Ho Bee Land
On Oct 17, Ng Noi Hinoy, the spouse of Ho Bee Land : H13 +1.33% executive chairman Chua Thian Poh, acquired 120,000 shares at an average price of S$2.17 per share. This increased Chua&rsquo s deemed interest in Ho Bee Land to 75.70 per cent from 75.68 per cent.
Earlier, on Aug 14, Ho Bee Land announced a net profit of S$49.8 million for the first half of FY2025 ended Jun 30, up from S$8.8 million for H1 FY2024. This improvement came despite a 23 per cent decline in revenue to S$177.7 million, mainly due to fewer settlements from Australian development projects and the reclassification of Elementum as a joint venture.
The stronger net profit was driven by resilient recurring rental income, higher contributions from joint ventures, and lower interest expenses. The group&rsquo s commercial portfolio in Singapore and London maintained an occupancy rate of more than 95 per cent as at Jun 30.

Asset Enhancement of 1 St Martin' s Legrand, London, adding approximately another 300,000 sq feet of commercial space, is a good story to tell investors for a potential reit listing. | ||||

AI Overview
Yes, London' s office and commercial property markets show signs of a rebound, particularly for prime assets, as seen in rising rental values, increased investment, and a " flight to quality" by tenants seeking modern, sustainable spaces. While the overall market remains mixed and cautious, with some secondary and retail sectors still struggling, the shift back to office working and growing demand for specialized assets like data centers are driving a positive trend for high-quality office and commercial properties in the capital.

I am " aligned" with Mr Alignment! UK seems to be on a downward trajectory and only months (or less) away from a IMF bailout. The effect on its bond prices, inflation and FX can be considerable. |

I have actually been in this building before (before the refurb) so am aware of the surrounding area. I&rsquo m not sure where the article gets its vacancy figure from. My understanding of the current grade A vacancy rate in the City of London (the area the property is in) is around 4%. But I would agree the short term supply demand dynamics are favorable. Despite this, London property prices have come down despite the higher rent i.e. market yields have gone up. This reflects the broader economic environment. Of the G7 countries, the UK has the worst combination of low growth and high inflation. I don&rsquo t have anything against the specific assets the company owns. My question is more to do with longer term country asset allocation. Singapore is just a very attractive place to invest in comparison. |

30,000 square meters or 300,000+ square feet is like a small shopping mall worth of space in Singapore.

I dont know about elsewhere in London, but according to the article I posted, the vacancy around 1 St Martin' s neighborhood is only 1.5%, so demand is very very high. Ho Bee will add about 30,000 sq meters of office space by retrofitting the building. I consider this as a major internal renovation, which I believe the cost is relatively manageable.

Not sure I agree with the focus on the UK being a good idea. I think many people who think that are basing their view on a UK that is perhaps 15 years out of date. The company would have been better off not investing there and keeping the money in Singapore. |

Hmm 2.16 in the context where stock markets are difficult to read. It can go a lot higher then. In terms of UK economy there are both elements of opportunities and challenges like any developed economies. In terms of property development there are significant upsides on London property market across Residential, Offices and Commercial. Ho Bee leadership and investments focused on UK is a sound bet. |

Caution caution and caution. The UK economy and the politics face strong headwind. UK has massive deficit and the chancellor is trying her best to plu the hole through taxing businesses and wealthy individuals. The environment and conditions seems unfavourable Approval might have been given but what are the risks?

The permit will allow them to activate resources to continue from concept design into full project planning, which will also require investment request. When the investment request is approved and the project has a clearer plan from tender to construction to re-opening in phases, this should go on SGX for announcement. | ||||

I found this news after a search Question: Why is this piece of news not worthy of disclosure in the SGX website? |

In a market where prime office space has become as scarce as hen' s teeth, Singaporean property giant Ho Bee Land has struck gold with planning consent for what could become the City' s most coveted workspace transformation. The company secured a resolution to grant planning permission from the City of London Corporation to completely reimagine the landmark 1 St Martin' s Le Grand building, originally constructed in 1895 for the Post Office. The ambitious retrofit project will deliver 29,728m² of premium office space across 13 storeys, strategically positioned just 300 metres from St Paul' s Cathedral, where prime office vacancy has plummeted to a mere 1.5%. This scarcity is driving unprecedented rental growth and creating a perfect storm for developers with the vision to unlock value in heritage assets. Working with Orms architecture practice and Avison Young as planning advisors, the development promises to deliver something the market desperately craves: large floorplates exceeding 2,787m² that can accommodate modern working patterns. What makes this project particularly compelling for investors is the timing coincidence with the City of London' s major public realm transformation of the St Paul' s gyratory, including the creation of 3,000m² Greyfriars Square directly behind the building. This substantial public investment will dramatically enhance the asset' s appeal and rental potential, effectively providing Ho Bee Land with a subsidised amenity upgrade that would be impossible to replicate elsewhere. The building' s repositioning as a sustainability flagship, targeting BREEAM ' Outstanding' and net-carbon operation alongside WELL ' Platinum' accreditation, positions it perfectly for the growing ESG-focused tenant demand. The development will feature a dramatic double-height reception connecting to the adjacent Postman' s Park, landscaped terraces with panoramic London views, and comprehensive ground and basement amenities designed to compete with the capital' s trophy assets. Federico Bianchi, UK CEO of Ho Bee Land, emphasised the project' s significance: " 1 St Martin' s Le Grand is a rare opportunity to reposition a landmark, historic building as the state-of-the-art, sustainable workspace demanded by businesses in the City of London today. Our plans will reconfigure the internal layout to maximise floorplate size and flexibility to accommodate a range of workspaces, as well as provide the high-quality amenities needed to attract and retain talent." For Ho Bee Land, this marks their first commercial development in London since establishing their presence in 1996, building on their trophy portfolio, including the Scalpel and Ropemaker Place. With prime City rents currently at &euro 1,105 per m² according to the latest market data, and the development potentially commanding significant rental premiums due to its heritage character and prime location, this transformation represents a compelling value creation opportunity in one of Europe' s most supply-constrained office markets. |
