Last Prime Residential Development Site in Newton-Scotts Area, Singapore for Sale by Tender

CB Richard Ellis is pleased to announce the launch of public tender for Dunearn Gardens. 96 units of the 114 units, representing 83.39% of the share values, have signed the Collective Sale Agreement (CSA).

Singapore (PRWEB) October 31, 2007 -- The premier freehold residential development site is located along Dunearn Road, close to Scotts Road. It sits on 8,866.8 square meters (approximately 95,443 square feet) of prime land and boasts panoramic views of Orchard Road and the Central Business District.

The guide price is $578.5 million, which equates to about $2,288 per square foot per plot ratio, inclusive of a Development Charge estimated to be $32.9 million.

Under the Master Plan 2003, the maximum permissible plot ratio is 2.8 with a height restriction of 117 meter AMSL (approximately 33 storeys). Developers can also further utilize the additional 10% Gross Floor Area allowable for the provision of balconies, subject to the payment of Development Charge.

Dunearn Gardens was completed in 1992. There are 12 two-bedroom (807 - 828 square feet) apartments, 64 three-bedroom (1,227 - 1,248 square feet) apartments, 34 four-bedroom (1,646 - 1,668 square feet) apartments and 4 penthouses (2,443 square feet and 3,293 square feet) presently on the site.

Based on the $578.5 million guide price, owners can receive approximately $3.42 - $9.29 million depending on their unit types and sizes. The developer can build about 134 units assuming an average size of 2,000 square feet each.

The estimated breakeven is in the region of $2,900 per square foot.

"The Newton area has always been well sought-after amongst homebuyers and investors due to its excellent location and good schools nearby. With Newton MRT station slated to be the "interchange hub" for the upcoming Downtown Line, we expect housing demand to grow more strongly.

Moreover, with Elmira Heights and Gilstead View being sold via en-bloc earlier this year, Dunearn Gardens remains the last and only available large residential site in the locality," said Jeremy Lake, Executive Director of Investment Properties.

The Tender Exercise closes at 3 p.m. on 28 November 2007.

Pullman Bangkok King Power Hotel Opens

Pullman Bangkok King Power, the city's hottest new property catering to a modern urban clientele, is poised to revolutionize Bangkok's accommodation sector with stunning architecture and interior design, new technologies and upscale meetings and business facilities.

Bangkok (PRWEB) October 20, 2007 -- Pullman Bangkok King Power, the city's hottest new property catering to a modern urban clientele, is poised to revolutionize Bangkok's accommodation sector with stunning architecture and interior design, new technologies and upscale meetings and business facilities.

The 386-room Pullman Bangkok King Power offers contemporary accommodation in four room categories with all rooms offering a unique set of benefits according to room type included in the rate. In-room facilities include interactive TVs offering satellite programmes and fast internet access and an e-check-in tool on the hotel's website.

According to Accor Asia Managing Director Michael Issenberg, Pullman Bangkok King Power brings a fresh perspective and attitude to accommodation in Bangkok.

"The hotel looks and feels unique. There is an excitement when you walk through the public areas, restaurants and rooms. It has a great design aesthetic that runs through the entire development. But Pullman Bangkok King Power is not only stunning in appearance, it is also very functional and user friendly which will make it popular with both MICE planners and corporate clients." Issenberg said.

"High end incentives, corporate meetings and conferences will be a growing segment for Pullman Bangkok King Power as it establishes itself very quickly both in domestic and overseas MICE markets," Issenberg said.

Pullman Bangkok's main Ballroom can accommodate over 1,000 persons supported by "state of the art" audio video technology. These "smart" venues were conceived and built to attract the MICE market and particularly up market MICE events. The hotel promises acknowledgement of corporate requests within 45 minutes and will provide a tailor-made package in less than 24 hours.

Mr Issenberg also noted that Pullman Bangkok King Power's other strength was its dedication to 'new generation' business facilities catering to an increasingly demanding and tech savvy market.

"Pullman Bangkok King Power has been developed to cater to a new generation of corporate clientele. The owner and the management team intend to "think ahead" of guest expectations and Pullman Bangkok King Power has established pro-active procedures in terms of service and catering to road weary corporate travellers," Issenberg said.

Pullman Bangkok King Power offers an Executive Floor supported by the hotel's Executive Lounge where guests enjoy exclusive check-in and check-out priveleges. This valued added service extends to Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport, where they will be given exclusive access to the King Power Executive Lounge at Suvarnabhumi Airport.

Located in central Bangkok, Pullman Bangkok King Power blends the convenience of a city hotel with a modern design. The hotel is attached to the new King Power Complex on Rangnam Road, close to the Victory Monument, and within walking distance to an emerging shopping, dining and entertainment enclave that is attracting affluent young professionals and families. This prime city location offers access to two BTS Skytrain stations within walking distance and easy access to Bangkok Suvarnabhumi International Airport via two expressway entrances.

The hotel's restaurants and bars serve a range of genuine Thai, Asian, European and Californian cuisines. Extensive shopping options and dining outlets are also available at the adjacent King Power Duty Free complex.

