Guillemard Suites Review
The property pricing in District 14 has been rising at a rapid rate over the last few years for reasons that not many investors have realised. Geylang is probably one the biggest plot of freehold land in Singapore and has already attracted many property developers to set their foothold in this area because of the rare freehold plots available. In recent years, we haven’t been seeing a lot of new launches in the area, except for the recent new launch condos namely Tre Residences and Sims Urban Oasis, which are both leasehold properties. Lets take a look at the price comparison between Guillemard Suites and these 2 other developments since their launch.
| PROJECT | TENURE | NO. OF UNITS | COMPLETION | AVERAGE PRICE (S$ PSF) | NO. OF CAVEATS RECORDED |
| GUILLEMARD SUITES | FREEHOLD | 146 | UNCOMPLETED | 1,426 | 127 |
| TRE RESIDENCES | 99 YRS FROM 2014 | 250 | UNCOMPLETED | 1,546 | 54 |
| SIMS URBAN OASIS | 99 YRS FROM 2014 | 1024 | UNCOMPLETED | 1,400 | 243 |
As you can see, Tre Residences tops the pile with a average psf of S$1,546 for 54 units sold so far (as of 11 September 2015). The reason for this high PSF is likely due to its close proximity to Aljunied MRT Station and most of the units in the condo are small in size. Although Guillemard Suites may not be as close to the MRT Station, its PSF price does look attractive and with the freehold status, it certainly looks good for long-term value.
Talking about long-term value, there’s something that you should know if you are already an investor, or looking to invest in this precinct. In January 2015, the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) of Singapore has proposed to rezone almost half of Geylang, from residential to commercial planning. That means we will be expecting more commercial developments, such as offices, hotels or entertainment complexes in the region, which in contrary means that we will also be seeing lesser supply of residential properties in the area itself.
Looking the above screenshot from the URA Master Plan 2014, you will see that the plot ratio for the Geylang precinct is 2.8. So what does a plot ratio of 2.8 means? Take a look at the following table which is extracted from URA’s guideline for height control on flats and condos in Singapore:
| GROSS PLOT RATIO | STOREY HEIGHT CONTROL |
| 1.4 | 5 |
| 1.6 | 12 |
| 2.1 | 24 |
| 2.8 | 36 |
| >2.8 | >36 |
Have a walk in the area and have you wondered why that the building structures around are not more than 8-storey tall? Simple. It’s because of Paya Lebar Air Base and the Geylang stretch is part of the flight path, thus this height restriction is in place. Now, if you still remember, during the National Day Rally 2013, Prime Minister of Singapore Mr Lee Hsien Loong mentioned the plans to shift Paya Lebar Air Base out to Changi in order to make room for more homes to be built. So when the air base is shifted, the height restriction for Geylang will likely be lifted too.
As we all know, land is scarce in Singapore and the only way to build more homes, is to go upwards. Therefore, this will present opportunities for property developers to come into Geylang in future, possibly redeveloping or conduct enbloc exercises for the existing low-rise buildings. Do note that the plot ratio stated in the Master Plan is 2.8, which means future developments can go as high as 36-storey.
If you’ve realised, in fact plans are already ongoing. With the Singapore Sports Hub hosting one of the biggest international Tennis events – The WTA Championship, there’s still plenty growth for this area, and it’s definitely a place to park your wealth with the lowest possible risk.
There is no argument as far as the beauty, brilliant location and opulence of Guillemard Suites is concerned. There are some additional attributes that will entice one to invest here, as listed below.
- With the blooming foliage and calm environs cloistering residents from noise and activity in the city, occupants have to themselves a peaceful retreat in busy, bustling Singapore.
- Living in these exclusive apartments a posh locality of the east coast will add to the prestige of any home owner.
- The return on investment projected for this property are significantly lucrative, thus ensuring buyers are in possession of appreciating real estate.
Therefore, a home in Guilllemard Suites would be an absolute delight for anyone with discernible taste and a love for luxury.
