CapitaLand to get more than S$100m from bundled deal with ART

CapLand's S$98.9m profit from the sale of its two assets excludes gains from the eventual sale of the redeveloped Cairnhill Somerset back to Ascott Residence Trust.

According to OCBC, ART would acquire two assets, Ascott Raffles Place and Ascott Guangzhou, from CAPL for S$220.0m and S$63.3m, respectively. "From these transactions, CAPL is expected to book a combined gains of S$98.9m in FY12, including S$51.4m from the Raffles Place and Ascott divestments, and S$42.7m for its proportionate stake in ART’s divestment of SGCS."   

CIMB adds that the S$98.9m in net profit on the divestments excludes potential development upside from the eventual sale of the redeveloped SR portion of Cairnhill Somerset back to ART in 2017.

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.
