Mr Clemence Lee, Senior Director, JLL, says: “The residence was first launched available for buy in September 2018 using a guide price of $52 million. Upon the shut of the EOI, we received a few offers which fell short of the owner’s expectation. The residence was subsequently withdrawn from the sector.
With the improving office industry in Singapore, we are seeing more investors shift their focus back to the industrial sector. We feel that it is timely to put the residence into the industry again to offer buyers another chance to reconsider this exceptional opportunity. With the pricing lowered to between $46 to $49 million, we expect strong interest from both investors and owner occupiers who are looking to acquire a centrally-located freehold business producing in a bustling location undergoing rejuvenation and gentrification.”
