Why CapitaLand is so bent to get its hands on Iskandar

Strong housing demand from 3 sources.

According to CIMB, management sees strong potential in Iskandar and believes the company has the relevant expertise to operate in Malaysia given its Singaporean roots.

CapLand expects housing demand in Iskandar to progressively come from 1) Singaporeans with businesses in Johor, 2) Malaysians residing in Singapore, and 3) locals in the broader state of Johor.

Here's more from CIMB:

We see this latest venture at Danga Bay as a first step to gaining a larger exposure in Iskandar. For now, management believes that it is still too early to give an indication of how much capital it will be deploying.

The project accounts for only 1% of its RNAV at the moment, a level we believe is scalable given its large regional focus.

In the near term, China will remain its largest offshore market, accounting for over 50% of its GAV.

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.
