Mar Thoma Mansions, a 999-year leasehold condominium along Mar Thoma Road in Bendemeer, is up for collective sale at an indicative price of $54.7 million, with ERA Realty Network as the marketing agent.
The price translates to $1,455 psf per plot ratio after factoring in a 7% bonus gross floor area for balconies. On top of the purchase price, the developer has to pay an estimated land betterment charge of $2.438 million.
Built in 1995, the existing 10-storey block has just 18 units sitting on a 13,107 sq ft site. According to the Master Plan 2019, the residential site has a plot ratio of 2.8, which translates to a maximum permissible gross floor area of 36,699 sq ft.
