CapitaLand clinched contract from China Overseas Property

Ascott, CapitaLand's wholly-owned serviced residence business unit will manage the first international brand of serviced residence in Macau SAR.

According to Ascott, the premier serviced residence, slated to open in 2014, is to be named Ascott Paragon Macau.

Mr Lim Ming Yan, Ascott’s Chief Executive Officer, said: “Macau is an important travel destination for mainland Chinese as well as global travellers. With the high rate of growth in China, we expect more expatriates and business travellers to Macau as more international companies such as ING, HSBC and Deloitte set up offices in the city. At the same time, Macau’s numerous lifestyle and entertainment spots, coupled with an increasing number of events and trade fairs including Grand Prix Macau and World Heritage Travel Expo, are expected to create strong and growing demand for quality accommodation. As the first international serviced residence brand in Macau, Ascott Paragon Macau will set the benchmark and will be well positioned to cater to the demand for quality serviced residences in the market.”

Ascott Paragon Macau will be strategically located within Dynasty District in the heart of Macau.

When completed, Ascott Paragon Macau is expected to offer about 100 apartments from studios to one-bedroom units to cater to the different lifestyle needs of leisure and business travellers. The spacious apartments will come with a fully-equipped kitchen and elegant furnishing. Residents can enjoy facilities including a swimming pool, gymnasium, business centre and residents’ lounge.

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.
