From the earlier article on sale of Colorscan building at 21 Kim Keat Road, it has been successfully acquired by a boutique developer BS Capital for just over $36 million or $670 per square foot of potential gross floor area, including an estimated development charge of almost $25 million.

Not sure if you still recall the NKF saga that happened years back.

If you are confused why there is a Kim Keat Avenue in Toa Payoh, and Kim Keat Road in Balestier and Whampoa area, the reason being that the Kim Keat area is divided up by the construction of Pan Island Expressway in early time. However one is still able to walk over from Kim Keat Road toward Lian Shan Shuang Lin Monastry in Kim Keat Avenue using the overhead bridge. Kim Keat Area consist of Kim Keat Road/Lane/Close, and Kim Keat Avenue. It is off Balestier Road. It was named …

A 3 bedroom unit of 1335 sqft from Kim Keat Garden is calling for $755,000, working out to be $565 psf is quite a steal. Though it is a 99 year tenure development with only basic provision of carpark and security, it is quite a good bargain with surrounding resale prices fetched from $800 psf to $1000psf. Bliss Loft located next to Kim Keat Garden, a new launched freehold apartment with condo facilities, is fetching close to $1000 psf.
