☀️Galven Tan, CEO of Knight Frank Singapore, described the S$3,230 psf fetched for 21 Collyer Quay as a “good price”.
“The property has been seen as a trophy asset; and over the years, many parties had wanted to acquire it,” he added. “Notwithstanding that its GFA has been maximised, 21 Collyer Quay features on the Singapore CBD skyline. Another attraction is the long land tenure akin to freehold.”
⚡️Agreeing, Savills Singapore executive director of research and consultancy, Alan Cheong (GradStat) said: “The appeal of assets like 21 Collyer Quay is not in the property yield but a prestigious location with unblocked views of the Marina Bay area, and 999-year/freehold tenure.”
