UOL keeps picky stance in landbanking in Singapore

As it targets boosting investment properties.

According to DBS, looking ahead, the group would continue to be selective in terms of landbanking in Singapore and look to building up its investment properties and hospitality assets.

It had committed cS$1bn in recurrent income projects such as 1 Upper Pickering, PARKROYAL on Pickering, Pan Pacific Serviced Suites and OneKM and will continue to deliver a pipeline of hotels and svc residences to expand the PARKROYAL and Pan Pacific brands across Asia including Shanghai, China and Bogor, Indonesia.

Here's more from DBS:

The OneKM Mall is currently 50% pre-committed and is on track to open in 2014. In development properties, it expects to TOP 3 projects this year and will launch 631 units from the Bright Hill Drive site in June, followed by St Patrick’s Garden site in July.

Overseas, it will offer more blocks at The Esplanade in Tianjin and launch The Panorama in KL towards end 2013. This would continue to drive earnings visibility going forward.

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.
