Oxley's Chevron House sale to be completed by Q1 2020

It is currently undergoing asset enhancement initiative works.

Asset enhancement initiative (AEI) works at Chevron House at 30 Raffles Place have already commenced and are expected to be completed by Q1 2020, in time for its sale by Oxley Holdings, a filing with the Singapore Exchange (SGX) revealed.

Chevron House is a 32-storey commercial development comprising 27 levels of office space and a five-storey retail podium with an existing net lettable floor area of 24,273 sqm.

The group intends to divest the retail and banking units as soon as practicable, taking into consideration market conditions, and in any event, before the final completion of the proposed sale.

Oxley announced in end-April that it has agreed to sell its interest in Chevron House, owned by its subsidiary Oxley Beryl, to Golden Compass (BVI) for an aggregate value of $1.025b. Golden Compass is an investment holding vehicle, indirectly owned by AEW Value Investors Asia III (Jersey) and AEW Value Investors Asia III Parallel (Luxembourg), which are funds managed by Jersey-incorporated firm AEW Value Investors Asia III GP and Luxembourg-incorporated firm AEW Value Investors Asia III GP Partners, respectively.

Oxley also responded to SGX inquiries that the majority of the costs for the AEI will be funded by bank loans to Oxley Beryl, which Golden Compass will discharge upon final completion, whilst the remainder are to be funded by the proceeds from the first completion.

It explained that the 82.35% portion for the first part of the sale is $210m as a percentage of the total cost of Oxley's investment in Oxley Beryl up to that point, estimated at $255m.

Oxley purchased Chevron House in November 2017 for a consideration price of $660m.

Additionally, Oxley clarified in its statement that the agreed amount was arrived at by arms’ length negotiations between the purchaser and the company, and on a willing buyer, willing seller basis, taking into consideration the expected market value of the retail and banking units after the AEI works are completed.

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.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

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.
