— The cost stack

From land bid to breakeven.

This is the part no one else publishes. We derive the breakeven from the cost side up — RLB construction benchmarks and URA transaction data — then read the launch price it implies. Analyst consensus is a cross-check at the end, never the input.

The read
—

Land rate is the actual awarded tender (URA) for the selected site; Roncasa breakeven is our calibrated all-in cost figure (the awarded sites with a published figure carry one). The "build + finance + fees + marketing" bar is that breakeven minus the land rate — construction anchored to RLB benchmarks, the rest stated assumptions. Implied launch adds a 10–16% developer margin to breakeven. No analyst estimate was used as an input.

Amberwood at Holland: Sim Lian's 17-Year Wait — and Why Holland Plain Could Be Singapore's Next Benchmark Precinct

Sim Lian has locked up two of Holland Plain's eight GLS plots at $1,432–1,491 psf ppr and built a no-studio, family-first launch — the same first-mover playbook that took Lentor Modern's early buyers 14% up in three years.

A CapitaLand–UOL–SingLand consortium bid 13.8% above the field for Bedok's first new condo site in 15 years — the land rate pencils out to a ~$3,000 psf launch, right where PropNex, CBRE and Knight Frank estimates already converge.

Little India Conservation Cluster: What YK Land's 48% Bid Premium Actually Tells You

Seven bids, one outlier. YK Land's $962 psf ppr top bid sits 48% above the second — a gap that reveals how differently developers are reading this unique conservation site.
