尽管新加坡房地产市场自去年10月开始转淡，东海岸第15邮区一带的麦雅路（Meyer Road）过去几个月没有“闲”下来，一直都有买卖交易。
继今年开年以来正式推出市场的私宅项目Aalto，位于麦雅路附近的炮台路（Fort Road)的16所排屋昨天寻求集体出售，公开招标，预示价为9500万元。
炮台路29号至59号的16间排屋，统称Fort Terrace，占地4万7886平方英尺，属于永久地契，在2003年的发展总蓝图下，被划分为住宅区，容积率为2.1。招标截止日期为3月26日。
负责代理销售的高力国际（Colliers）投资销售部主管何永裕表示，这个长方型地段可重新发展为拥有67个，单位面积为1500平方英尺的中高档公寓，以目前麦雅路附近项目售价作为参考，这个地段的新项目售价预计可达每平方英尺2000元左右。
他估计，这个地段的发展费为2300万元，发展商如果以640万元买下附近约1万964平方英尺的国有土地，以可建筑楼面(GFA)来计算，总收购价将为每平方英尺1238元。
由于所有的业主都答应出售，无需分层地契局（STB）批准，何永裕相信，出售过程要比一般的集体出售项目短六至九个月。
以9500万元的售价来计算，每名业主将获得约480万元，要比单独出售来得高一倍。
何永裕指出，麦雅路在淡静的房地产市场中继续“活跃”是由于这段路面海，是东海岸一带的首选之地，靠近市区，但每平方英尺售价是乌节路等黄金地段的一半。
根据市区重建局公布的一月份私宅数据，位于麦雅路，拥有196个单位的Aalto，已卖出了大约80％，中数价格为每平方英尺2078元。附近拥有 327个单位的The Seafront on Meyer，成交价则介于每平方英尺1339元至1700元，卖出了将近90％。
此外，速美集团（Soilbuild Group）去年11月以3080万元买下临近麦雅路的玛格路10号。这1万6967平方英尺的永久地契地段将衔接玛格大厦（12 Margate Mansion），即集团在去年8月份以5800万元买下的永久地契地段。综合两地，扩大面积为5万1771平方英尺，可发展成50至70个平均1500 至2000平方英尺的豪华住宅单位。两地的总收购价约为容积率每平方英尺987元。
麦雅路除了是买卖市场的宠儿，也是租屋者，尤其是外籍租户青睐的地方。根据近期的市场调查报告，麦雅路是过去一年来租金涨幅最显著的地区之一，租金涨了超过40％，中数月租约每平方英尺2.62元。

义顺一执行共管公寓地段被列入售地计划备售名单
《联合早报》Feb 27, 2008
建屋局把位于义顺11道的一幅执行共管公寓（EC）地段列入政府售地计划的备售名单（reserve list），让执行共管公寓市场有望添加新成员。

位于百合苑（Lilydale）执行共管公寓隔壁的这幅地段，占地1万5080平方米，容积率为2.8，可建筑楼面为4万2224平方米，属于99年地契。
这是政府准备在今年推出的三个执行共管公寓地段当中的第一幅地段。裕廊西和盛港的地段预计将在3月和4月通过政府售地计划的备售名单出售。三幅地段总共可建1300个单位。
尽管执行共管公寓近来有“死灰复燃”的迹象，受访市场人士对该地段的看法不一。
市场看法不一
第一太平戴维斯（Savills)行销与业务开发主管邱瑞荣表示，义顺一带已经有一段时间没有新执行共管公寓项目登场，而鉴于这一带是成熟住宅区，地段距离地铁站、购物中心、巴士转换站不远，与高尔夫球场和蓄水池毗邻，相信会受到许多年轻新婚夫妇和地段周围组屋提升者的欢迎。
以兀兰16通道的佳乐园（La Casa）执行共管公寓地段近期取得的约每平方英尺600元售价来看，邱瑞荣预计，这幅地段将能兴建约400个面积为1200平方英尺的单位，售价预计为650元左右。
考虑到目前新组屋非常抢手，大众化私宅需求将保持强劲，邱瑞荣相信，这幅地段很快就会被“勾”出来公开招标，发展商可能会出价每平方英尺200元左右。
由于义顺11道的这幅地段被列入备售名单，发展商若有意投标，必须向建屋局提呈申请，表明最低标价。如果底价获得批准，该局将把地段推出市场，供所有有兴趣竞标的发展商投标。另一方面，考虑到建筑费居高不下，莱坊（Knight Frank）研究部主管麦俊荣对这个地段不表乐观。
他说：“建筑费从过去的100多元高涨至200多甚至是300元，这将打压这类大众化住宅地段的土地售价。由于发展商无法为这些地段制订太高的售价，建筑费越高，它们的利润将进一步缩水，以致他们不愿发展这类项目。”
由于隔壁的百合苑去年3月和5月的成交价介于每平方英尺331元和356元，而本地房地产市场已出现趋软的迹象，麦俊荣认为发展商的反应将相当冷淡，预计该地段只能吸引每平方英尺介于80元至130元的标价。

