FRAGRANCE GROUP SECURES APPROVAL FOR THE SEEMINGLY DEFUNCT 555 COLLINS STREET
Singaporean outfit Fragrance Group has managed to gain approval for a substantial residential tower at 555 Collins Street.
Long after notions of a 400 metre commercial tower and in the wake of Fragrance Group' s early ambitions for a 300 metre mixed use monolith onsite, a residential tower holding in excess off 600 apartments has been given the green light by Planning Minister Richard Wynne. This process of approval has taken place in conjunction with the site being offered for sale.
After failing to win approval for their initial scheme, Fragrance Group appointed Knight Frank in the early stages of 2016 as handling agent for what still remains a vacant office tower with prime Collins Street frontage.
Permitted this month, Fragrance Group  released the following statement to the Singapore Stock Exchange(link is external), dated September 21st:
The Board of Directors of Fragrance Group Limited is pleased to announce that the Company&rsquo s Australian subsidiary, Fragrance VIC-MEL (Collins) Pty Ltd has obtained a planning permit for the property located at 555 Collins Street, Melbourne, Victoria. The planning permit allows for the Property to be developed into a mixed-use multi-storey building for dwellings and retail premises.
The Property, which is fully owned by Fragrance Collins, has a freehold tenure with a total land area of approximately 2,300 square metres. The Property is currently zoned &ldquo Capital City Zone 1&rdquo . Strategically located at the intersection of Kings Street and Collins Street, 555 Collins Street is a unique corner site in the bustling Melbourne CBD. The area is a central hub for business and well connected by public transport.
The development which was approved based on a floor area ratio of 1:24, will comprise of retail and restaurant outlets on the ground floor, 625 residential units consisting of 1, 2, 3 bedroom apartments and penthouses with car parks located in the 4 basements. Other than a whole floor dedicated to well-appointed residential amenities like lounges, gymnasium, swimming pool etc., residents will also be able to get to enjoy a variety of food and beverage and retail provisions on the ground floor amidst large recessed plazas and walkway connecting the development to the adjoining buildings. Periakaruppan Aravindan, Executive Director, Fragrance Group
In comparison the  initial Bates Smart-designed tower  for the site sought approval for 1,020 apartm
perhaps his children are schooling in australia
Think Ah Koh now diverting his attn to Australia.  Let' s see how it goes.  My sense though  is that he will do OK there.  In any case, lumpy results are not unexpected, especially given that the property mkt is, in my view, in a very controlled state at this pt in time, n the different  timing of revenue recognition for various projects.   DYODD as always.  I' m not vested n FG.
 
BRIEF: For the nine months ended 30 September 2016, Fragrance Group Limited revenues decreased 65% to SP$86.4M.
Net income decreased 80% to SP$12.1M.
Revenues reflect Property Development segment decrease of 68% to SP$72.7M,
Property Investment segment decrease of 3% to SP$13.6M.
Net income also reflects Fair value gain on investment properties decrease of 72% to SP$6.1M (income),
Finance Costs increase of 65% to SP$13.9M (expense).
maybe another giant wireless.... if you know what i mean.... DYODD probably....

Have you studied the 3q results which was released on 9 November 2016 recently.
The group has sold almost all its residential units in Singapore. They have only one significant ongoing development project currently in Singapore City Gate (Group has 50%interest) which is 85% sold.

I, for one, am not particularly bothered always abt huge debts.  One has to do his/her own homework abt the likelihood or otherwise of default.  I' d made some points in the Aspail n Aspail bonds thread.  Anyway, Aspail is kaki nang.
