OUE mulls over commercial REIT listing in the future

How do analysts view this?

According to OCBC, on 25 Sep, the group announced it was exploring the listing of a commercial REIT on the mainboard of the SGX. 

The initial portfolio is expected to include OUE Bayfront and other commercial properties owned by Lippo China Resources Limited (a company listed on HKSE).

"While the timing and size of the listing is yet to be confirmed, we believe this capital recycling may be an attractive catalyst for value realization and a possible special dividend ahead," OCBC said.

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.
