Acted for Far East Organization in the developer's project The Greenwood, a 54-unit strata landed housing development. The project is sited on freehold land but Far East is selling the units with a 103-year lease instead of a freehold tenure, thereby retaining a reversionary interest in the site. There have been earlier, though rare, cases of owners of freehold land who sold a leasehold interest to third party developers, who in turn transferred their leasehold interests to purchasers of units in the development. However, The Greenwood project is the first instance of an owner/developer being able to retain its freehold interest, while transferring a leasehold interest in the units directly to the purchasers. Advised Far East on this novel structure, which was also used in Far East's two other subsequent housing projects on freehold land, Shore Residences and Cabana.
