Marina Square Shopping Mall's new retail wing to be completed by 4Q14

It's undergoing a two-phase makeover.

According to Maybank Kim Eng, Marina Square Shopping Mall, which SingLand has a 53.1% stake via Marina Centre Holdings, is currently undergoing AEI involving 50,000 sqft of space for a brand new gourmet dining zone set for completion in June 2013 and is already ~90% pre-committed. 

A new retail wing has been announced under Phase 2, where 200,000 sqft of retail space will be added at a cost of SGD80m, to be completed by 4Q14.

Comprising three levels of shopping space and rooftop dining venues, we see this as a proactive move to ensure Marina Square stays relevant as it faces more intense competition from Suntec City Mall, which is currently undergoing extensive enhancements of its own.

Valuing the new retail space at SGD2,200psf, we estimate an RNAV accretion of 4cts/share from this exercise.

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.
