same level of utility.
x Income approach is based on the concept that value is estimated according to the
expectations of future benefits and higher earnings should result in higher value.
x Profits approach entails the trading profits derived from the business operation of the
subject property. The estimated annual income is then capitalized to the current
capital value of the property.
x Residual approach is based on the rationale that site value is the residual value having
deducted all costs of development and profits from the expected capital value of the
property when completed.
!
In this appraisal, two approaches are being used - direct comparison approach and residual
approach. The cost approach is not applicable because the subject site is in vacant state and it
is not possible to estimate the reproduction or replacement cost if there is no existing building
on it. Profit approach and income approach are not applicable as the vacant land does not
involve business operations, hence no income is generated.

In the final steps of the appraisal process, estimated values and conclusions are consolidated.
To reach the final conclusion, the entire process of estimating the site value by different
approaches must be reviewed for accuracy, completeness and consistency. The final

6. Direct Comparison Valuation

6.1iIntroduction
Direct comparison approach relies upon several principles of valuation: substitution,
contribution and supply and demand. The property is evaluated through direct comparison
with one or more properties that have similar utilities, features and characteristics. Several
adjustments are applied due to the heterogeneity of properties. The steps involved in direct
comparison approach are:

x Identification of comparable
x Verification of data and inspections
x Adjustment to take into account current market conditions as well as physical,
economic and legal variables
x Adjustment in percentage terms or lump sum
x Subjective opinion based on objective assessment

The site value is estimated by comparisons with sales of similar land parcels with identical
uses and similar location. The common unit of comparison for sites is the sale price per
square meter and will be applied in this analysis.

6.2 Comparable

A search was made of land sales in the vicinity. Addendum III summarizes verifiable sales
from which land value can be estimated. The comparable shown were considered most
suitable in the area of the subject property.

""!
!
!
#$%%&'(!
6.3 Adjustments Criteria and Justifications

6.3.1 Date of Sale

Figure 3: Market Trend (Squarefoot, 2014)

As seen from Figure 3, there is an overall upward trend in prices for properties transacted.
The Subject tender date is on April 2014 whereas Comparable 1 and 2 were transacted 2
years before. Thus, Comparable 1 and 2 are subjected to an upward adjustment in price.

6.3.2 Demolition Cost

Figure 4: Land Parcel, Comparable 1

")!
!
!
#$%%&'(!
!

As shown in figure 4, Comparable 1 is partially developed. This means that developers would
have to incur some form of cost like demolition cost before redevelopment. This may
discourage buyers to purchase this land parcel. Thus, Comparable 1 is inferior compared to
the Subject and Comparable 2. Therefore, Comparable 1 is subjected to an upward price
adjustment.

6.3.3 Physical Characteristics

Figure 5: Size and Shape

Adjustments for size differences are often made on the premise that purchasers would pay
less per square meter for a larger site as compared to a smaller site. The term for this is
FRPPRQO\NQRZQDV³HFRQRPLHVRIVFDOH´. Another key factor is due to the fall in demand
since the number of potential bidders drops as the land parcels become more expensive to
purchase. Therefore, there will be less competition. Since the Subject has a bigger plot
compared to Comparable 1 and 2, both Comparable are subjected to downward adjustments.

Irregular shaped parcel reduces the flexibility in construction design, thus price adjustment in
the form of utility is made. Comparable 2 has a regular shape and its utility would be made
better as compared to the less regular shape of the Subject and Comparable 1. Thus,

"*!
!
!
#$%%&'(!
Comparable 2 is subjected to a downward adjustment while Comparable 1 is subjected to an
upward adjustment since it has more irregular shape as compared to the Subject.

6.3.4 Location

The Subject and Comparable 2 are located beside Alexandra Canal, a recreational area as
well as providing the residence a paranormal view of the waterway downstream. This results
in these sites to be superior to Comparable 1. Comparable 1 is thus subjected to an upward
adjustment.

6.4 Estimation of Land Value

Based on table 3, the estimated value of the subject property should range between
$10,026.00 and $10,618.00 per m . Since Comparable 2 is more similar to the Subject than
Comparable 1, we decided to estimate the value of the land at $10,150 per m . Estimated
value of land is as calculated:

7. Residual Valuation

7.1iIntroduction
Using residual method as a valuation approach, the site value is estimated by deducting all
the estimated costs of development and expected profit from the capital value of the
development when it is completed. The estimated costs of development and expected capital
value of property are evaluated by comparing with other developments with similar
characteristics and location that have been transacted recently. The steps involved in residual
method include:

x Defining highest and best use of vacant land


x Estimating Gross Development Value (GDV)
x Deducting all costs of development and profits

Residual site value to account for opportunity cost, legal and stamp fees before determining
site value.

7.2 Highest and Best Use Analysis

The site was evaluated for its highest and best use and so its maximum value was recognized.
The reasonably probable use of the vacant land was evaluated through the highest and best
use analysis and this analysis included considerations as below:

x Physically possible
x Appropriately supported (by market forces)
x Legally allowable
x Financially feasible

The only allowable use for the subject site in the Government Land Sales (GLS) is
residential, hence, determining its highest and best use. In addition, this use conforms to the
current zoning ordinance. The subject land has been in vacant state for years and its size
(24,964.3 m ) is recognized to be appropriate and applicable for residential development. The
site has a rectangular-based shape and flat conforming topography, resulting in the possibility

",!
!
!
#$%%&'(!
for the maximization of physical utility while waiving additional construction cost.
Moreover, the site is surrounded by mostly residential and institutional development.
Therefore, the environment conditions and urban infrastructure surrounding the subject site
are suitable to support the use of the site.

7.3 Comparable for Estimation of Gross Development Value (GDV)

A search was done in the vicinity. The units that are most similar to the development are from
Echelon. They have incorporated compact and standard 3 bedrooms as well as suites in their
development, which is similar to our development proposal. The comparable are listed
addendum IV.

7.4 Adjustments Criteria and Justifications

7.4.1 Date of Transaction

All the comparable units were transacted between February to April 2013, while the subject
units are going to be transacted in the near future. Based on the market analysis, there has
been an upward trend in property prices by approximately 5% from the first quarter of 2013.
Therefore, the Comparables are subjected to a upward adjustment of 5%.

7.4.2 Location

The development of the comparable units are located nearer to the transport facilities
compared to the subject units. Thus the comparable are superior in terms of location and are
subjected to a downward price adjustment of 3%.

8. Reconciliation of Value Indications

Based on our application of valuation approaches, the estimated land value ranges from
S$491,360,000.00 (Residual Valuation) to S$532,120,000.00 (Direct Comparison Valuation).
We skewed the estimated land value towards the Direct Comparison Value because the
valuation is based on past transacted prices which can be used as empirical evidence. In
contrast, Residual Valuation is based on the development proposal which is subjected to
change by the development company, YSM Developers Ltd.

Opinion of Value: S$520,000,000.00
