Freehold Nanak Mansions site sold to UOL Group associate for S$201.1 million

The freehold Nanak Mansions development in Meyer Road has been bought by an associate of UOL Group in a $201.1 million en bloc deal.

It was the fourth freehold residential site in the Meyer-Amber Roads vicinity to have come on the market this year.

UOL told the Singapore Exchange in a filing on Thursday (Sept 28) that its 50 per cent-owned associate, Secure Venture Development (No. 1), will redevelop the 10,185 sq m site, which has a gross plot ratio of 1.4.

“Meyer Road is a highly coveted address. Given its rare location right next to a park, we see the opportunity to develop this site into a luxury and spacious project which can be dubbed as our ‘Nassim Residences of the East’,” said UOL deputy group chief executive Liam Wee Sin in a statement.

The sale will be funded mainly by bank borrowings and internal resources.
