OUEHT to acquire Crowne Plaza Changi and Crown Plaza Changi Extension for a total of $495m

Upon completion of both projects.

OUE Hospitality Trust announced that it has entered into conditional agreements to acquire Crowne Plaza Changi Airportfor S$290m and the Crowne Plaza Changi Airport Extension for S$205m upon its completion from a subsidiary of its sponsor, OUE Limited.

CPCA has 320 guestrooms, while CPEX will add another 243 rooms after its completion. The combined assets are expected to provide an acquisition NPI yield of 4.6%. This would be funded by debt and/or equity. 

According to OUEHT, assuming the properties are acquired wholly by debt, this would increase its pro forma DPS by 0.16 S cents from CPCA and 0.24 S cents from CPCA and CPEX combined. 

OCBC says that its gross gearing would increase to 46.7% after the two acquisitions, if financed fully by debt. Assuming S$125m of equity is raised at an illustrative price of S$0.88 per stapled security, OUEHT estimates that these transactions would raise its pro forma DPS slightly by 0.04 S cents from CPCA and 0.05 S cents from the combined two assets.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
