Find out what makes OUE Hospitality Trust the 'pure Orchard Road play'

That's in the REITs/Business Trust arena.

According to OCBC, OUE Hospitality Trust (OUEHT) is a stapled group consisting of OUE Hospitality Real Estate Investment Trust (OUE H-REIT), a REIT under which the initial portfolio is held, and OUE Hospitality Business Trust (OUE H-BT), a dormant business trust.

The initial portfolio of OUE H-REIT comprises Orchard Road area’s largest hotel, the 1,051-room Mandarin Orchard Singapore (MOS) and the 196,336 sq ft GFA Mandarin Gallery (MG).

Here's more from OCBC:

MOS is a prominent, upscale hotel located along Orchard Road while MG is a notable landmark with 152 metres of prime Orchard Road frontage.

These assets make OUEHT the only pure Orchard Road play in the REITs/Business Trust space. This initial portfolio has an aggregate value range of S$1,705m-S$1,756m, based on independent valuation estimates. Approximately 69% of the valuation is from MOS.

The current oversupply situation in the Singapore hospitality sector is a known concern. Given this, we are pleased to note that MOS clocked 3.3% RevPAR growth for pro forma 1Q13. It is also worthwhile noting that 46.7% of MG’s leases by NLA have attractive step-up rental increases of 5.5% p.a., with only 20.7% of all leases by NLA expiring in FY13 and FY14

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.
