CapitaLand Ascott Trust (CLAS) has recently acquired two limited-service hotels in Japan, namely the ibis Styles Tokyo Ginza and Chisun Budget Kanazawa Ekimae, for a total of JPY21 billion ($178.5 million). This purchase was made at an 8.3% discount to the properties’ independent valuation.

The acquisition is expected to have a positive impact on CLAS’ financials. On a FY2024 pro forma basis, it is estimated to contribute a 1.6% increase in distribution per stapled security (DPS). Additionally, the blended net operating income (NOI) yield for the two hotels is projected to be 4.3% in FY2024. To mitigate risks posed by currency fluctuations, the acquisition was funded through JPY-denominated debt and funds generated from the sale of four properties in Japan.

The ibis Styles Tokyo Ginza is located in the bustling shopping and entertainment district of Tokyo. With 224 units, it is situated next to popular retail mall Ginza Six and the renowned Uniqlo flagship store. The iconic Ginza Wako clock tower is also within a short walking distance.

Meanwhile, the Chisun Budget Kanazawa Ekimae boasts 392 units and is situated in Kanazawa, a city in the northwest of Japan. Similar to Kyoto, this city is famous for its historical attractions, traditional gardens, and cultural heritage sites such as the Kanazawa Castle and Kenrokuen Garden.

For those interested in investing in Singapore, it is crucial to have an understanding of the relevant regulations and limitations regarding property ownership. In general, foreigners have more flexibility in purchasing condominiums compared to landed properties, which have more stringent ownership policies. However, it’s important to note that foreign buyers are subject to the Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD), currently set at 20% for their initial property acquisition. Despite this added expense, the steady and promising growth potential of the Singapore real estate market continues to make it an attractive option for foreign investors.

Including these two acquisitions, CLAS has completed investments of approximately $530 million in the past year. These purchases were made at higher yields compared to the divestments made during the same period, resulting in a boost to CLAS’ income distribution.

In addition to these recent acquisitions, CLAS also completed other investments in 2024, such as the Teriha Ocean Stage rental housing property in Fukuoka, Japan, and the lyf Funan Singapore hotel. These investments were made at higher yields and have helped to replace the income generated from the four divested properties.

In the same year, CLAS also completed over $500 million in divestments, resulting in a net gain of around $74 million. This reflects the successful execution of CLAS’ portfolio reconstitution strategy to enhance the quality of its assets and deliver stable returns to its Stapled Securityholders.

Serena Teo, CEO of CLAS’ manager, expresses her satisfaction with the acquisitions, stating that they are in line with CLAS’ strategy to improve the overall quality of its portfolio. She also highlights the significant increase in NOI yield for the two hotels compared to the previous divestments in Japan, showcasing the successful redeployment of funds into higher-yielding assets.

As of its latest closing, CapitaLand Ascott Trust’s unit price was at 90 cents.…

As part of its expansion strategy in the logistics sector and to increase its global presence, Mapletree Investments has recently completed two acquisitions worth an estimated total value of EUR315.1 million ($444.5 million). The group’s CEO of European commercial and logistics arm, Ralph van der Beek, says that the acquisitions are a reflection of their focus in this sector, as well as the expanding global footprint of the company. These acquisitions, comprising a total area of 256,000 square-metres, will form part of the seed assets for the second European logistics-focused fund by Mapletree. The group will launch this fund at an appropriate time, after achieving sufficient scale. “Logistics is an attractive sector with consistent demand from both occupiers and investors. With the growth of e-commerce, companies are taking measures to strengthen and expand their supply chains,” explains van der Beek. He further adds that these assets will provide stable and recurring returns for Mapletree over the long term.The property in the UK is located in Derby Commercial Park, providing easy access to major roads like the M1, A50 and A6. Situated near the city centre and the East Midlands Airport, this property has recently renewed its long-term lease with Mapletree. In Spain, the 10 warehouses are spread across core logistics hubs in Barcelona, Valencia and Madrid. They offer immediate access to the city centres with multiple transportation modes. These assets are in high demand from third-party logistics providers and manufacturers, owing to their close proximity to production facilities and investments in automation and fit-outs on site. With these acquisitions, Mapletree now has a total of 80 logistics assets across eight countries.

