Government Land Sales a hit

Purchases of Government Land Sales sites made up the bulk of investments in the second quarter.

DTZ Research noted:

16 sites were awarded from the GLS programme in Q2 2011, which is twice the number of sites awarded in Q1 2011. Sales of government sites from the GLS programme amounted to S$4.6bn, which is about 55% of total investment activity in Q2 2011. Following the government’s plans to develop Jurong and Paya Lebar as commercial centres, the sale of two sites in these two areas respectively were the two largest investment deals in the quarter. CapitaLand partnered CapitaMalls Asia and CapitaMall Trust to purchase the mixed-use land site at Boon Lay Way for S$969.0m, while a consortium comprising Low Keng Huat, Guthrie and Sun Venture purchased the office land site at Paya Lebar for S$585.6m.

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.
