It stands inside Chip Hock Gardens, a landed housing territory off Farrer Road, at Gallop Park in prime District 10. It’s also a short range from the Botanic Gardens.
TAP says the financial investment is in line with its asset-light, co-investment strategy, enabling the team to join property growth while limiting its capital commitment.
While TAP did not disclose the purchase price, a caveat lodged in February displays that the removed residence, that sits on a freehold site of 10,801 sq ft, was acquired for $22 million, or $2,037 psf. The acquisition was finished on Aug 5, TAP announced on Aug 6.
The loan represents about 3.6% of the group’s most current audited net tangible properties. As this is below the 5% threshold under Catalist policies, shareholders’ authorization is not called for. TAP included that all the joint venture associates are providing their fundings in proportion to their risks and on the similar terms.
TAP’s entirely owned subsidiary, TAP Co-living, will be appointed project manager for the redevelopment. It will likewise be associated with the sales and marketing technique for the 5 houses, on terms to be agreed amongst the shared project partners.
