Phoenix Heights condominium in Bukit Panjang is for sale at $260 million collective sale

Phoenix Heights is a 32-unit condominium in Bukit Panjang. The current lease is up in 2019, but the owners plan to redevelop it and apply for a new 99-year lease. A joint venture between OKP Holdings and USB Holdings is planning to redevelop the condominium, and it will seek approval from various authorities for the project.

The sale of Phoenix Heights comes as the Government’s cooling measures are taking effect, aimed at curbing a sharp increase in prices. However, prices are still running ahead of the fundamentals and there is a risk of a destabilising correction in the future. This could be compounded by rising interest rates and a large supply of new residential units.
