Mammoth CapitaLand shrugs off hefty extension charges for unsold units

It forked out $3.5m in Q3.

Even if CapitaLand fails to sell any more residential units in Singapore in coming months, the giant property developer will hardly feel the pinch of the city-state’s hefty extension charges.

According to a report by UOB Kay Hian, the maximum possible amount of extension charges that CapitaLand can face is $147.8m, which will happen if the developer fails to move any of its unsold stock.

Although this figure looks hefty, this represents a mere 0.8% of CapitaLand’s book value and only 3.8% of its total cash balances.

In the third quarter, CapitaLand forked out $3.5m for unsold units at The Interlace and Urban Resort.

CapitaLand sold only 45 units valued at $109m from July to September. For the first 9 months of 2015, CapitaLand sold 151 units valued at $412m.

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.