Low-Entry Land Prices Grab Investors Attention at Yucatán Greens, Mexico

This news release was distributed by the PR Web Newswire on behalf of the organization below.

Low-Entry Land Prices Grab Investors Attention at Yucatán Greens, Mexico

The five star golf and beach resort at Yucatán Greens in Mexico is offering the kind of early-entry first phase release prices that all land investors seek in order to gain maximum returns on their investments.

(PRWEB) October 10, 2007 -- Superbly located on the Yucatán Peninsula, near Cancun, the Yucatan Greens project is underway to create a luxury self-contained resort, combining the latest of ecotourism standards with a full range of on-site facilities and a new 27-hole golf course. Land plots are currently available at well below market value prices.

Bernardo Retana, Director of Investment Product and Development at the International Property Investment Network (IPIN), states, "We strongly believe that buying land here offers great growth potential whatever your intended investment strategy. Whether you choose to sell on the land prior to construction, build a villa on it to sell upon completion, or simply let the property over a period of years, you will be gaining maximum profits from your investment."

The extremely low entry prices are the earliest opportunity to buy, prior to official international launch. In fact, compared with similar neighbouring developments, prices are clearly under market value: eg. on a similar nearby golf resort with 18 holes of golf, plots of 600m2 are for sale at 103,000 USD, while Yucatán Greens with 27 holes of golf is currently offering the same amount of land for a mere 60,000 USD. Meanwhile, overseas investors are all the more interested as this affords an opportunity to take full advantage of the weak dollar, allowing money to go a good deal further.

Bernardo Retana continues, "Buying at the earliest possible point of sale of course allows investors to profit not only from below market values and high growth, but also to choose from the very best first and second line plots available, right from the start; everyone knows the importance of location when buying and selling land and real estate and Yucatán Greens offers a prime opportunity to choose the best from the very beginning." Having undergone the IPIN strict due diligence procedures, this land already comes with full planning permission and has been passed as a secure early investment opportunity that enables the highest possible growth.

The resort is located within a well-established but growing tourist region of Mexico where visitors come to enjoy its laid back Caribbean lifestyle, along with a tropical climate, golden sandy Gulf of Mexico beaches and ancient Mayan influences. Land purchase on such a luxury beach and golf paradise in this particular region is of course widely considered to be a highly valuable investment. Currently the Yucatán Peninsula attracts a considerable influx of Canadian & US visitors -- all likely candidates to fuel today's wise investments at Yucatán Greens.

All discerning property investors realize the importance of taking advantage of the most lucrative real estate opportunities as soon as they arise, before they become common knowledge. The International Property Investment Network (IPIN), operated by Property Showrooms, helps all types of investors in their quest to access up-to-the minute information on the very latest investment opportunities in the worldwide property market today.

Prime City Investment at Astrum Towers, Istanbul, Turkey

Prime City Investment at Astrum Towers, Istanbul, Turkey

From an amazing 29,092 GBP, city property in Turkey´s emerging Büyükçekmece of Istanbul is today offering excellent investment potential, according to The International Property Investment Network (IPIN). Tipped by top economists as a prime investment location, Istanbul offers various opportunities in Büyükçekmece, such as this carefully selected development at Astrum Towers. Its first phase comprises blocks of 1,285 one, two and three bedroom units, complete with swimming pools and other amenities, while two more phases are to follow.

(PRWEB) August 5, 2007 -- From an amazing 29,092 GBP, city property in Turkey´s emerging Büyükçekmece of Istanbul is today offering excellent investment potential, according to The International Property Investment Network (IPIN). Tipped by top economists as a prime investment location, Istanbul offers various opportunities in Büyükçekmece, such as this carefully selected development at Astrum Towers. Its first phase comprises blocks of 1,285 one, two and three bedroom units, complete with swimming pools and other amenities, while two more phases are to follow.

These off-plan apartments will provide comfortable, quality accommodation in an area now famed as a hotspot for the city's new industrial activities.

IPIN regards Astrum Towers is an ideal city investment because:
* Considering the high capital growth rates that Istanbul property is forecasted to achieve, the developers quote projected annual returns of 20%. With growth rates continuing to be driven by demand through increased jobs and disposable income, investors do expect to see significant growth in such a key location; strong GDP growth is also driving the demand for local housing.
* Located alongside the new industrial areas of Haramidere and Beylikdüzü, Astrum Towers sits conveniently close to the city centre, being easily accessible via the TEM motorway linking Istanbul to Ankara and the E-5 highway
* Due to its situation within an emerging business area of Istanbul, the development is set to attract a ready supply of professionals seeking rental accommodation, in turn fuelling a healthy buy-to-let investment market
* The blocks are a stone's throw from brand new commercial and recreation centres, providing convenient, modern amenities close at hand
* The major commercial harbor at Kumport is located close to Beylikdüzü, ideally serving industries in the area
* Daily flight connections link Istanbul and Heathrow via Turkish Airlines, with XL Airlines also running a weekly service to Gatwick
* The units are built to high standards by a large developer, carefully vetted by IPIN

Now that commercial giants such as Ikea and Harvey Nichols have opened up in Istanbul and the headquarters of many other multinational companies and foreign banks are now operating from Turkey, Istanbul is taking the commercial limelight - so much so that the retail space available is far below demand levels, thus creating a strong opportunity for all timely investors.

