CCT’s CapitaGreen to achieve full occupancy in 2015

What could be its next re-development target?

CapitaCommercial Trust (CCT) has received good feedback for recently launched CapitaGreen.

According to a report by OSK-DMG, CCT registered food financials in 4Q14, with DPU rising to 2.15/8.46 cents, without contributions from CapitaGreen.

CCT expects CapitaGreen to achieve 100% occupancy in 2015 and contribute to distributable income in 2016.

As of 31 Dec 2014, CapitaGreen has secured leases for 486,800 sqf or 69.3% of its net lettable area (NLA), above management’s expectation of 50%. Financial institutions took up 55% of NLA, while Technology, Media and Telecoms (TMT) companies as well as Energy, Commodities and Maritime corporations accounted for 12% and 22% respectively.

Given that South Beach Development has already achieved a pre-committed rate of 80-90%, OSK-DMG expects CapitaGreen to hit at least 85% occupancy rate by 1Q15, with average rentals signed at SGD11-12 psf/month. Analysts also foresee CCT to acquire the remaining 60% stake of CapitaGreen in due course, providing a catalyst to CCT.

Here’s more from OSK-DMG:

With the completion of CapitaGreen, CCT has freed up its 10% development cap. We envision possibilities for CCT to redevelop the old Golden Shoe Car Park, unlocking value for unit-holders in the longer run.

We forecast an uplift of 7% in rentals for Grade A office space in 2015 (vs 15% in 2014), and hence we adjust our growth assumptions. Reiterate BUY with a higher TP of SGD1.95 (from SGD1.80).

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.
