CapitaLand's gains surge an amazing 85.1% to S$148.5m

-

Thanks to impressive development projects.

According to a release, CapitaLand Limited achieved 85.1% year-on-year increase in net profit to S$148.5 million for the quarter ended 30 September 2012.

Group revenue grew 12.9% to S$686.9 million, driven by higher revenue recognised from development projects in Singapore, China and Australia as well as strong contribution from the Group’s shopping mall and fee-based income businesses.

Revenue from the Group’s Singapore development projects increased 7.0% to S$220.1 million, mainly from The Interlace and Urban Resort Condominium.

Revenue from China accounted for S$67.9 million, up 67% from the same period last year, with revenue contribution from the sale of Ascott Guangzhou, Metropolis, Riverside Ville and Beau Residences. Sales from development projects were also higher in Australia this quarter.

This year, revenue from the shopping mall business has been on the rise, due mainly to the acquisition of four malls in Japan, while revenue from serviced residences rose slightly with contribution from newly opened properties and higher property management fees.

The Group’s fee income from its fund management, property and project management services also increased as a result of an enlarged asset under management portfolio, improved performance of managed properties as well as new management contracts secured.

For 3Q 2012, the Group’s EBIT grew by 41.3% to S$383.3 million year-on-year, boosted by higher operating profits and portfolio gains. Portfolio gains amounted to S$75.0 million, mainly arising from the divestment of Ascott Guangzhou and Ascott Raffles Place to Ascott Residence Trust.

The Straits Times  |  MARCH 22, 2013 The Pines Club in Stevens Road will be made over into a hotel and commercial development in an ambitious redevelopment plan. A unit of developer Oxley Holdings has agreed to buy the 18,477 sq m estate for $318 million on a 103-year lease. Oxley has obtained provisional permission to develop two blocks of eight-storey hotels, two blocks of two-storey commercial buildings and a four-storey clubhouse with a basement on the site, according to a company statement to the Singapore Exchange. The club's facilities will be integrated into the new complex.

He owns both clubs. Members will be able to use the Stevens Road clubhouse facilities after the redevelopment, estimated to take between two and three years. Talk about the estate's ma

Former Bt Timah Turf Club may become private estate: analyst

Channelnewsasia.com | Posted: 13 February 2013 2007 hrs SINGAPORE: Property analysts said the former Bukit Timah Turf Club area will probably be redeveloped into a private residential estate, consisting of a mix of landed properties and condominiums. The government is setting aside this piece of land for residential use as part of the recently-released Land Use Plan. The Grandstand is an establishment that sits on the former Bukit Timah Turf Club. The new family lifestyle development was set up just last year. But in five years' time, it may no longer be around. The lease expires in 2018 and housing redevelopment is expected to begin then. Analysts believe the lease may not be extended. Nicholas Mak, executive director of research and consultancy at SLP International said: "If any of these operators have plans to upgrade or to renovate their premises, I think they have to take into consideration that they probably have only about five years left to
