Can CityDev nip its profits slump in the bud in H2?

It's pinning hopes on three major property developments.

City Developments (CDL) has a lot to look forward to in the second half of 2016, as an estimated $605m is knocking on the company's door.

According to a report by DBS, the sum will be recognised from three property developments expected to be completed in the latter half of the year—Gramercy Park (completed in 2Q16); Handover House, Reading, UK; and Hong Leong City Center, Suzhou.

"CDL had a soft launch with 30 units in Gramercy Park and has sold 31 units to-date. Handover House, Reading, UK project (100% sold) was completed in July 2016, and management expects to recognise property sales of GBP18m (S$32m) in 3Q16," DBS stated.

"Hong Leong City Center, Suzhou phase 1 (69% sold) is expected to complete by 4Q16, with total sales value to-date of RMB2bn (S$400m)," it added.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
