OUE eyes swooping in on tier-3 cities in China

Including gateway cities in the US.

According to Phillip Securities, following the decision to call off the acquisition of F&N, the concern of overpaying is now removed in the firm's view. The relevant acquisition costs and fees are well covered by the break fee of $50mn provided by F&N.

The report said that going forward, the Executive Chairman Dr. Stephan Riady expresses his concern of slow growth in Singapore for the next 2 - 3 years, and indicates that the group is open to acquisition opportunities abroad such as tier-3 cities in China as well as gateway cities in the U.S., where the real estate market is on track for recovery.

"If higher capital outlay is required, the potential of listing its hotel assets onto a hospitality Reit will be revisited," Phillip Securities 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.
