CLI to receive immediate fee income from Ascott’s acquisition of Oakwood

Oakwood has 81 properties and 15,000 units under management.

Capitaland Investments (CLI) can expect an immediate financial benefit from the acquisition of Oakwood World by its lodging business, The Ascott Limited (Ascott), according to CGS CIMB.

In a report, the analyst said Oakwood has 8,500 operational units which can stream income to CLI. Overall, the apartment operator has 15,000 units under management and 81 properties.

Apart from the potential to drive CLI’s revenue, the acquisition will also push Ascott nearer to its 160,000 units goal by 2023F. Currently, Ascott’s global portfolio is at more than 150,000 units.

In the longer run, the deal can also “expand Ascott’s network of asset owners and strategic alliances to drive growth as more than 90% of Oakwood’s asset owners are new to Ascott,” said CGC CIMB.

“Oakwood’s properties can [also] be onboarded onto Ascott’s loyalty programme, Ascott Star Rewards, to accelerate customer base expansion, drive direct distribution as well as expand the suite of product offerings available for Ascott members,” added the analyst.

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.
