The former Vista Park condo(now Kent Ridge Hill Residences condo) had a total of 209 residential units that include townhouses with a 99 year lease that starts from 1979. Sitting on a  319,250 sq ft site, owners initially had a reserve price of $323 million and an asking price of $350 million to be sold collectively. The eventual selling price was at $418 million or 19.4% higher than the asking price. This means that owners will get between $1.39 million and S$4.18 million per unit, which is more than double the market price if they were to sell them individually. 

As Kent Ridge Hill Residences at South Buona Vista Road only has a balance of 66 years when developer Oxley Holdings took over, they will be paying for a lease top-up premium estimated at $72 million. Together with the premium, the Kent Ridge Hill Residences price of the land is around $490 million or $1,096 psf per plot ratio (ppr) for the 446,951 sq ft gross floor area (GFA) site, bearing a plot ratio of 1.4 and maximum allowable height of five-storeys.

Kent Ridge Hill Residences developer Oxley Holdings

Kent Ridge Hill Residences is yet another project to be developed by locally renowned Oxley Holdings. Not new at all to the real estate scene and extremely aggressive recently in land acquisition, they have the largest land bank in Singapore today. Just looking at the sales of their recently launched projects such as Riverfront Residences(Former Rio Casa) at Hougang Avenue 7, Affinity at Serangoon(Former Serangoon Ville) at Serangoon North, The Addition at Potong Pasir, Sea Pavilion Residences at Upper East Coast Road and Sixteen35 Residences, it is evident that their product is highly popular among buyers in Singapore. Out of their many en blocs and land bids, the closest to Kent Ridge Residences condo will be Verandah Residences. Sold out recently, the Pasir Panjang condo is the former Redwood West where all of the 170 units were snapped up in 3 months. As seen from the high demand in this area, it is expected that the new Kent Ridge Hill Residences nearby will see equal or better demand with it’s larger land size.
