The likelihood of a project having high en bloc potential in Singapore is influenced by several factors unique to each development. Projects with older buildings, large land plots, underutilized plot ratios, and strategic locations tend to be more attractive for collective sale because developers can maximize returns by redeveloping the site for higher density or more desirable use.
Common traits that increase en bloc potential include:
- Older age of the development, which may result in lower maintenance standards and higher redevelopment value.
- Large land size, enabling significant redevelopment advantage.
- Low existing plot ratio relative to allowable maximum, making it possible to build more units or taller buildings.
- Prime or improving location, such as proximity to MRT stations, popular schools, and growth corridors.
- Strong consensus among owners, which is necessary to achieve the required 80–90% agreement threshold for a successful en bloc.
- Potential for higher developer profit upon redevelopment, often in areas with rising property values or demand.
EdgeProp Singapore’s En Bloc Calculator uses a data-driven approach to estimate the probability of a project going en bloc by considering these variables against historic trends and recent market activity. This allows owners and buyers to make better-informed decisions about the risk and opportunity associated with collective sales.
