Ho Bee partners IOI for top bid on Sentosa site

HO Bee Investment has teamed up with Malaysia’s IOI Properties group for its top bid on Tuesday for the Seaview Collection condo site at Sentosa Cove.

Their joint bid of $459.8 million works out to $1,361.33 psf per plot ratio - a new record for 99-year leasehold condo land in the upmarket waterfront residential locale.

The Seaview Collection is the second of a total of four condo sites at Sentosa Cove’s Southern Residential Precinct, and is one of the last two condo plots offering unobstructed views of the sea and Southern Islands. With a plot ratio of 2.15, developers can develop the 99-year leasehold plot into an eight-storey condo with a total of 200 units.

Sentosa Cove Pte Ltd said it expects to award the site to the Ho Bee/IOI joint venture in the ‘following weeks’. SCPL said the tender attracted five bids in all.