CapitaLand Says Vietnam Market Is 2nd Most Important After S'pore
Source : Channel NewsAsia, 27 February 2008
DANANG, Vietnam: Property developer CapitaLand said it views the Vietnam market as being the second most important market for itself after Singapore.
President and CEO Liew Mun Leong has likened the growth potential of Vietnam to Chinese cities like Shanghai and Guangzhou.
To help the company expand in Vietnam, CapitaLand has formed a strategic partnership with another Vietnamese developer.
Urbanisation in Vietnam is growing fast, fuelled by strong economic growth. The United Nations has estimated that by 2015, one third of Vietnam's population will live in cities, creating a wealth of opportunities for property developers like CapitaLand.
Mr Liew said: "I see Vietnam as the second best growth area, the second best growth engine for us in Southeast Asia, next to Singapore. The dynamics of this market are the same as what I saw in Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou ten years ago. It has identical growth factors and identical prospects of urbanisation, economic growth and a demand for housing and real estate."
To better ride the development boom, CapitaLand has formed an alliance with Tham Nam Long Investment Company, a major player in the property scene here.
Together, they plan to develop residential properties, and commercial and residential mixed developments.
CapitaLand has also moved to set up a US$300 million fund to invest in real estate projects in Vietnam.
It has signed a memorandum of understanding with Citi Private Bank to act as the placement agent for the fund. CapitaLand said it intends to take a 30 percent sponsor stake in it.
The developer said late last year that it wants to double the number of residential homes under development to 6,000 over three years.
It is also planning to move into the integrated leisure, entertainment and conventions (ILEC) sector.
CapitaLand already has a presence in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. Now, it wants to go into other cities.
The resort city of Danang is the third busiest port in Vietnam, but it has yet to see foreign investment on the scale enjoyed by Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
Besides real estate, government officials here want to develop Vietnam's potential as a holiday destination, and they are banking on places like Danang to pull in the tourist dollar. - CNA/so

Ho Bee's Full-Year Profit Jumps 176% To S$272m
Source : Channel NewsAsia, 27 February 2008
A robust property market and a strong economy have helped developer Ho Bee to report record full-year earnings.
Net profit jumped 176 percent on year to S$272 million. This was achieved on the back of record revenues of S$596 million, up 52 percent on year.
Ho Bee's development properties reported higher sales due to the progressive recognition of income from its residential projects, including those at Sentosa Cove, Orange Grove Road and Holland Road.
Its property investment division has continued to benefit from high occupancy levels and improvement in rental rates.
Ho Bee's Chairman and CEO Chua Thian Poh said he is cautiously optimistic about the market outlook.
He cited recent Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) data that suggested a continued rise of overall prices of residential properties in the fourth quarter, albeit at a lower rate.
URA had said overall prices for residential properties rose 6.8 percent compared to 8.3 percent in the previous quarter. For non-landed properties, the increase was 7.2 percent, against 8.3 percent in the previous quarter.
Year-on-year, overall prices have gone up by 31 percent, while non-landed properties saw a 33 percent increase.
Ho Bee has proposed a one-tier final dividend of 2 cents per share. - CNA/so

UOB's Q4 Net Profit Down 5.7% To S$506m
Source : Channel NewsAsia, 27 February 2008
United Overseas Bank (UOB), Singapore's second-biggest lender by assets, posted a 5.7 percent fall in its fourth-quarter profit, as turmoil in credit markets led to more write-downs.
The bank reported net profit of S$506 million for the October-December period, down from S$537 million a year ago.
UOB, which had a smaller exposure to risky debt compared to local industry leader DBS, made fresh provisions of S$128 million for its exposure to debt derivatives and long-term investments in the fourth quarter, bringing its total write-downs in the year to S$300 million.
Net interest income in the fourth quarter was S$743 million, up 5.9 percent from S$702 million a year earlier.
Non-interest income was S$532 million, up 2.9 percent from last year's S$517 million.
In a statement, UOB chief executive Wee Ee Cheong said 2008 "looks set to be a challenging year".
World financial markets have been battered since last August by fallout from a crisis in the US sub-prime, or high-risk, loan sector which forced commercial banks to tighten lending criteria leading to a credit crunch.
Banks around the world suffered multi-billion-dollars losses linked to sub-prime loans given to US homebuyers with risky credit histories. - CNA/ir/ch
