CMA to divest Beijing asset for $367.5m

CRCT said to exercise its call option.

According to OCBC Investment Research, CMA announced that CRCT has exercised its call option to acquire Grand Canyon Mall in Beijing. To recap, this divestment was set in motion in Jul 13 when a conditional call option was agreed upon between both parties as CMA successfully tendered for the asset.

The mall is expected to be divested at cost price at ~RMB1.82b (S$367.5m), or ~RMB26k (S$5,249) psm based on GFA (excluding the car park). The mall has been valued at RMB1.83b as at 15 Apr 2013 by CBRE. The current occupancy (as of Apr 2013) is 92.7% with an annualized net property income (NPI) yield of about 3.5%, based on the divestment price.

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.
