Foreign developers were out in force in a hotly contested state tender for a mixed-use site at Potong Pasir that closed yesterday.
The 1.6ha residential and commercial plot in Meyappa Chettiar Road fetched a stunning 15 bids, far more than the expected number of eight.
Consultants said the plot could have appealed because it is right next to the Potong Pasir MRT station and has a commercial segment.
