The site is close to a set of three parks in central Singapore
A real estate developer controlled by the family behind United Overseas Bank has placed the top bid for a residential site overlooking a set of parks in central Singapore, edging out 14 other contestants including a joint offer by City Developments Ltd and a unit of Hongkong Land, according to an official announcement.
UOL Group Ltd joined with its subsidiary, Singapore Land Group Ltd and Kheng Leong Company, a private real estate business of UOL Group chairman Wee Cho Yaw, to offer S$381.4 million ($287 million) for the rights to a 31,699 square metre (341,205 square foot) project along Ang Mo Kio Avenue 1 near the Mayflower MRT station, which is slated to open later this year.

The Lower Peirce Reservoir is Singapore s second-oldest reservoir. Be one with nature and marvel at the stunning views of regenerating secondary forests that line the reservoir as well as a variety of flora and fauna via the 900-metre boardwalk. You can still find rubber trees and oil palms from the time where large areas in Singapore were covered with plantations. Posted:
