CityDev unveils $1.5b Sentosa Cove investment platform

How will investors benefit?

City Developments Limited has partnered with Blackstone’s Tactical Opportunities Fund and CIMB Bank to create an investment platform that will raise $1.5b by investing in the cashflows of CDL’s properties in Sentosa Cove, called the Quayside Collection.

The Quayside Collection, an upscale integrated development on the resort island of Sentosa, comprises three adjacent properties developed by CDL.

CDL said that the Profit Participating Security (PPS), as the investment instrument is called, will see the investors receive a fixed payout based on 5% interest per annum for a period of five years, in addition to a participation in the cashflows over the period that they hold the PPS.

The total aggregated value of PPS is $75m, comprising $281 million subscribed by Astoria Holdings Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CDL; Blackstone’s Tactical Opportunities Fund will invest $367 million; and CIMB Bank will contribute S$102 million.

Concurrently, DBS Bank and OCBC will provide $750 million in value of senior loan facilities.

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.
