    Default South Beach

    Is this going to be a condo or a service residence?


    Business Times - 14 Aug 2009

    CDL expects to start South Beach in Q3 '10
    Q2 net profit falls on lower development margins, weaker hotel showing
    By KALPANA RASHIWALA CITY Developments Ltd (CDL) executive chairman Kwek Leng Beng says construction of the delayed South Beach project is likely to begin around the third quarter of next year, with CDL and new investor Nan Fung group of Hong Kong probably the ones that will pump in further money.

    Financial statement
    PresentationCDL's two earlier joint-venture partners in South Beach, El-Ad Group and Dubai World, are likely to be passive investors who may then see their share in the project diluted. 'I think they have other priorities,' Mr Kwek said on the sidelines of CDL's Q2 results briefing yesterday.
    The group posted a 15.3 per cent drop in net earnings to $139.98 million and a 32.4 per cent decline in first-half net profit to $223.1 million due to lower profit margins from property development and a weaker showing from its hotels business, which was hit by the global economic slump. However, this was partly offset by higher earnings from rental properties.
    The group is planning to launch up to three new condos in the current half - including possibly some units in the residential portion of its Quayside Isle Collection on Sentosa Cove.
    CDL said that its bottom line for Q2 ended June 30, 2009 was an improvement from Q1 and it credited this chiefly to higher contribution from property development. Its decision to start building The Arte at Thomson in 2008 before its launch enabled the group to book more profit immediately based on the project's advanced stage of construction when it was launched in March this year.
    On South Beach, Mr Kwek said that although the consortium has up to 2016 to complete the project - which will have offices, luxury hotels, retail space and residences - he hopes to finish it before that date. 'In any case, if I miss the period of office oversupply in 2012, it'll be better for me,' he quipped.
    'Instead of coming up with a cookie cutter (idea), we're in talks with some creative people to come up with some wow factor.'
    The consortium bought the 99-year leasehold site for $1.69 billion in 2007 and had said then that total development cost would be about $2.5 billion. Last November, CDL announced a deferment of the project's construction until construction costs eased.
    South Beach will integrate an overhead bridge to Suntec City Convention Centre, Mr Kwek said, pointing to possible synergies between the two sides.
    Residential developments that contributed to CDL's Q2 bottom line included Cliveden at Grange, One Shenton, The Solitaire, Tribeca, The Oceanfront @ Sentosa Cove, Botannia and Livia.
    After selling 1,031 private homes so far this year for about $1.34 billion (including the share of joint venture partners), CDL is planning to partially launch a few projects in the current half - including a 396-unit condo on the former Hong Leong Gardens site at West Coast; a project with about 160 units on the former Albany and Thomson Mansion sites; and possibly the 228-unit condo being built at The Quayside Isle Collection at Sentosa Cove. The group's landbank stood at 7.5 million sq ft proposed gross floor area at end-June. Of this, 66 per cent was in the local residential market.
    Net gearing eased from 48 per cent as at Dec 31, 2008, to 46 per cent at June 30, 2009. CDL's net profit does not include valuation differences arising from investment properties as it has adopted the conservative policy of stating them at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
    Group net asset value per share rose from $5.97 at end-2008 to $6.18 at end-June 2009.
    Second quarter revenue rose 0.8 per cent to $787.1 million while HI revenue dipped 8.4 per cent to $1.41 billion.
    In the stock market yesterday, CDL closed 19 cents higher at $10.02.

    City Developments: No Impact On Singapore Project From Dubai World

    South Beach

    Property developer City Developments Ltd. (CDL) Monday said that it doesn't expect any impact on the planned South Beach project in Singapore from the debt problems of Dubai World Ltd.

    "In June this year, as announced, we had already secured fresh funds via a combination of a S$800 million bank loan for a 2-year term and S$400 million in secured convertible notes ... We are presently refining the design plans and value engineering to ensure that this development is made more efficient, and to ensure that it is an extraordinary and innovative project," City Developments said in a statement.

    City Developments along with Dubai World and U.S.-based El-Ad Group had established a joint venture, called South Beach Consortium Pte Ltd., in 2007 for South Beach, a property development in central Singapore.

    The project will be completed by 2016.

