# Trendale Tower back on market for en bloc sale at S$168 million guide price - **Source:** The Business Times - **Published:** 2026-09-16T09:07:09.000Z - **Author:** Chong Xin Wei - **Original:** https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/property/trendale-tower-back-market-en-bloc-sale-s168-million-guide-price - **Topics:** Private Residential, Commercial & Industrial, Transactions & Deals ## Featured rationale The potential SA2 use may broaden interest beyond residential developers to investors and serviced-apartment operators, potentially improving redevelopment options for the freehold District 9 site. ## AI summary Trendale Tower has returned for collective sale at S$168 million, equivalent to about S$2,248 psf ppr, with the tender closing on Oct 23. ## Original article [SINGAPORE] The owners of Trendale Tower are making another attempt at an en bloc sale, offering the freehold site in the prime Cairnhill enclave at a guide price of S$168 million. The price tag reflects a rate of about S$2,248 per square foot per plot ratio (psf ppr), after factoring a 7 per cent bonus gross floor area (GFA) for balconies, marketing agent Knight Frank noted on Wednesday (Sep 16). The site, which spans 21,709 square feet (sq ft), is zoned residential with a gross plot ratio of 2.8. It could be redeveloped into a new residential project, or a long-stay serviced apartment project under the Serviced Apartment 2 (SA2) scheme. The Urban Redevelopment Authority has “indicated support for the proposed SA2 use”, Knight Frank said, adding that this would be subject to detailed approvals and regulatory requirements under an outline planning permission application. Melvin Chay, senior director at Knight Frank Singapore, said interest is expected “from residential developers, from private investors and family offices looking to hold an entire freehold block for wealth preservation and recurring income, and from operators in the growing long-stay serviced accommodation segment”. Trendale Tower, which is located in District 9, comprises 18 apartments in a 20-storey block. Owners have made several previous attempts at a collective sale. The development was last put on the market in December 2022 at a reserve price of S$168 million, following an August 2022 launch at a guide price of S$178 million that closed with no takers. An earlier attempt in May 2018, at a reserve price of about S$163.5 million, also failed to secure a buyer. Tucked between Orchard and Newton, Trendale Tower is close to the Orchard shopping belt, as well as hospitality, medical and lifestyle amenities. The wider Newton precinct is set for further rejuvenation, with about 5,000 new homes planned across Newton Circus, Scotts Road and Monk’s Hill. Recent state land tenders in the area have drawn firm interest. A Bukit Timah Road site next to Newton station garnered eight bids in November 2025, with the top bid of S$566.3 million, or S$1,820 psf ppr, submitted by HH Investment. In June this year, a tie-up between City Developments Ltd and Hong Realty topped three other bidders for a nearby Peck Hay Road plot with an offer of SS$542.4 million, or S$1,865 psf ppr. The public tender exercise for Trendale Tower closes on Oct 23. ## Chinese translation > Translation model: grok_cli ### Trendale Tower再度挂牌集体出售，指导价1.68亿新元 这幅优质第九区地段或可重建为长住型服务公寓项目 [新加坡] Trendale Tower业主正再次尝试集体出售，将该位于优质经禧地段的永久地契地块以1.68亿新元的指导价推出。 该价格相当于每平方英尺容积率（psf ppr）约2248新元，已计入7%的阳台奖励总楼面面积（GFA），营销代理莱坊（Knight Frank）于星期三（9月16日）指出。 该地块占地21,709平方英尺（sq ft），规划为住宅用途，总容积率为2.8。它可重建为新的住宅项目，或根据服务公寓2（SA2）计划重建为长住型服务公寓项目。 市区重建局已“表明支持拟议的SA2用途”，莱坊表示，并补充称，这须视详细审批以及大纲规划许可申请下的监管要求而定。 莱坊新加坡高级董事Melvin Chay表示，预计兴趣将来自“住宅发展商、寻求持有整栋永久地契大厦以保值并获取经常性收入的私人投资者和家族办公室，以及日益增长的长住型服务住宿领域的运营商”。 Trendale Tower位于第九区，由一栋20层楼内的18套公寓组成。 业主此前已多次尝试集体出售。 该项目上次于2022年12月以1.68亿新元的底价挂牌，此前于2022年8月以1.78亿新元的指导价推出，但未能觅得买家。 更早一次尝试是在2018年5月，底价约1.635亿新元，同样未能找到买家。 Trendale Tower夹在乌节与牛顿之间，靠近乌节购物带，以及酒店、医疗和生活方式配套。 更广泛的牛顿地区料将进一步焕新，牛顿圆环、史各士路和蒙克山一带规划约5000套新住房。 近期该区的国有土地招标吸引了稳健兴趣。 一幅毗邻牛顿站的武吉知马路地块于2025年11月获得8份标书，最高出价为5.663亿新元，即每平方英尺容积率1820新元，由HH Investment提交。 今年6月，城市发展有限公司（City Developments Ltd）与Hong Realty组成的联合体以5.424亿新元、即每平方英尺容积率1865新元的出价，击败另外三名竞标者，拿下附近碧海路地块。 Trendale Tower的公开招标将于10月23日截止。
