Ho Bee is a Reit disguised as a property developer From annual report, currently, Ho Bee Investment properties portfolio of SGD 4.952 billion plus London Scalpel (approx SGD 1.23 billion) = SGD 6.2 billion Its development properties consists of SGD 322 million plus SGD 138 million (new Australia land parcels) = SGD 460 million. So Investment properties vs development properties has a ratio of 93 : 7 . The recurring properties generate about 4% rental yield. The share price is currently trading at 0.52 Book Value. Should Ho Bee decides to convert the company into a reit via a spin off (or privatisation of the development business), then you will see the share price shoot up to above 0.9 NAV or even higher. Don' t miss. |

Another Gem to look out for value investing.... Counter to watch is Hong Fok (H30). A potential delisting company and an undervalue counter. Now trading at a heavily discounted pricing and on Uptrend. There is a proposed delisting in the HKEX. Proposed delisting likely on the cards on the SGX |

On Feb 28, Ho Bee Land reported its attributable net profit for FY21 (ended Dec 31) surged 141 per cent, with rental income increasing 4.1 per cent year on year to S$223.7 million, due to positive rental reversions for its London properties.
Development profit also saw an increase during the year, particularly from Turquoise and Seascape in Sentosa Cove.
With the results, Ho Bee Land CEO Nicholas Chua highlighted that the construction of the new biomedical project in one-north, Elementum, is progressing well, and with the biomedical sector registering robust growth, he is confident that demand for the laboratory space in Elementum would be strong when the project is completed in Q3 2023.

Ho Bee Land in talks to buy London' s The Scalpel office tower for $1.5 bil
A report by the Financial Times reveals that Ho Bee Land will be buying London&rsquo s famed The Scalpel office tower for £ 820 million ($1.5 billion).
According to the report dated Feb 22 (US time), The Scalpel&rsquo s owner, US insurance group, WR Berkley, is in talks with the SGX-listed Ho Bee Land.
The deal could be signed off as soon as this week, according to sources. A sale at the price represents a yield of just below 4%.
The 190m-tall, 38-storey The Scalpel has been on the market since October 2020. It currently houses tenants including the National Australia Bank and Lombard International.
The building, which is one of the tallest in the City of London, is also a part of its iconic skyline. It is located on 52 Lime Street, at the corner of Lime Street and Leadenhall Street.
Ho Bee Land called for a trading halt in the morning of Feb 23. Before that, shares in the group last traded at $2.80.

This type of spin off probably done like Capitaland style, where original shareholders get a slice of the new spin off, while the original Ho Bee gets privatised as a private property developer. Just my guess...

Based on the report in FT, the cap rate for the transaction appears to be slightly under 4%, which seems quite tight for prime office assets. The risk profile for HBL is now quite skewed to the UK and agree that the potential for a UK REIT spin-off is highly likely, however it may breach the NAV/profitability contribution test (i.e. value/profit from UK assets has > 50% contribution of Group) for the spin-off to be viable.

Heard they bought London Scrapel building for 820 million pounds. So Ho Bee will now have a very large office and commercial property portfolio in London (plus the original Ropemaker Place office building bought in 2018 which it paid 650 million pounds). Plus the Singapore Metropolis, there is a potential for a reit or commercial business spin off.
