City Developments bags $500m green loan

The loan will finance the firm’s development projects in Singapore and overseas.

City Developments (CDL) has secured its first green loans amounting to $500m, an announcement revealed.

A green loan of $400m with a three-year term is provided by DBS Bank, which is the advisor for the loan. Another green loan of $10m with a two-year term is provided by The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC), which is the structuring advisor for the loan.

The multi-currency green loan will allow CDL to finance new green developments in Singapore and overseas.

Sherman Kwek, CDL’s CEO, said in a statement. “With the global shift to a low carbon economy, CDL will continue to explore sustainable financing to develop more green buildings that not only bring economic savings but also benefit occupants and the environment.”

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.
