Keppel Land milked S$135.5m from China Vanke JV

More projects may be under way soon.

According to CIMB, KepLand has formed a strategic alliance with China Vanke and its first JV saw the latter take up a 30% stake in KepLand’s Tanah Merah residential project in Singapore for S$135.5m. 

CIMB noted that in return, it expects KepLand to team up with the China property developer to take on more development projects in China. This should help the group to be more competitive in land acquisitions, although CIMB believes this is unlikely to drive share prices given the current policy climate.

Meanwhile, KepLand has acquired a retail mall in Shanghai, another small step in building its investment property base in China. We believe the group still lacks scale at the moment.

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.
