Ezra Holdings’ Lee family has put their waterway-fronting Sentosa Cove bungalow on the block, months after they sold a Good Class Bungalow (GCB) along Windsor Park Road last October for a cool S$22 million.
The exclusive two-storey five-bedroom property in the South Cove precinct was put on the market after the Chinese New Year festivities. It comes with a price tag of S$26 million, or S$2,258 per square foot on land area, which industry watchers deem “reasonable”.
The property is held by Lee Kian Soo, Ezra’s founder and chairman and father of Lionel Lee, the offshore marine firm’s chief executive and managing director.
Based on a corporate profile search, the Sentosa Cove property is listed as Mr Lionel Lee’s address.
The property, which boasts a private berth, has a total floor area of 12,400 sq ft and a land area of 11,515 sq ft. The bungalow is on a site with a balance lease term of about 91 years.
The most recent transaction of a villa on Sentosa Cove was in the fourth quarter of last year, when a bungalow along Lakeshore View fronting Serapong Golf Course sold for S$23.8 million or S$2,775 psf. This was the highest price (on psf of land) fetched by a bungalow in the waterfront housing district in more than two years.
In October last year, Mr Lionel Lee and his mother Goh Gaik Choo are said to have sold their Balinese-style GCB located off Upper Thomson Road for S$21.8 million; the price translated to $1,070 psf on the freehold land area of 20,383 sq ft. Completed in 2006, the house has two storeys, a basement carpark and a roof terrace for functions.
These properties are not the only assets that have been shuffled or sold by the family, particularly by Mr Lionel Lee, in recent months.
