OKP Holdings ventures into property development

The Mainboard-listed firm has taken a 10% stake in property developmment company CS Land Properties.

The deal involves an en bloc purchase of a block of condominiums at No 4 Amber Road, Singapore, said OKP in a release.

OKP added it is securing its stake in CSLP through its newly-formed subsidiary, OKP Land Pte Ltd, for a consideration of S$111,111, representing approximately 10 per cent of the enlarged issued and paid-up share capital of CSLP.

This follows a shareholders’ approval in September 2010 for OKP to diversify into property development. OKP expects the expansion into property to "enable the Group to tap the private sector for further business opportunities and ultimately help create shareholder value."

In connection with the investment, OKP has also entered into a loan agreement with CSLP where it will extend a loan facility of up to S$20 million. As at the date of this press release, S$18.4 million has been disbursed to CSLP.

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.