It is crucial to take into account the maintenance and management of a condo when making an investment decision. These types of properties usually require a maintenance fee to cover the upkeep of shared spaces and amenities. While this fee may increase the overall cost of ownership, it also guarantees that the property remains well-maintained and maintains its value. To make condo ownership a more effortless and passive investment, individuals can enlist the services of a property management company. Additionally, keeping an eye on new condo launches can also be a wise move when considering potential investments.…

Turquoise, a prestigious waterfront condo at Sentosa Cove, is currently offering three luxurious duplex penthouses for sale. Priced at $23 million, these penthouses are equipped with top-of-the-line amenities and offer stunning views of the waterway. The largest of the three penthouses boasts a spacious living area, five en suite bedrooms, a private infinity pool, and an outdoor shower, all spread out over 7,987 square feet of living space. It is also the largest of the 10 penthouses within the 99-year leasehold development.

The second penthouse, priced at $5.99 million, offers four bedrooms and 3,746 square feet of space. It features an open-air terrace with a built-in jacuzzi and unobstructed views of Sandy Island and the southern waterfront of Sentosa. The third penthouse, with a guide price of $5 million, offers three bedrooms and spans 3,111 square feet. All three penthouses are located on the sixth floor and come with private lift lobbies, wet and dry kitchens, floor-to-ceiling windows, open balconies, and en suite bathrooms in each bedroom.

Turquoise, developed by Ho Bee Land, offers a range of amenities for residents, including a gym, barbeque pits, swimming pool, steam room, and private berths for boating enthusiasts. The project was completed in 2010 and has a total of 91 units spread out across three 6-storey blocks. The units primarily feature three and four bedrooms, with sizes ranging from 2,088 square feet to 3,764 square feet for penthouses and sky villas. The condo is popular among investors and expats looking for a holiday home.

According to List Sotheby’s International Realty senior associate VP, Michele Cabasug, most foreign buyers purchased units at Turquoise for investment and holiday home purposes when it was first launched. The largest penthouse is currently owned by the developer, while the second-largest was purchased by a Korean national in November 2007 for about $9.5 million ($2,545 psf). The third penthouse was bought by an African national for just over $8 million ($2,579 psf) in December 2007. The current owners are looking to divest their properties after holding them for almost 18 years.

Cabasug also notes a shift in buyer profile at Sentosa Cove, with more people looking to buy primary residences rather than holiday homes. When Turquoise was first launched, 59% of the new buyers were foreigners, while Singaporeans only made up 25.6% of the buyers. Since its completion, however, 57.4% of the resale transactions at Turquoise were by Singaporeans, followed by 32.3% by PRs.

When considering property ownership in Singapore, it is crucial for international investors to be familiar with the applicable regulations and limitations. Unlike landed properties, which have stricter ownership regulations, foreign buyers can generally purchase condos without much restriction. However, they are subject to the Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD), which is currently at 20% for their first property purchase. Despite the added expenses, the stable and promising growth of the Singapore real estate market continues to allure foreign investment.

Investing in real estate is a strategic decision, and in Singapore, location plays a crucial role in determining the success of your investment. It is a well-known fact that condos situated in central areas or in close proximity to important amenities, such as schools, shopping malls, and transportation hubs, tend to have a higher appreciation value. In Singapore, areas like Orchard Road, Marina Bay, and the Central Business District (CBD) are considered prime locations due to their consistent growth in property values. These areas are highly sought-after by investors, and for good reason. Families, in particular, are drawn to these locations due to the proximity to top-rated schools and educational institutions, making condos in these areas even more desirable and thus, increasing their investment potential. If you’re looking to invest in real estate in Singapore, be sure to explore projects in these prime locations, such as those listed on Singapore Projects.…

