To shorten the evaluation, the owner’s equity part is disregarded in the following computation.

• The Sail @ Marina Bay – between $2,000 – $3,300 psf
• International Plaza – $1,100 range
• Icon – $1,600 – $1,700 psf

Credit Stance of the Singapore Banks
Banks have generally been more careful in managing their loan portfolios, investment funds, and credit facility offer. Banks such as Citibank that were greatly affected during the worldwide economic downturn or sub-prime crisis are strongly adding the loan package named Sibor with trend exhibiting around + 0.5% ascending to 0.9% in June 2010. HSBC bank in Singapore reacted with the competitive offer and strongly campaign for their types of credit facilities.
