Sales Activity in High-Potential Condos
Are buyers targeting en-bloc candidates? This section compares transaction activity in high-scoring vs low-scoring condos.
Of the 5,960 leasehold condo sales this quarter, 0.7% occurred in condos with a High en-bloc feasibility score. The relatively low share indicates that en-bloc potential is not a primary driver of buyer demand this quarter.

The En-Bloc Process: Key Steps
Owners form a Collective Sale Committee (CSC) via an EOGM with at least 30% quorum. The CSC is the official body to drive the en-bloc process.
The CSC appoints a property consultancy to handle valuations, marketing, and negotiations with potential developers.
Owners sign the Collective Sale Agreement (CSA). The CSC must secure consent from owners holding at least 80% (if building is 10+ years old) or 90% of share values.
Once the consent threshold is met and a buyer secured, the CSC applies to the Strata Titles Board (STB) for a collective sale order.
After STB approval, the sale completes and owners receive their share of the sale proceeds. Owners typically have 6 months to vacate.

Scoring Methodology
The en-bloc feasibility score rates each leasehold condo on a 0-100 scale using five weighted factors:
| Factor | Max Points | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Building Age | 30 | Older buildings have higher land-to-building value ratios, making demolition viable |
| Lease Remaining | 25 | Shorter leases create urgency for owners and lower acquisition costs for developers |
| Unit Count | 20 | Fewer units = easier to reach 80% consent threshold |
| Location | 15 | Prime segments (CCR) command higher land values and developer bids |
| Plot Ratio | 10 | Higher allowable density means more sellable area after redevelopment |
Verdicts: High (65-100) — strong candidate; Moderate (40-64) — some potential; Low (0-39) — unlikely in near term.
Note: Plot ratio data is not available in the current dataset. A mid-range assumption of 4/10 points is applied uniformly. Actual plot ratios vary by site and can be verified on the URA Master Plan.