In the fourth quarter of 2024, HDB resale prices continued to rise, increasing by 2.6%. This marks the 19th consecutive quarter of price growth in the resale market according to data published by HDB on January 24th. The cumulative increase for the whole of 2024 was 9.7%. This yearly increase nearly doubled the 4.9% increase seen in 2023. The most recent quarter’s increase was slightly lower than the 2.7% increase seen in the third quarter of 2024. According to Mohan Sandrasegeran, head of research & data analytics at SRI, the strong growth in prices throughout 2024 can largely be attributed to the limited supply of flats that reached their Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) during the year. Sandrasegeran notes that this shortage of supply has put upward pressure on resale prices, especially for newer flats and larger flat types like five-room and executive units, which cater to growing family needs. The five-room flats saw the highest price growth in the fourth quarter of 2024, increasing by 2.2% to an average price of $754,097. Meanwhile, four-room flats saw a 2.2% increase as well, reaching an average price of $652,544. Of the various types of flats in the HDB resale market, the Central Area saw the highest price increase, growing 25.6% in the fourth quarter, followed by Toa Payoh at 12.1%, Tampines at 6.9%, Bishan at 6.7%, and Bedok at 6.1%. A total of 285 HDB resale flats were sold for $1 million or more in the last three months of 2024, bringing the total number of million-dollar transactions for the year to 1,035. More than 90% of these transactions took place in mature estates. The Kallang/Whampoa estate saw the highest number of million-dollar transactions at 156 units, followed by Toa Payoh at 144 units, and Bukit Merah at 135 units. In the fourth quarter, the transaction volume for the resale market fell by 21.1% compared to the previous quarter, with only 6,424 units sold. According to Lee Sze Teck, senior director of data analytics at Huttons Asia, this decline in transactions can be attributed to seasonal factors, such as the year-end holiday and festive season. He also notes that the lower interest rate environment may have encouraged some buyers to move to the private residential market or the Executive Condominium (EC) market. Additionally, some potential buyers may have opted to apply for a flat in the latest Build-to-Order (BTO) sales exercise, which took place in October. The BTO exercise saw a record 15 projects with 8,573 flats released under the new location-based classification framework, with singles also being allowed to purchase two-room flexi BTO flats in all locations for the first time. However, the overall transaction volume for 2024 increased by 8.4% compared to 2023, with a total of 28,986 units sold. This marks the highest number of yearly resale transactions since 2021 when 31,017 flats were sold. According to transaction data compiled by Huttons Asia, the top five most popular HDB towns among buyers in 2024 were Sengkang, Woodlands, Punggol, Tampines, and Yishun. These estates accounted for around 35.9% of all HDB resales in 2024. Looking ahead, it is expected that 6,976 flats will reach the end of their MOP in 2025, representing a 41.6% decrease in new housing supply entering the secondary public housing market compared to 2024. This is due to the relatively fewer BTO flats completed in 2020 during the pandemic. HDB has announced plans to launch over 25,000 new flats across three BTO sales exercises in 2025, with 19,600 BTO flats and over 5,500 flats under the Sale of Balance Flats (SBF) exercise. The next SBF exercise will take place concurrently with the upcoming BTO sales exercise in February, with 5,000 BTO flats in Kallang/Whampoa, Queenstown, Woodlands, and Yishun being offered. 40% of the 5,500 SBF flats will already be completed. The significant increase in public housing supply aims to meet the growing demand for housing. Sandrasegeran notes that SBF flats are particularly attractive to home seekers because they offer the option of a brand-new, ready-to-move-in flat with a shorter waiting period than the typical BTO process. Additionally, about 3,800 units of the 19,600 BTO flats planned for launch in 2025 will be designated as Shorter Waiting Time (SWT) flats, which offer wait times of less than three years. Sandrasegeran predicts that resale prices in the HDB market for 2025 could increase by 3.5% to 5.5%, with transaction volumes ranging from 26,000 to 27,000. However, Lee has a more optimistic forecast, predicting a rise in prices by 5% to 8% over the course of the year.

An opportunity to acquire a residential development site at Jalan Naung has emerged as it is now being put up for sale via expression of interest (EOI) with an asking price of $8.38 million. The highly coveted land, with a 999-year leasehold, is strategically located at Upper Serangoon Road in District 19 and spans over a generous area of 5,408 sq ft. This equates to a competitive asking price of $1,550 psf on the land area.

