F&N's commercial property revenue jumped 19%

Thanks to stronger rents.

According to CIMB, F&N's development PBIT rose 8% yoy, slower than expected due to timing issues. Its OCP projects (c.70% sold) in Sydney, Australia will becompleting in stages in 3Q13-3Q14.

OCP West was recently completed but only saw 180 settlements booked for 3Q13. CIMB said they expect property earnings to catch up in the next 12 months, with unbooked presales robust at S$3.3bn.

"Commercial property revenue rose 19% yoy, driven by stronger rents and occupancy from its REITs and non-REIT portfolio, and stronger room revenue (+141% yoy) from Fraser Hospitality with contributions from newly opened properties in the UK, Australia and Singapore," CIMB said.

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.
