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

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.