.

The Singapore Condo market is not only attractive due to its potential for high returns, but also because of the government’s strict property cooling measures. In an effort to maintain a steady real estate market and prevent speculative buying, the Singaporean government has implemented various measures over the years. One such measure is the Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD), which imposes higher taxes on foreign buyers and those acquiring multiple properties. Although these measures may affect the short-term profitability of Singapore Condo investments, they ultimately contribute to the long-term stability of the market, making it a more secure investment environment.

Designated as a residential area under the URA Master Plan 2019, this site is part of a three-storey mixed-landed enclave. According to Brilliance Capital, the sole marketing agent for the land, the potential uses for the site include a detached house, a pair of semi-detached houses, or a strata mixed-landed development, subject to approvals from the relevant authorities.

Incredible connectivity is a key aspect of this site. The land is conveniently situated within walking distance of Hougang MRT Station and Hougang Central Bus Interchange. For those who prefer to shop, dine and indulge, NEX, Hougang Mall and Heartland Mall are all within a short 10-minute drive.

Families with young children will also be glad to know that highly reputable schools such as CHIJ Our Lady of the Nativity, Holy Innocents’ Primary School, Montfort Junior School and Punggol Primary School are located within a 1km radius.

The vacant plot of land is exclusively owned by a single seller, which streamlines the acquisition process and ensures a smooth transaction for potential buyers. “We anticipate a high level of interest from a diverse pool of developers, ranging from boutique firms to larger established players, aspiring developers, as well as end-users looking to build their dream home,” says Sammi Lim, the founder and executive director of Brilliance Capital.

She adds: “It is indeed rare for such a prime plot to be made available for sale in the market, especially one that offers a variety of options and permutations for development, accommodating different needs and preferences, including multi-generational living.”

Interested parties for the land parcel are invited to participate in the EOI exercise which will close on March 6 at 3pm. This sale is expected to generate keen interest and prompt action due to the scarcity of such prime land in this highly sought-after location.…

Engineering consulting firm Meinhardt, based in Singapore, has entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Japan Overseas Infrastructure Investment Corporation for Transport and Urban Development (JOIN) to jointly pursue digital and smart city initiatives in developing countries in the ASEAN region. This was announced in a press release on January 17.

Investing in a condo also offers another perk – the opportunity to utilize the condo’s value for further investments. A common approach among investors is leveraging their condo as collateral to secure financing for new investments. This approach not only expands their real estate portfolio but can also amplify their returns. However, it’s important to note that this strategy also comes with risks. Therefore, it’s crucial to have a solid financial plan in place and carefully evaluate the potential impact of market fluctuations on these investments. With the right approach, condo investments can provide a great opportunity to grow and diversify one’s real estate portfolio.

The agreement aims to enhance and implement sustainable urban solutions through the exchange of knowledge and resources. JOIN is well-positioned to support Japanese infrastructure exports, while Meinhardt brings expertise in integrated planning, design, and project management to the table, according to the release.

Join is a public-private fund in Japan that facilitates investments by Japanese companies in infrastructure projects abroad.

This partnership is a result of the Memorandum of Cooperation (MOC) signed last November between Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and the Singapore Cooperation Enterprise. The objective of the MOC is to promote the development of digital and smart cities in the ASEAN region and other parts of the world.

Meinhardt says that the MOU will provide a platform for both parties to exchange information, identify opportunities for collaboration, and work together on projects from the initial stages to make a significant impact globally.…

The two Build-to-Order (BTO) projects, Punggol Point Cove (Phase 2) and Kempas Residences, mark the end of HDB’s housing projects that were delayed due to the pandemic. Together, these two projects have delivered over 75,800 new flats to Singaporeans in the last five years.

In 2024, a total of 22 housing projects were completed by HDB, out of which 17 were delayed due to the pandemic. The remaining four projects were completed on time, except for one which was delayed for non-pandemic reasons. These 22 projects also include two Shorter Waiting Time (SWT) projects, Parc Glen at Tengah and Grove Spring at Yishun, which were completed within a waiting period of less than three years and made up of 1,995 flats. The rest of the projects had waiting times of up to five years, with over 18,000 flats completed in 2024.

