Keppel Land raises stake in Vietnam property

It now own 98% of The Estella.

Keppel Land Limited has entered into a conditional share purchase agreement with its Vietnamese partner, Tien Phuoc Co., Ltd for the acquisition of an additional 43% effective stake in The Estella phases 2 and 3 held by Tien Phuoc in the Estella Joint Venture Company Limited.

Keppel Land currently holds a 55% stake in Estella Joint Venture. Upon completion of the transaction scheduled in end-2014, Keppel Land will hold a total of 98% interest in phases 2 and 3 of the development.

According to Mr Linson Lim, Keppel Land’s President for Vietnam, "Keppel Land has been growing with Vietnam since the 1990s and is one of the pioneer real estate developers in the country. The acquisition of the phases 2 and 3 in The Estella reflects Keppel Land's long-term commitment to contribute to sustainable urbanisation of Vietnam with our quality portfolio of properties."

Here’s more from Keppel Land:

The Estella is a residential development comprising more than 1,500 apartments with a retail component located in the popular An Phu Ward, District 2, Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), Vietnam. Phase 1 of The Estella has been completed.

It comprises 719 units which have been fully sold and handed over to homebuyers, except for the final batch of nine penthouse units which was recently released for sale.

The Estella is a 15-minute drive to HCMC's central business district via the East-West Highway and Thu Thiem Tunnel.

Families with school-going children will appreciate the site's close proximity to reputable international schools such as the British International School, International School of HCMC-American Academy, European International School and Australian International School.

The Estella is also located close to the future metro station which will open in 2018 and which will connect residents seamlessly from the central business district to District 9 of the city.

The above transaction is not expected to have any significant impact on the net tangible asset per share or earnings per share of Keppel Land Limited for the current financial year.

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.

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.
