HNA chairman Chen Feng would like to assure you that everything is just fine

China’s troubled HNA Group leads the region’s real estate news again today as the once-trigger happy buyer continues to unload assets around the globe. Chen Feng’s transport and tourism-focused group is now said to be selling off Minnesota’s Radisson Hotel chain at the same time that it abandons a $207 million bid for an Aussie trucking firm.

Keppel Completing Divestment of VN Developer for $30M

KEPPEL Corporation on Monday said that it would sell an investment holding company Orbista Pte Ltd for US$30 million, as part of its full divestment in Vietnamese property developer Quoc Loc Phat Joint Stock Company (QLP) that had been earlier announced in June.

Orbista, which holds a 15 per cent shareholding interest in QLP, has been sold to Fortune Paradise Holdings, Keppel said in a regulatory filing.

Keppel, through its property unit Keppel Land, previously owned a total 45 per cent stake in QLP. It sold the equivalent of a 30 per cent stake in QLP in late June for about S$41.2 million to Pham Quang Hung. The earlier divestment translated to a gain of about S$13 million. Read more>>
