Bedok and Bishan key to CapitaLand over next six months: Analysts

CapitaLand may have only sold 67 units in 3Q2011 at The Interlance, d’Leedon and Urban resorts, down from 271 units in 1H2011, so must make up ground with new launches in the heartlands.

Analysts from OCBC note that the slowdown in CapitaLand’s Singapore sales, which amounted to just $150 million in the last quarter compared to $585 million in the first half, will have to be made up for with new launches in these outlying districts over the next six months.

According to Kim Eng Securities, next quarter will see Capitaland launch the 583 unit 'Bedok Residences' development, which should sell for around $1300 psf with a beakeven of $1,206 psf. Next year will see it launch a new project in the first quarter in Bishan.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
