Ascendas REIT seals $110m deal with Jurong Town Corporation

The project is a 25k sqm business park site at Fusionopolis which comprises 60% business park space and 40% office space.

Given that A-REIT’s bid was top of the list at ~S$4.4k psf ppr, a 29% premium to the closest bid, it came as no surprise that A-REIT has won the bid, says DMG.

Here's more from DMG:

The news: Ascendas REIT (A-REIT) has been awarded the business park site at Fusionopolis for S$110m by Jurong Town Corporation (JTC). Completion of the business park is expected in 3QFY14. The site will be a modern suburban business facility of 25k sqm GFA, comprising 60% business park space and 40% office space to cater to prospective tenants from IT and Media industries.

Our thoughts: We view A-REIT’s latest award positively as this will strengthen A-REIT’s leadership position in the Business & Science Parks segment. In addition, we believe the close proximity of the business park site at Fusionopolis with other A-REIT’s properties within the one-north region and Science Parks I & II will allow A-REIT to reap cost synergies. However, given the lack of immediate catalysts in the
next 12 months, we believe A-REIT is currently fairly valued. Maintain NEUTRAL on A-REIT with unchanged TP of S$2.00.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
