    • Johor Crown Prince Reportedly Seeking to Sell 16.6ha of Singapore Land, Tax Could Reach S$2.7b   👉 https://goodyfeed.com/johor-crown-prince-reportedly-seeking-to-sell-16-6ha-of-singapore-land-tax-could-reach-s2-7b/   Full Details: Johor Crown Prince Reportedly Seeking to Sell 16.6ha of Singapore Land   Overview   Reported by Bloomberg on 3 September 2026 — Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim, Crown Prince and Regent of Johor, is reportedly seeking to sell a 16.6-hectare prime land parcel located around Holland Road and Tyersall Avenue, close to the Singapore Botanic Gardens. The transaction could rank among Singapore's largest-ever property deals, but a massive potential Land Betterment Charge (LBC) — estimated at up to S$2.7–3 billion — has emerged as a major complication.       👤 Owner & Background   - Owner: Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim, Crown Prince and Regent of Johor - Land ownership roots: The land in the Holland Road / Tyersall Park area has been privately held by the Johor royal family since the 1800s  - Current status: Tunku Ismail's representatives have approached potential buyers — including parties from the US and elsewhere — but negotiations are reportedly at an early stage and may not result in a sale       📍 The Land & 2025 Land Swap   The 16.6ha parcel is the result of a land swap agreement announced 10 June 2025 between Tunku Ismail and the Singapore Government :   Before Swap After Swap  Tunku Ismail owned 21.1ha of land in the area[__LINK_ICON] Transferred a 13ha plot closer to the Botanic Gardens to the Government[__LINK_ICON]  — Received 8.5ha of State land in exchange[__LINK_ICON]  — Retained his existing 8.1ha parcel[__LINK_ICON]  — Total remaining: 16.6ha (8.5ha + 8.1ha)    Purpose of swap: To shift development further away from the Singapore Botanic Gardens, a UNESCO World Heritage Site . The government will keep the 13ha transferred plot undeveloped for now .       🏗️ Development Application & Rezoning   - March 2026: Tunku Ismail submitted a development application to build low-rise, low-density housing (gross plot ratio of 1.4) plus Good Class Bungalows (GCBs) - URA's proposal: Rezone the land to residential use, with part designated as a Good Class Bungalow Area if approved - July 2026: A hearing was held to consider objections and representations regarding the proposed rezoning - Status: Final development approval is still pending; timing remains unclear       💰 Land Valuation   - Estimated value after rezoning: S$3.8–4.7 billion (Nicholas Mak, Mogul.sg) - Alternative estimate: At least S$3 billion (another valuer cited by Bloomberg) - These figures represent the land value itself — before any tax or LBC       ⚠️ The Land Betterment Charge (LBC) — The S$2.7B Issue   What is LBC?   The Land Betterment Charge is a levy introduced 1 August 2022 that replaced the older Development Charge and Differential Premium systems . It is calculated as the difference between the land's value before and after planning approval (e.g. rezoning to a more valuable use or higher development intensity) .   Estimated LBC Liability   - Nicholas Mak (Mogul.sg): S$2.5–2.7 billion - Tay Kah Poh (Singapore Institute of Surveyors and Valuers): Could approach S$3 billion, though actual figure may be lower since pre-rezoning value is not fully known - Important caveat: No final bill has been issued. The Singapore Land Authority (SLA) confirmed the actual amount will only be determined after development permission is granted.   Liability & Negotiation Stance   - Default rule: The landowner at the time chargeable consent is granted is liable for the LBC - Transfer option: Liability can be contractually assumed by another party (e.g. a buyer) if requirements are met - Sticking point: Tunku Ismail is reportedly seeking to have the buyer bear the full LBC cost. The size and uncertainty of this bill have reportedly made prospective Singaporean and Malaysian developers cautious about proceeding       📌 Key Facts & Uncertainties   - Reported sale: Based on sources familiar with negotiations; Tunku Ismail's representative declined to comment - SLA position: Does not comment on market speculation or private transactions - Two separate uncertainties: The sale itself is not finalised, and the eventual LBC amount remains undetermined until development approval is granted - The land is freehold and located in one of Singapore's most prestigious residential districts
