Mixed-used development set to rise by 2016.

In a release, KSH Holdings Limited (KSH) announced that it has been awarded a S$98.94 million construction contract from Oxley Viva Pte. Ltd. (Oxley Viva). This is for the construction of NEWest, a mixed-use development located at West Coast Drive in District 5. Construction for NEWest is expected to commence in September 2013, with completion expected within 30 months.

The Group has a 12.25% equity interest in Oxley Viva through its 35%-owned associated company, Unique Consortium Pte. Ltd., which has a 35% stake in Oxley Viva.

Said Mr. Choo Chee Onn, Executive Chairman and Managing Director of KSH, “We are delighted to win the mandate to construct NEWest, a unique and prestigious mixed-use development in western Singapore. It is again a hallmark of KSH’s proven capability in building diverse types of developments within the commercial, industrial, institutional and residential sectors.”

NEWest is a mixed-use development with a 956-year tenure, comprising of 5-storey and 12-storey apartment blocks. The construction contract for NEWest entails the construction of 136 residential units. This includes various unit mixes from 1-bedroom apartments to 3-bedroom penthouses with Triplex units. KSH will also be constructing the residential carparks on the 2nd and 3rd storey, 141 commercial units comprising of supermarket, kiosks and shops on the 1st storey and commercial carparks at basement level.

Added Mr. Choo, “Prior to this win, the Group has also won construction contracts to build a mixed property development project in Beijing, PRC; a Multi-Utility Hub at Mediapolis for JTC Corporation; and Q Bay Residences, the first private condominium to launch in 2013. KSH has the capability to execute more construction projects and we shall continue to tender selectively for projects, paying greater emphasis to opportunities in the public sector.”

Year-to-date, KSH has won construction projects amounting to S$301.1 million in Singapore and RMB157.0 million in Beijing, PRC. KSH’s existing construction order book, which stands at approximately S$478.0 million, is expected to contribute to the Group’s financial results up till FY2016.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up 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. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
