OUE HT receives blows from weaker tourist arrivals

Mandarin Orchard’s accelerated renovation didn’t help, either.

OUE Hospitality Trust is fine with last quarter’s 1.5% revenue dip to $28.3 million due to seasonally weaker tourist arrivals and accelerated renovation at Mandarin Orchard Singapore, as it is currently preparing MOS for a seasonally stronger demand in 2H14.

Maybank Kim Eng reports that MOS’s newly renovated guestrooms will command better rates and some 85% of Mandarin Gallery leases by gross rent will expire in the next two years. Maybank expects positive reversions, given a limited supply of retail space along Orchard Road.

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.
