What are CapitaLand's growth pillars?

The property developer is leaning heavily on local and Chinese residential and mall projects to propel its earnings.

In Singapore, the potential profitmaker will be the newly launched Sky Habitat. While in China, The Metropolis and The Pinnacle as well as a retail site in Beijing should keep income flowing down the road.

Here's more from DBS:

Near term earnings are driven by CMA and residential activities. The recent launch of Sky Habitat saw 25% of units (127) sold. This, in addition to the 57 homes sold in 1Q worth S$88m and S$1.35bn of sales locked in last year, will support growth in Singapore. Meanwhile, progressive delivery of 4,913 units in China from 2012-14, should boost income.

Plans to launch more phases at The Metropolis and The Pinnacle and value homes in Wuhan should underpin income visibility in the medium term. Completion of RC Ningbo and Chengdu in 3Q12 should also boost recurrent income. With the acquisition of a retail site in South Beijing by CMA, new investments for the group amounted to S$11.5bn. The impact of accretion from these projects will be felt in the coming years.

We believe the group is coming out of earnings and valuation trough and a gradual completion of its new investments will enhance valuations going forward.

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.
