Cityscape@Farrer Park hits 152 sold units

Significant surge from June's data.

According to OCBC, Cityscape@Farrer Park accounts for an estimated 53% (S$63.9m) of total gross profits for the existing development portfolio of KSH.

Here's more from OCBC:

We conducted an independent visit to the site yesterday and found that 61% (152 out of 250 total units) have been sold to date, up significantly from 22% sold as of end Jun 2012.

Current price levels are just north of S$1.4k psf – marginally above our forecast - after management raised prices a month ago. From our channel checks, buyer interest for Cityscape appears to be firm with healthy show-flat attendances during weekends; this despite recent property curbs limiting loan tenures.

After visually inspecting the construction site, we judged it likely that progressive recognition for Cityscape would begin in 2QFY13 and boost earnings (to be announced in mid Nov 2012) by an estimated $3.5m to S$4.5m, driving a substantial YoY increase over last year’s quarterly PATMI of S$5.2m.

This increased visibility of development earnings would likely be a positive share price catalyst ahead, in our view.

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.
