Roxy-Pacific Holdings likely to launch Kuala Lumpur development by end-2014

Based on research firm's timeline estimates.

OCBC Investment Research said that the Roxy-Pacific Holdings' newly acquired Kuala Lumpur site near the upcoming Quill City should launch by end-2014 and will probably feature a 90:10 mix of residential and retail components.

Here's more from OCBC:

Acquiring 47% stake in KL site. ROXY announced that it has acquired, for RM470k, a 47% stake in Macly Equity Sdn Bhd (Macly) which owns a 70k sq ft land site in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia at Jalan Dewan Sultan Sulaiman. We understand this land site was acquired for RM89.8m by Macly and that ROXY is finalizing a JV agreement whereby it would likely fund the remaining commitment via a shareholder loan with the site valued at cost. This site has a total GFA of 686k sq ft and is strategically located beside the upcoming Quill City (a 7-acre mixed development on Jalan Sultan Ismail), the Sheraton Imperial Hotel and monorail Stations to Bukit Bintang.

Likely to be launched by end 2014. The site has already received a development order and would likely be developed into a project with a 90:10 mix of residential and retail components. We see the project launching for sale by end 2014 with a targeted TOP of 2019. In addition, we forecast a breakeven ASP in the range of RM800-RM850 psf, and selling ASPs of RM1,100 psf and RM2,200 psf for the residential and retail components,
respectively. This being so, this acquisition would likely accrete 2.4 S-cents to ROXY’s RNAV.

First acqusition in Malaysia. This is ROXY’s first acquisition in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and we like the group’s approach of selecting a site with strong potential while working with a local partner. The site is located near the upcoming 6-storey Quill City Mall which is slated to open in time for Hari Raya next year and is reportedly already 50% pre-leased.

Maintain BUY with higher S$0.76 fair value. Maintain BUY with a higher fair value of S$0.76 (30% RNAV disc.) from this acquisition, versus S$0.74 previously. We see the stock as a compelling risk-reward proposition currently as the group now sits on a whopping S$1,118m of unrecognized development revenue from sold units and enjoys significant diversification from its hotel segment (Grand Roxy Mercure Hotel worth S$0.47 per share).

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.

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.
