Taking into account the development charge payable, the acquisition cost amounts to S$1,073 per square foot per plot ratio (inclusive of balcony area).

The deal came just a day after Oxley completed a placement of new shares which raised S$78.1 million in net proceeds from investors, including "prominent institutional investors" from Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia and the United Kingdom.
