3Q results 2013:
Not so good. 3Q Profit of $27m was entirely contributed by JV project (Prive) - without which the co would hv operating loss for 3Q. Only marginal own development income was reported - could be due to timing of recognition but this is not a problem b'cos the income could flow into Q4. Problem is construction segment which most likely incurred loss, no improvement vs 1H.
Q4: I am expecting most of the development income to flow into Q4, so the full yr results would be very good. Remain vested + increasing exposure. DYODD

1H 2013 results out last nite - very much below expectation.
Despite total revenue increasing by 81% mainly from property development, overall profit drop by 3% vs last yr. There is no disclosure on segmental performance, but I guess the construction segment is making losses n eating into property development segment. Nowadays, how to make money on HDB contracts especially on razor thin margin and with recent increase in foreign workers' levy, breaking even is considered lucky.

THE freehold Gallery Hotel in the Robertson Quay area is understood to have been sold for slightly over $230 million, or just over $1 million per room.
Word on the street is that the 223-room hotel is being sold by Robertson Quay Investment, controlled by the Ngo family, to RB Capital.
The 10-storey hotel was completed in 2000.
Knight Frank, which had been marketing the property quietly, is believed to have brokered the transaction.

See who bought San Centre for a cool $113 million
Sold en bloc by Jones Lang LaSalle.
CEL Property Investment Pte Ltd (CEL), a subsidiary of Mainboard-listed Chip Eng Seng Corporation Ltd has successfully purchased San Centre, a 12-storey office building located along Chin Swee Road, said Jones Lang LaSalle in a release.
This marks the first commercial collective sale site sold for the year in Singapore.
The subject office building comprises 107 strata-titled office units and 80 carpark lots, built in the 1970s.
“San Centre has a land area of 28,719 sq ft, and is zoned for Commercial use under the 2008 Master Plan. In response to an Outline Planning Permission application, the planning authorities have advised that they are prepared to support the redevelopment of the site into a 20-storey hotel development or a mixed residential and commercial development with at least 60% of the space set aside for commercial use,” says Mr Karamjit Singh, Head of Investments & Residential, Jones Lang LaSalle.
“As the site of San Centre enjoys the flexibility of various redevelopment options, its tender attracted good interest from investors and developers.”
“In a location flanked by the Central Business District (CBD), the culturally rich Chinatown of Singapore and the vibrant Robertson Quay, a hotel redevelopment would cater to business travellers and tourists. It is also viable to retain its use as an office building, as its close proximity to the Subordinate Courts could appeal to small and medium-sized law firms as potential buyers or tenants,” says Mr Singh.
“Demand remains strong for properties with commercial or hotel redevelopment potentials. Small to medium sized residential en blocs with unique attributes, such as those zoned for landed properties, or sites close to MRT stations, will continue to be well sought after,” added Mr Singh.
Jones Lang LaSalle said that about 90% of owners have consented in writing to CEL‟ s offer of $113 million, which translates to $857 psf over the existing gross floor area. The owners of San Centre will be receiving a gross sale price ranging from about $400,000 to $2.25 million.  - Source: Spore Business Review published 27 March 2013