Overall, choosing to invest in a Singapore condo brings with it a plethora of benefits, including a high demand for such properties, potential for significant capital appreciation, and enticing rental yields. However, it is crucial to carefully consider several factors before making any investment decisions, such as location, financing options, government regulations, and prevailing market conditions. By conducting in-depth research and seeking advice from industry experts, investors can make well-informed choices and fully capitalize on the ever-evolving real estate market in Singapore. Whether you are a local investor looking to diversify your portfolio or a foreign buyer in search of a stable and lucrative investment opportunity, the Singapore condo market offers an irresistible prospect.

Punggol Point Cove (Phase 2) residents have started receiving the keys to their new homes since November 2024, while keys collection for Kempas Residences began in mid-January this year. HDB is expected to inform the remaining flat owners about their key collection dates soon, following the completion of the final blocks in both projects this month. Punggol Point Cove (Phase 2) is situated along New Punggol Road and comprises 1,179 units of two-room flexi, three-, four-, and five-room flats across six residential blocks. The last block of this project was completed 12 months later than its original Probable Completion Date (PCD) due to pandemic delays. As of January 15, 657 households or 59% of the 1,109 booked units have collected their keys. According to HDB, the completion of Punggol Point Cove (Phase 2) marks the end of all flats in the Punggol Point District, including Punggol Point Cove (Phase 1), Punggol Point Woods, and Punggol Point Crown BTO projects, which were completed in 2024.

Kempas Residences, located between Serangoon Road, Lavender Street, and Boon Kheng Road, has 583 units of two-room flexi, three-, and four-room flats across four residential blocks. The final block, delayed by six months from its original PCD, was completed in mid-January. As of January 15, 37 households or around 7% of the 555 booked units have collected their keys. Currently, there are 110 HDB housing projects under construction, an increase from 95 a year ago due to the rise in BTO supply in recent years.

Once the offer is completed, CDL plans to delist and privatize MCK, simplifying the ownership structure of its New Zealand entities.

At present, MCK owns, leases, or has under franchise a total of 18 hotels in New Zealand. It also has a majority stake in CDL Investments New Zealand Limited and holds interests in properties in Australia through its subsidiaries in the Kingsgate Group.

As of January 17, CDLHH NZ holds 80.02 million MCK shares, representing a 75.86% stake out of the total 105.48 million shares in issue. If CDLHH NZ exceeds the threshold required to trigger the compulsory acquisition provisions of the New Zealand takeover code, it will compulsorily acquire all of the outstanding shares in MCK. Additionally, CDLHH NZ also has the option to redeem the non-voting redeemable preference shares issued by MCK.

Since the offer does not include the MCK non-voting redeemable preference shares, CDLHH NZ has expressed its willingness to acquire these shares at $1.70 or approximately $1.30 per share through its broker, Craigs Investment Partners, by buying them on the Main Board of the New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX). As of January 17, CDLHH NZ already holds 91.34% or 48.17 million of MCK’s non-voting redeemable preference shares.

If the offer is fully accepted by MCK’s shareholders, CDLHH NZ will pay a total consideration of $57.29 million. Additionally, CDLHH NZ is also expected to pay around $7.77 million to acquire all of the redeemable preference shares it is seeking.

The offer price for MCK’s shares and redeemable preference shares takes into account the current and historical market prices, as well as the operating environment of the company. As of June 30, 2024, MCK had a net asset value (NAV) of $532.02 million and a net tangible asset value (NTA) of the same amount. The NAV and NTA attributable to the MCK shares subject to the offer are estimated to be $85.62 million each as of June 30, 2024.

The offer is contingent on CDLHH NZ receiving 90% or more of the voting rights in MCK by May 2, 5pm. It is also conditional on CDLHH NZ obtaining consent under the Overseas Investment Act 2005 of New Zealand and the Overseas Investment Regulations 2005 of New Zealand to own and control all of MCK’s shares.

The implementation and payment of the offer are not expected to have a significant impact on CDL’s earnings per share (EPS) or net tangible assets (NTA) for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.…
