UOB grants $120m green loan to Farrer Park Company

It will be used to re-finance Connexion, Singapore’s first integrated healthcare and hospitality complex.

United Overseas Bank (UOB) has granted the Farrer Park Company a $120m (US$88.12m) green loan, according to a press release. This is the first green loan for a healthcare facility in Singapore, UOB said.

The proceeds will be used to re-finance Connexion, the country’s first integrated healthcare and hospitality complex which houses the Farrer Park Medical Centre, Farrer Park Hospital, and One Farrer Hotel.

Connexion’s design already uses low-emissivity glass to reflect heat and to keep cool air within its premises for more efficient energy consumption. Connexion’s management will also actively monitors energy and water consumption and pursues opportunities to lower its carbon footprint.

Connexion has been certified as a Green Mark Platinum building by the Singapore Building and Construction Authority (BCA) since 2011, the highest distinction in the green building rating system. To be recognised and re-certified as a Green Mark Platinum building, Connexion needs to meet a list of performance metrics, including achieving at least 30% in energy savings as compared with developments of a similar size, the press release said.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
