HOUGANG OVERVIEW
Hougang is a mature town with good schools and a variety of parks and sports facilities. Over the next few years, residents will be able to enjoy more community facilities and recreational options and to have access to more jobs near home. There are also plans to showcase the town's rich history and heritage sites.
Yio Chu Kang Road EC- Gracious living in a heritage town
Various initiatives will be implemented to enhance the overall living environment and to strengthen the residents' connection with local history. These include:
- A One-stop community club with hawker centre, a health-care facility and an arts centre, located at Hougang Avenue 9
- An Estate- Upgrading Programme a new pedestrain footbridge across Sungei Punggol at the Gerald-Mugliston Estate
- More retail amenities at Kovan, Hougang Central, Hougang Avenue 7, Buangkok Drive and Jalan Pelikal
- A new nursing home to serve the needs of elderly residents at Hougang Avenue 8
Yio Chu Kang Road EC- Leisure- Greener than ever
Residents in Hougang will have easy access to many major parks in the North-Eastern Region via the North-Eastern Riverine Loop (NERL) park connectors. When the NERL eventually becomes part of the 150km long Round Island Route, recreation sites farther afield will be even more accessible, such as the Changi Coastal Loop. As the green network expands in future, most homes in Hougang will be closer to parks or park connectors. These include:
- New neighbourhood parks within Kovan Estate
- A park at the future Lorong Halus Industrial Park
- An expanded Punggol Park
- An extended park connector at Hougang Avenue 3 to link up with the Pelton Canal park connector, providing easier access to Kallang Riverside.
- New interim sports facilities at the Jalan Kayu Sports Hub at Buangkok Crescent
- Enhancements to the canal at Hougang Avenue 10 through new landscaping with outlook decks, shelters and seatings
Yio Chu Kang Road EC- More transport infrastructure- Better roads with better rides
Hougang is well connected to other parts of Singapore via public transport. Getting around will become much easier with trasnport improvements to smoothen traffic flow and improve accessibility. These include:
- A New Integraged transport hub in Hougang MRT Station
- Road improvements along Upper Serangoon Road, Upper Paya Lebar Road, Tampines Road, Lorong Ah Soo and Hougang Central
- Extension of Buangkok Link and Buangkok Crescent to complete the local road network
- Construction of the Cross Island Line which will pass through Hougang when it starts operations by 2030 and provides another direct MRT route to Changi and the west as well as other major towns.
HIGHER DEMAND FOR ECs WITH ITS HIGH PROFIT MARGIN AND LOW ENTRY PRICE
Owners of Executive Condominiums (EC) stand a huge capital potential appreciation in due of the low entry price to purchase a unit compared to private condominiums.
After a period of 10 years, the EC will be privatised, changing its status to be on level to a private condominium. Foreigners will be able to purchase the unit then. Owners typically enjoy a capital gain after their EC is privatised.
The above table shows a significant increase in capital appreciation for EC owners.
Purchasing an EC is extremely promising as we may look into such capital appreciation after it becomes privatised over time.
As the entry price for an Executive Condominium (EC) is much lower than a private condominium, demand for ECs has been on the rise. New EC units are generally 15-30% cheaper than private condominiums. In addition, first timer are entitled to receive a CPF Housing Grant of up to S$30,000. These make EC an extreme worthwhile asset to purchase.
Physical features are similar when comparing between a new executive condominium with a private condominium. This include facilities such as gym, clubhouse, security guard, tennis court, swimming pool and many more.
Residents of this new EC in Serangoon North near Hougang will look into a long term investment with high profit margin.
When doing a comparison between an executive condominium and private condominium, we know that both EC and private condominiums offer the same features such as swimming pool, gym, tennis court and many more,
As resale executive condominiums are typically larger in space comparing to its counterpart and with a lower entry price, demand has increased for the resale ECs. This has led to a narrowing of price gap.
Owners of resale ECs have profited greatly in the market with their low entry price and they had enjoyed the bigger space and same facilities.
HOI HUP GETS HIGHEST BID FOR EC LAND PARCEL IN YIO CHU KANG ROAD
SINGAPORE — An Executive Condominium (EC) site on Yio Chu Kang Road has attracted healthy interest from developers, with the highest of ten bids amounting to S$183.8 million, the Housing and Development Board (HDB) said at the close of tender today (Feb 18).
The new 99-year leasehold site launched in Yio Chu Kang Road, which is next to a condominium development, Regentville, released from the Confirmed List of the second half of the 2015 Government Land Sales (GLS) programme, sits on 198,302 sq ft of land. With a plot ratio of 2.8, the site has a maximum allowable gross floor area of about 555,246 sq ft and can yield an estimated 520 homes, the HDB said.
The top bid, coming from Hoi Hup Realty, translated to S$331.02 per sq ft per plot ratio.
Mr Eugene Lim, Key Executive Officer at ERA Realty, said: “Despite the high numbers of unsold EC units, we are still seeing heightened interest in the EC segment. The rather high level of competition for the site in Yio Chu Kang Road could be due to its ease of accessibility via driving and proximity to Rosyth School, which runs the Gifted Education Programme”
“Also, the new launch land site in Yio Chu Kang Road is in an estate surrounded by HDB flats of Serangoon North, Hougang and accessible to Ang Mo Kio, provides for a ready catchment pool for developers. The final development will likely be a family-oriented project, aimed at those with children.
ECs are a public-private hybrid housing form with initial buyer eligibility and resale conditions that are completely lifted 10 years after an EC project has been completed.
JLL national director Ong Teck Hui pointed out that although this land site in Yio Chu Kang Road is not next to an MRT station, it is a bus ride or short drive away from Serangoon Station and also enjoys good road connectivity with the Central Expressway within easy reach.
Based on the highest bid by the tenderer, selling prices for this development in Yio Chu Kang Road will possibly be around S$750 psf to S$800 psf,” he added.
Hoi Hup's construction arm Straits Construction will build the project.
"We're looking at a project of about 560 units, of which a majority of about 70 per cent will be three-bedroom apartments, followed by about 15 per cent of units that will be four-bedders. The rest of the units will have either two or five bedrooms."
Mr Nicholas Mak, head of research and consultancy at SLP International Property Consultants, noted that the top bid was 6.1 per cent higher than the second-highest bid, illustrating the aggressive bid by the developer.
He added: “The top bid is 18.2 per cent higher than the land price of the new launch EC site launch at Anchorvale Crescent in the same Sengkang planning area, which closed in January 2015 at S$280 psfppr. As the new land site in Yio Chu Kang Road is nearer to amenities such as mall, hawker centre and reputable schools, the higher land premium is expected.
