En-Bloc Potential
A heuristic read of land/redevelopment fundamentals — not a prediction that a collective sale will happen. Whether one succeeds hinges on owner consent, reserve-price expectations, and market timing. Only ~1 in 10 en-bloc attempts complete, and realised premiums have averaged ~14% (owners often expect 40%+). For an ageing leasehold, weigh this against near-certain lease decay while you wait.
