| ● 何丽丽 报道 在房地产领域初试拳脚的凯利板上市公司新加坡特速置地（SingXpress Land），第一个私宅项目推出市场便获得不俗的成绩。 由该公司部分发展，位于实龙岗路上段和爵登路（Charlton Road）交界处、前和平大厦（Foh Pin Mansion）地段上的Charlton Residences，在11月初开始预展至今已经售出80％，单位平均价格为280万元。 新加坡特速置地与ACT控股私人有限公司去年携手以2140万元标得的这块永久地契集体出售地段，将建造21间三层楼的大型聚落式洋房（cluster housing）。前者拥有项目80％股权，后者持其余的20％。 新加坡特速置地执行董事陈统武昨天接受本报电访时表示，有地住宅的需求仍然强劲，该项目的买家以住在附近的提升者居多，至今已经售出17个单位。 他不认为政府新一轮的降温措施会影响买气，毕竟聚落式洋房只供新加坡公民购买，永久居民要购买必须先获得批准。 除了Charlton Residences，新加坡特速置地也将在建屋发展局的设计、兴建及销售计划（DBSS）下，在白沙发展私人组屋项目。此外，公司也在去年11月标得马里士他路235号的志远大厦（Waldorf Mansions）集体出售地段，计划在这个地段上建造楼高20层的豪华共管公寓项目——SingXpress Mansions。 陈统武表示，由于私人组屋也只供本地人购买，因此同样不受新措施影响。至于预计将在明年下半年推出市场的SingXpress Mansions，他也不认为会受到严重波及，因为海外买家主要在本地购买超豪华私宅项目，新措施相信将主要影响这类项目的销售。 他指出，新措施或将使得整体房地产市场放慢下来，地皮价格可能也会回落，是公司标地的好时机。 他说，公司未来将着重于较不受经济放缓影响的项目，包括执行共管公寓（Executive Condominium，简称EC）项目在内。《联合早报》*holily@sph.com.sg
| Charlton Residences sees brisk sales | Business Times: Tue, Dec 13 |
| (SINGAPORE) Catalist-listed SingXpress Land Ltd's (SingXpress Land's) latest freehold development, Charlton Residences, continues to draw keen interest from buyers despite worsening market conditions. It has sold around 80 per cent of its units even before the project's official launch in January 2012. Commenting on the strong turn-out at preview events that started in early November, managing director of SingXpress Land, Chan Heng Fai said: 'We are very pleased with the strong sales of Charlton Residences. It demonstrates the demand for housing with quality design and situated at a good location which the project offers.' Property agents attribute the freehold cluster housing project's brisk sales to its affordable pricing and close proximity to Kovan MRT Station and schools such as Holy Innocents' High School, Paya Lebar Methodist Girls' School, and Rosyth School. Units at the three-storey residential development were sold at an average of $2.8 million per unit or about $500 per square foot (psf) and range from 5,350 square feet (sq ft) to 7,696 sq ft in size, with 6 bedrooms and two car park lots each. Other projects in the listed company's pipeline include a Housing & Development Board (HDB) Design, Build and Sell Scheme (DBSS) development in Pasir Ris and a 20-storey freehold condominium on the former en-bloc site of Waldorf Mansions, which are slated to be launched in the first quarter and second half of next year respectively. When asked about the potential impact of the recently implemented Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty (ABSD) on the group's projects, director of SingXpress Land, Chan Tung Moe said that it could affect the sentiments negatively. However, he said that the group is unlikely to be adversely affected by the move as its property portfolio caters more to a local customer base, as opposed to permanent residents or foreigners. In addition, SingXpress Land has also expressed its intention to expand its land bank as 'increasing opportunities' arise on the back of softening prices. Said Mr Chan: 'We have the next one to two years to accumulate our land bank to position ourselves for future developments.'
