Hong Kong Mansion Sold for $20.5M in Latest Distressed Deal

A mansion in Hong Kong’s Repulse Bay was sold for HK$160 million ($20.5 million), adding to a streak of distressed property disposals this year. The sale of House 3 at the Beachfront in the luxury residential neighbourhood was completed Tuesday, according to land registry records.

The unit was used to back a HK$168 million loan taken out by Hong Kong firm Accufast from moneylender Lei Shing Hong Credit, according to court documents. Read more>>

ESR Takeover Draws Out Over Valuation

A potential buyout of Hong Kong-listed ESR is drawing out as shareholders struggle to agree on a price for the company, according to people familiar with the situation.

While discussions are ongoing, more time is also needed to complete due diligence on the logistics and warehouse firm’s global assets, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing a private matter. ESR’s fragmented ownership represents a key hurdle to a take-private deal as they have different value expectations and it would take only a few opponents to block the transaction, the people said.

Ascott Ties Up With China’s Jin Jiang Hotels for Apartment Management JV

The China business segment of Ascott has entered into a joint venture with Jin Jiang Hotels to expand their respective apartment hotel brands in China. Ascott China will hold a 50 percent interest in the JV, with Jin Jiang Hotels (China region) to hold the balance.

Singapore-Listed OUE REIT Reports 3.7% Income Dip

OUE REIT reported a 3.7 percent year-on-year dip in net property income in the third quarter to S$60.3 million ($45.7 million).

Country Garden Malaysia Project Turns Property Dreams into Nightmares 

It was an audacious project undertaken a decade ago by a Chinese developer: a $100 billion city in Malaysia built on sand and shrubby mangroves and sold as a luxury “dream paradise” for China’s middle class.

Many of Forest City’s residents today are transient — the caretakers of the grounds who sweep the empty roads and pick up the garbage, trim the hedges and water the plants. Read more>>

Hong Kong Developers Trim Discounts as Sales Improve

Hong Kong developers are showing greater confidence in the city’s market outlook after a series of support measures. A consortium including Wheelock Properties and New World Development is offering smaller discounts for their new units in Kai Tak after buyers returned in droves.

At Double Coast I, the two developers and their partners China Overseas and New World Development set the price for the first 78 units at HK$17,899 ($2,304) per square foot on average. That is about 3 percent below the average for units at Twin Victoria in Kai Tak when the project was launched last month. Read more>>