Due to their great investment potential both in terms of capital growth and rental yields, units at Astrum Towers are reserving very fast and IPIN advises swift action while phase one pricing levels and availability still last.

CLSA Capital Partners and CB Richard Ellis Join Hands to Create a New Commercial and Lifestyle Landmark in Greater Taipei

Worth NT$7 billion, Asia Plaza marks the largest foreign investment project in Taiwan's commercial property market.

Hong Kong (PRWEB) June 23, 2007 -- CLSA Capital Partners and CB Richard Ellis jointly announced the official unveiling of a premium commercial complex in the Neihu Technology Park Asia Plaza. Worth NT$7.06 billion, Asia Plaza is CLSA's first property investment in Taiwan. It is not only the largest property development project in the Neihu Technology Park, but also the biggest foreign investment in Taiwan's property market so far. Positioned as the headquarters for flagship enterprises, Asia Plaza was created specifically for technology companies. Its prime location, large floor plates, world-class construction and management, as well as its unique lifestyle features will certainly meet the needs of companies seeking sites for their global operational headquarters. Construction of Asia Plaza is scheduled to be completed in mid-2007, and it will become a new landmark in Neihu Technology Park and the business districts of Greater Taipei.

Located in the centre of Neihu Technology Park, on the intersection of Jiuzhong Road, Yangguang Street and Ruihu Street, Asia Plaza is a commercial complex that consists of three towers and a large open square occupying a total of 149,189 sq. ft. Situated on a stretch of prime real estate along the banks of the Keelung River, the development commands an excellent view of the river and Taipei, and has good transportation links with business districts in downtown Taipei and northern Taiwan.

Working with a team of renowned architects, design firms, and management companies from around the world, Asia Plaza has been designed to meet the needs of the most demanding tenants. Unlike the cold and sterile atmosphere of other office buildings, Asia Plaza has been created with a grand display of lifestyle features, including a 21,528 sq. ft. expansive courtyard with lush landscaping and a space of 71,042 sq. ft. for restaurants and al fresco cafes. Asia Plaza is an environment created for people to enjoy their work and leisure.

John Pattar, Managing Director of CLSA Capital Partners & Property Fund says, "We are optimistic about the outlook for the commercial property market in Taiwan, especially the Greater Taipei market is lack of large-floorplate, A-grade office space with professional property management capabilities and people-oriented features. This is why we have such a great confidence in Asia Plaza. CLSA Capital Partners has a wealth of experience in investing in the Asia-Pacific property market. In addition to investing in the project, we are committed to introducing a construction and property management model that meets international standards. This will not only provide a premium office environment for businesses, but also create new momentum for developing Taiwan's commercial property market."

Hong W. Van, Managing Director of CB Richard Ellis Taiwan, points out, "The keys to success in commercial office buildings' development are location, building quality, tenant mix, and property management. Based on our research, Taiwan's traditional model for property development and management is unable to satisfy consumers' need for A-Grade commercial leasing. As a result, world-class development, planning and management are the only way to create the greatest value, and Asia Plaza is a testament to this new model. CB Richard Ellis and CLSA have always had strong cooperative ties in Asia's commercial property market, and with the launch of Asia Plaza, we hope to extend the coverage of A-grade commercial property in the Greater Taipei area and create a new landmark for work and living."

The luxury condominium resort's appearance on the list indicates "excellent service, overall experience, and value," according to Expedia.

This recognition enhances an already impressive list of accolades for the successful Orlando condo hotel property including the AAA Three-Diamond rating, the highest available to a condominium resort, and the more recent designation as a Walt Disney World Ticket Destination. As a Walt Disney World Ticket Destination, owners and guests of the luxury condominium resort receive discounted rates at all Disney Parks, Universal Studios, SeaWorld, Kennedy Space Center, local attractions and dinner shows.

An Orlando condo hotel purchase at WorldQuest Resort offers owners well-appointed Mediterranean-style units--from 1,286 square feet to 1,546 square feet -- as well as access to clubhouse amenities including the fitness center, coffee bar, business center, and signature 10,000-square-foot swimming pool.

Recognitions such as the Expedia Insiders' Select List have generated outstanding occupancy at the luxury condominium resort. With a prime location just minutes from the most popular Orlando attractions and only 15 minutes from the Orlando International Airport, WorldQuest Resort regularly draws both leisure and business travelers.

Phase II of the property is slated for hotel occupancy in September 2007, while Phase III was recently made available to those seeking a condo hotel purchase. Phase III's new units will be available in early 2008 for hotel occupancy, and owners in Phase III have a special opportunity to participate in a two-year lease back program with WorldQuest Resort Rental Management.
