En bloc and Collective Sales

Ivory Heights is a former HUDC (Housing and Urban Development Company) estate which had been privatized on 1 Jun 1998. It is 1 of 22 HUDC estates in Singapore.

In 2017, Ivory Heights, a former HUDC estate located in Jurong East, was put up for a collective sale with a reserve price of approximately $1.34 billion. The marketing agent, SLP International Property Consultants, was working on securing the necessary support from 80% of the 654-apartment estate's homeowners.

However, the estate failed to achieve the minimum 80% consent by the Sep 30 deadline, preventing the launch of a public tender. This is the first mega site in recent months to fail in launching its tender. The failure can be attributed to the announcement of new cooling measures on July 6 and the postponed Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High Speed Rail project.

Vincent Ng, Chairperson of the Collective Sale Committee, stated that some residents were reluctant to proceed with the en bloc sale at the moment, despite the committee revising the reserve price to $1.68 billion.

If the sale had gone through, owners would have received between $2.5 million and $2.8 million, exceeding the initially estimated $2 million to $2.3 million. Ng expressed disappointment that they had reached 74% consent a few months ago, with 480 owners in agreement, but failed to secure consent from another 40 owners. The present Sale Committee will be dissolved, and the matter of a fresh tender rests with the residents.

Mr. Cheong mentioned that in addition to other factors, Ivory Heights faced higher land acquisition costs and potential penalties due to new cooling measures.

These measures, announced on July 6th, require developers to pay a 5% non-remissible ABSD (Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty) and a 25% remissible duty if they fail to sell all units within 5 years of acquiring the land.

Ivory Heights' failed en bloc may indicate future market trends. The Pine Grove Sale Committee is currently under pressure as their deadline to achieve 80% consent expires on October 28th. As of now, 78% of owners have agreed to the $1.72 billion reserve price.

Terence Lian, Head of Investment Sales at Huttons Asia, the marketing agents for Pine Grove, stated that the remaining 2% of residents should consider the realistic asking price to avoid a situation similar to Ivory Heights' and prevent the en bloc dream from falling through.
