A joint venture between Hoi Hup Realty and Sunway Development was awarded the executive condo (EC) site at Plantation Close with a top bid of $423.38 million or $701 psf per plot ratio (psf ppr) on Feb 14. The 215,691 sq ft, 99-year leasehold site can be developed into a new 560-unit EC.

Last September, Hoi Hup and Sunway won the neighbouring site, the 176,973 sq ft Parcel A, for $348.5 million ($703 psf ppr). Both sites are close to a range of amenities, including malls like JEM, Westgate, and IMM and educational institutions like ACS (Primary) and Princess Elizabeth Primary School.

"Our vision is to create a collection of great quality ECs that harness the proximity to the new amenities in the future Tengah development and the nearby Jurong Lake District and Second CBD," says Wong Swee Chun, chairman of Hoi Hup Realty.
