Cushman & Wakefield (“C&W”) has been appointed as the exclusive marketing agent for a prime freehold residential redevelopment site on Dublin Road, District 9, having secured 100% consensus from the owners to launch the site for sale by tender.
The offering comprises three adjoining land plots — No. 14 Dublin Road, No. 16 Dublin Road, and a strip of private land (Lot TS20-99859V) — collectively referred to as the “Properties”.
Currently occupying the site are a pair of 3-storey semi-detached houses built around the mid-1950s. This rare opportunity presents exceptional potential for a boutique residential development in one of Singapore’s most prestigious residential enclaves.
The Properties have a combined site area of 1,850.5 sq m (approx.19,919 sq ft). Under the draft Master Plan 2025, the site is zoned “Residential”, with plot ratio of 1.4, allowing a maximum gross floor area (GFA) of 2,590.7 sq m (approx. 27,886 sq ft). The site also has an allowable building height of up to 5-storeys.
As the Properties are located within Singapore’s Central Area, they are exempt from the 85 sqm minimum dwelling size requirement. Assuming building efficiency of 90%, the site could potentially be redeveloped into around 50 apartment units ranging from 40 sq m to 70 sqm, subject to approval from the relevant authorities.
Nestled off Killiney Road in the River Valley enclave, the neighbourhood blends exclusive low-rise homes with modern high-rise apartments. Just off Dublin Road, conserved shophouses sit alongside boutique lifestyle stores and trendy dining options – offering a unique mix of charm and convenience for discerning residents.
Future residents will also benefit from the transformative $3 billion Comcentre redevelopment nearby, which will feature a vibrant mix of amenities including dining, healthcare services and premium Grade A office spaces.
The Properties are a short walk from Orchard Road’s shopping belt, including 313@Somerset and Orchard Central, and just 200 metres from Somerset MRT Station. Reputable primary schools within 1km include St. Margaret’s and River Valley Primary School, while Alexandra Primary, Anglo-Chinese School (Junior) and Farrer Park Primary are located within a 2km radius.
The guide price for the Properties is $49.8 million, translating to a land rate of $1,786 psf per plot ratio. With a high development baseline, no land betterment charge (LBC) is payable up to a plot ratio of 1.4. The effective land rate will be reduced to $1,740 psf per plot ratio if a 7% bonus balcony GFA is factored in, with nominal LBC payable.
Mr. Shaun Poh, Executive Director, Capital Markets at Cushman & Wakefield, said: “This is a limited-edition freehold site in one of Singapore’s most prestigious districts, just minutes’ walk from the iconic Orchard Road. This site is ideally positioned for redevelopment into a boutique residential project or serviced apartments, subject to authorities’ approval, catering to the growing demand for upscale urban living and short-term accommodation. We anticipate strong interest from discerning investors and developers seeking to unlock the full potential of this exceptional opportunity.”
The tender will close on 29 October 2025 (Wednesday) at 3.00p.m.
