Nassim Road Good Class Bungalow asking $2,977 psf
On Nassim Road, where the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia was once located, a 2-storey conservation Good Class Bungalow (GCB) is being sold by tender with a guide price of $175 million.
Good Class Bungalows on Nassim Road are hard to come by, and the fact that a rare one is up for sale, analysts are expecting the buyer to be an ultra-high-net-worth new Singapore citizen who does not yet own private landed properties in Singapore. Singapore property is often seen as a trophy asset for these new citizens and it will not be surprising if this site is picked up by such an individual.

Good Class Bungalows along the exclusive enclaves of Nassim Road and Cluny Road have been making waves in the market recently. The largest deal to date of a GCB in the area was $230 million for an 85,543 sq ft plot, or at $2,721 psf to Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin. Another 15,099 sq ft GCB on Cluny Road was sold for $50 million.
There are only 39 clusters of GCBs in Singapore, with about 2,800 plots in total. The rarity and exclusivity of these plots make them much-desired assets. As this current plot is considerably massive and considering the fact that the value of this asset class rarely falls drastically, investors and owner-occupiers alike could be vying for it.
