CapitaLand to shell out cash for man-made island in Malaysia

The 28.33ha project is reportedly worth RM4-5b.

According to OCBC, it was reported in news yesterday that Capitaland Malaysia Pte Ltd, along with Temasek Holdings and Iskandar Waterfront Holdings Bhd, would buy and develop a 28.33ha man-made island at Danga Bay into a mixed integrated development, comprising high-rise residences, landed homes and retail centers.

"The total development cost for the project is reportedly RM4-5 billion. We note that the group has not made an announcement via SGX, and the extent of CapitaLand’s involvement in the project is still unclear," OCBC said.

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.
