Situated at the joint of Arthur Road and Mountbatten Road in prime District 15 in the East Coast, Liv@MB is in the area of the cottages in the Mountbatten Road sanctuary. Liv@MB is a redevelopment of the previous Katong Park Towers, which Bukit Sembawang had actually acquired en bloc for $345 million in March 2018.
The architect for Liv@MB is Arc Studio Architecture + Urbanism, the engineer behind Pinnacle@Duxton, Singapore’s very first high-rise public housing job in the city area. Ong & Ong is Bukit Sembawang’s landscape specialist for Liv@MB.
” The District 15 building leverages Bukit Sembawang’s deep knowledge in creating landed houses by creating a special private neighborhood that prioritises the living and leisure areas of its residents,” states Ho Jenny, basic manager, marketing & sales at Bukit Sembawang. Liv@MB is also said to be “a stone’s throw from the green corridors of East Coast Park as well as the future Kallang River Master Plan”.
By lunch break the other day, all the one- as well as two-bedroom units were taken up. In the afternoon from 2pm to about 5pm, buying passion proceeded to be solid, and also these were generally owner occupiers, looking at the 3- as well as four-bedroom units.
” People were attracted to Liv@MB despite its 99-year lease due to the style of the task, closeness to the upcoming Katong Park MRT station as well as the way of life in the East Coast,” claims Gafoor.
There is additionally an absence of brand-new real estate supply in the Rest of Central Region (RCR) and also Outside Central Region (OCR). According to URA as well as PropNex Research, unsold real estate supply in the RCR amounted to just 4,612 units, and in the OCR, it totaled up to 3,892 devices as at 1Q2022. Total unsold real estate supply stood at a historic low of 14,087 units as at end 1Q2022. In District 15 specifically, brand-new unsold systems amounted to less than 100 units before the launch of Liv@MB, Gafoor explains. “And there was no new supply of one- as well as two-bedroom devices in the location,” he adds.
Desmond Sim, CEO of Edmund Tie, notes: “Liv@MB hit the appropriate notes in terms of location and affordability. “Most of the two-bedroom systems were valued below $2 million, and in terms of its location in the prime East Coast area, it is eye-catching. It’s not unusual that the one- and two-bedroom systems were amongst the first to go.”
Homebuyers are cognizant that City Developments Ltd (CDL) paid $768 million or $1,302 psf per story ratio for the 99-year leasehold website at Jalan Tembusu at the close of the government land tender in January this year, keeps in mind Gafoor. “Prices in the upcoming job are not likely to be lower than $2,300 psf given the land cost of $1,302 psf ppr,” he adds. “This provided further self-confidence to capitalists with a tool- to lasting horizon.”
Undoubtedly, the “psychological level of $2,000 psf and also past” for tasks shows up to have actually been accepted by customers “in order to enter into a great item at an excellent area”, states Lee Sze Teck, senior director (research), Huttons Asia. “We anticipate the favorable views from Piccadilly Grand and LIV@MB to spillover to other project launches in the months in advance.”
One of the most popular devices at Liv@MB were said to be the one- as well as two-bedroom systems, which are completely marketed, with the 3- and also four-bedroom units substantially marketed too
Piccadilly Grand, an additional 99-year leasehold apartment in the city edge, was introduced a fortnight ago, and saw 77% of the 407 units taken up over one weekend on May 8-9. Ordinary cost achieved for the project in District 8 was $2,150 psf.
“This is truly exceptional versus the backdrop of cooling down measures in December 2021, climbing rate of interest prices, increasing inflation and global uncertainties. The appealing entry rate from $2,080 psf better sweetened the deal.”
Actually, the typical cost psf for Liv@MB is more detailed to $2,400 psf due to the fact that the smaller systems on the high-floor accomplished prices over $2,600 psf, notes PropNex’s Gafoor.
One of the most current launches in the vicinity of Liv@MB remained in 2019 and were upscale tasks in the neighbourhood of Meyer Road, particularly the 56-unit MeyerHouse, the 66-unit One Meyer as well as the 200-unit Meyer Mansion.
To day, Meyer Mansion is 72.5% sold with systems averaging $2,639 psf, according to URA Realis. One Meyer, released in March 2019, has only 5 unsold devices, and also ordinary rate attained is $2,592 psf.
” These jobs in the area of Meyer Road are freehold and also therefore, rates are better to $3,000 psf,” notes Nicholas Mak, head of research study & working as a consultant at ERA Realty Network. “Liv @ megabytes remains in a noticeable area, within a 10-minute drive to the CBD. It has a great catchment of customers who are currently living in the eastern. And also it remains in an area of predominantly landed home. For this reason, being 99-year leasehold, its entry level rate is extra digestible.”
According to Bukit Sembawang’s Jenny: “We are encouraged by the feedback from critical buyers who were attracted by the place, modern building style, high quality ending up, thoughtful formats and also great touches used with our homes”.
The sales gallery and showflats “will be briefly closed until more notice” after today.

In District 15 in specific, brand-new unsold devices amounted to fewer than 100 systems prior to the launch of Liv@MB, Gafoor points out.