    On Wednesday, the Dubai government announced that it will seek a 6-month payment freeze on debts of one its biggest conglomerates Dubai World, which owns real estate developer Nakheel and is estimated to have liabilities of around US$60 billion.

    The news spooked markets globally amid concerns over exposure by lenders.

    Dubai World currently holds a one-third share in the Singapore joint venture.

    City Developments said that in future, should there be a need to invest additional funds, the shareholders are expected to be called upon to put in their shares.

    "A shareholder may be diluted if it does not fulfill its obligations to fund the joint venture company. The joint venture company may also choose to issue further notes if more funds are required in due course and it is open to any note holder and/or shareholder to subscribe for the notes," the statement said.

    It said that it was too premature to say what its partners intend to do, but said that it is open to increasing its stake in the Singapore property project.

    "As South Beach is an iconic development and one which has excellent potential, should there be an opportunity to raise our stake in the South Beach project, we are certainly open to explore," the statement said.

    City Developments shares took a hit Monday on the Singapore Exchange (SGX) on news of the debt problems at Dubai World. City Developments closed 1.4% lower at S$10.00. By comparison, the Straits Times Index (STI) lost 1.1% to finish at 2732.12 points.

    Ya, it's in my radar and I will be interested if it's below 2000psf.
    I dun think we should be too worried over L99 for good location projects.
    The tender for main contractor is ongoing and it's most likely to be a korean or a Japanese.

    I'm pretty certain that this project will be in excess of 2000psf and might even be closer to 3000psf, given the release prices of the recent developments like Skysuites, Altez etc. But it's a fantastic location, so I'm sure it'll be a sell out!

    Default $4k PSF ?

    The much-anticipated South Beach project is gathering pace with the developer preparing to market the homes, offices and shop space.
    The City Developments (CDL) and IOI Corporation consortium is "at the stage of preparing to market or pre-lease" the development, but has not finalised the launch date and pricing, a CDL spokesman said.
    The mixed-use project - located between Raffles Hotel and Suntec City, and next to the Esplanade MRT station - will feature 190 homes, 651 hotel rooms, 49,000 sq m of office space and 7,900 sqm of retail space. A 2,700 sq m area will also be set aside for a private club.
    Some agents gathering interest for the high-end complex told The Straits Times that flats could be sold at about $4,000 per sq ft (psf) on average.

    They added that some regulatory approvals are still needed before flats can be sold, but the development - which had been hit by delays due to the global financial crisis - is finally in motion.
    The landmark site was acquired for nearly $1.69billion from the Urban Redevelopment Authority in 2007, at a price that worked out to $1,069 psf of potential gross floor area.
    Originally, Dubai World unit Istithmar, United States-based Elad Group and CDL each held a one-third stake in the South Beach Consortium.
    The original plan would have seen the development completed by this year at a total cost, including land, estimated at $2.5billion.
    But during the financial crisis in November 2008, CDL announced a deferment until building costs eased.
    A series of sales and restructuring also marked the exit of two of the original investors - Elad and Istithmar - and led to the entry of Malaysian heavyweight IOI last year.
    The project is now scheduled for completion in 2015.
    CDL declined to give the revised total development cost, but added that "there have been no changes or enhancements made to the original plans for the site with IOI's participation to the shareholder structure".
    DTZ is understood to have been appointed as the sole marketing agent.
    Ms Phylicia Ang, Savills Singapore's executive director for residential sales, said the prime location offers home owners fantastic views - one of its key selling points.
    "There will definitely be demand and interest from buyers for such a location; it's just a matter of price point," she added.

    from the investor's frankly the land cost at which they might have overpaid is irrelevant. those sub-2k psf are very common and they will be challenging southbank for tenants. and with the disparity of prices, surely they will have more upside. having said that, i must state i have no vested interest in either areas.

    Shenton purely a location product, whereas southbeach is a location/lifestyle products which comes with integrated hotel services, plus a panoramic view of the Singapore skyline. How to compare?

    If want to compare might as well compare Southbank or Viz@holland to their 3rm HDB neighbors.

    4k for smaller 2bedroom will be achievable. Cdl might be able to sell with rental guarantee if you lease back to them.

    Actually I'm not too sure if it's just marketing talk. This whole development is mainly commercial. Residential is like less than 200 units. CDL has every reason to sell the residential at a premium.
