UOL unit Qin Rui Jia (Shanghai) Realty Co (QRJ) and China Jinmao Holdings Group (JM) have won a tender for a residential site in Hong Kou district, Shanghai for $1.66b (RMB8.96b).

The partners secured the 19,319 sq m site on a 10:90 basis through a government land sales tender which closed on 20 February.

The acquisition will expand UOL’s development footprint in China and will be financed from existing funds, external borrowings, and proportionate shareholders’ loans.

QRJ is a wholly owned subsidiary of Shanghai Jin Peng Realty, a 40:30:30 joint venture of UOL Capital Investments (UCI), Singland China Holdings, and Peak Star, a unit of Kheng Leong Company (KLC).

UCI will contribute $66.40m (RMB358.57m) towards the tender price for the site, corresponding to its indirect 4% interest in the joint venture.

The acquisition of land use rights and site development will be carried out by a joint venture company to be established in China by QRJ and JM on a 10:90 basis, subject to regulatory approvals.

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.
