As such, the factor to consider is to include the first price of investment decision of equity in Shenton 101 and the expense incurred by Shenton 101 for the procurement of Shenton House and any kind of advance charges incurred by Shenton 101 such as consultants’ fees and expenses and tender, application and approval expenses in addition to cost of finance,” IOIPG added.
This is to deal with and mitigate the potential conflict of attention that are going to occur because of his part in the redevelopment of Shenton House via Shenton 101, through which he is the sole shareowner. The intent of the proposal is to line up the interests of IOIPG thereupon of Shenton 101, which are going to support the redeveloped real estate as property investment upon its successful redevelopment.
The existing extra current resources obligation– leaving out the development cost, that is to be finalised– is S$ 476 million, that includes land betterment rates, rent top-up costs, and operation expenses, it claimed.
According to a bourse declaration, Yeow Seng has actually proposed that IOIPG acquire all or portion of his exclusive vehicle, Shenton 101 Pte Ltd, which is preparing to redevelop Shenton House, works for which are set up to start at the end of 2025.
