HUDC Projects Back in the Limelight
HUDC flats, built by the Housing and Urban Development Company, were introduced in the 1970s to cater to middle-income families whose income exceeded the ceiling set by the Housing and Development Board (HDB) for its flats but were unable to afford private properties as well. There were altogether 18 HUDC projects comprising 7,731 residential and 23 shop units. In 1995, the privatisation programme for HUDC estates was announced to allow owners more say over their estates, subject to a minimum support level of 75%. The building of HUDC flats was then phased out following the introduction of executive condominiums in 1999. Just last month, HUDC projects returned to the limelight after a unit in Shunfu Ville, currently being privatised, was reported to have been sold for SGD1.28m. Parliament also recently amended The HUDC Housing Estates Bill to allow owners of Braddell View units with a shorter leasehold to top up the lease tenure. The project holds two separate leasehold dates, which made it difficult to agree on privatisation costs. HUDC estates are widely recognised as potential candidates for collective sales as individual unit owners cannot top up the lease tenure on their own. To date, five of the 12 HUDC estates that have been privatised were successfully sold en bloc. Farrer Court made the headlines in 2007 when it asked for a selling price of SGD1.5b, or SGD638 psf, making it the largest en bloc deal at the time. However, buyers ended up with a lower, albeit still favourable, price of SGD1.34b, or SGD570 psf. After this high-profile deal, there were a series of failed collective sale offers as developers appetite for large sites has largely subsided by then. Subsequently, owners resorted to selling their flats individually. Currently, HUDC projects have a remaining tenure of 63-72 years.

PRIVATISED HUDC ESTATES


79 units sold this year. A total of 79 privatised HUDC units have been transacted YTD with the average size at 1,627 sq ft and ASP of SGD800 psf. Laguna Park was the most actively transacted estate. In Eunosville, the asking price for flats started at just below SGD1m, or SGD593 psf, in 2011, the year it was privatised. Since then, prices have risen by 30% and crossed the SGD1.3m in August.

A total of 77 units above 1,500 sqft were transacted in District 19 YTD at an average price of SGD1.8m, or SGD894 psf. Lakeview Estate is categorised as one of the older estates in this area but it appears to be transacting at just a 9.4% discount to the rest of the private estates here. New projects such as Centro Residences, Sky Habitat and Thomson Grand have an ASP of SGD1,426 psf. Assuming a redevelopment and using the latest market transaction prices as a benchmark, we estimate the breakeven cost for Lakeview Estate to be SGD1,299 psf.
