2 Havelock Road up for sale for $302mn

AEW, the seller, has carried out an extensive refurbishment by increasing its NLA by about 20 percent.

According to DBS, 2 Havelock Road along North Bridge Road has been put up for sale for $302m or $1,700psf, based on the existing NLA of about 177,833sf (80% office, 20% retail). The seller, US property fund manager AEW paid $205m in 2007 and has carried out an extensive refurbishment by increasing its NLA by about 20%. The 8-storey building has a remaining land lease of about 71 years.

The building is 92% committed and its major tenant is Estee Lauder, which occupies 35% of the office space. Recent office lease in the building was at $7 psf a month. However, DBS thinks that the average building gross rent should be closer to S$5 psf a month, which would translate to a gross yield of about 3.5% for the building.

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.
