Amcorp Global halts new projects in SG amidst cost pressure

The profit margins for property development in Singapore remain low.

Amcorp Global Limited will not be undertaking new projects in Singapore due to inflationary cost pressure and higher interest rates since 2022.

“The profit margins for property development in Singapore remain low particularly for smaller projects,” the company said in a bourse filing.

The group said its board has grown cautious and selective in undertaking new property developments and will only choose projects that have reasonable profit margins.

The company will instead pivot to London, United Kingdom, where it is jointly developing the Baker Street project.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
