> In hindsight, FCL bought ALZ well and is systematically developing and extracting value from ALZ's asset heavy and asset light platforms..

Guru GG, the timing of FCL purchase of ALZ is on hindsight perfect.  Not just they the purchase came with a big pipeline of stable yield assets.

In 2015 -

1.  China and Australia economies also slowed down considerably, causing a significant decline in the interest rates.  

2.  Chinese developers also flooded down under to cushion china real estate slowdown.

So... there u have it...  FCL riding high on its decision.  The most generous on hindsight... capitaland, but they also got a good premium price :-)

FCL is majority owned by Towkay and the companies he controls... there is little room for error especially when he first borrowed $ from a consortium led by Dr Wee for a leverage buyout hence if the LBO is not attractive enough for the risks, he would not have gone ahead. 

When ALZ came along after FCL was successfully listed as another entity, his reading couple with that of his team members led to him paying a premium above what Stockland had paid and what Stockland can afford.

Capland on the other hand is run by a team of paid professionals that very likely take instructions from the top. They own v little of Capland and hence their interests is only aligned with that of the pay master of which their views are paramount to the interests of the minorities.

Which one to park yr hard earned $ will be dependent on your own preference and yr own reading.

For me my hard earned $ is really hard earned and I will only allocate to those whose ability and instinct is as close as mine.

Anyway, the mkt place is huge and and there is a place under the sun for everyone...

YMMV

Row over plans for old Royal Children’s Hospital site at Herston

[b]A ROW is brewing between senior medics and the Palaszczuk Government over the redevelopment of Brisbane’s Herston quarter, site of the old Royal Children’s Hospital.[/b]
Doctors at the adjoining Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital have written to Health Minister Cameron Dick pleading with him to retain the five-hectare site for vital public health services, rather than hand it over to commercial interests.
The Government has short-listed two private groups to redevelop the site – Frasers Property with Australian Unity, and Lend Lease with Trinity Health.
But the RBWH’s Medical Staff Association – whose members include internationally recognised leaders in their fields – wants the site retained for public health.
They believe privatising the precinct would be a wasted ­opportunity to use the property for the benefit of Queenslanders.
In a letter to the Minister earlier this month, obtained by The Sunday Mail, the association has called for a publicly owned 132-bed rehabilitation service and elective surgery centre to be developed on the site to help address the state’s growing ageing population.
“It is inconceivable to us to think a public health presence would not be the core focus of this site,” wrote the association’s chair, Dr Liz Kenny, a respected ­radiation oncologist.
“Our clinicians have a duty to our patients and our community to influence and guide any matters relating to redevelopment on our campus.

“With the challenges that we face in healthcare it is essential that we embrace care and service models that improve our efficiency whilst at the same time support formal training and research.
“Not only is this the best clinical model, it is exceptionally financially responsible.”
Dr Kenny said the model proposed by RBWH medical specialists would increase Queenslanders’ access to endoscopies – diagnostic procedures of the digestive tract, seen as a priority in healthcare.
“We are mindful that the proposed Herston Quarter Redevelopment is likely to be the only opportunity for expanded public health services on our precinct for the foreseeable future,” she said.
Health workers attended a forum last Wednesday with Treasury officials who cited commercial in-confidence when asked about plans by the two private groups competing to redevelop the site.
The groups are due to submit proposals by March 2106 with an announcement expected by midyear.
RBWH Medical Staff Association has requested a meeting with Mr Dick
A spokesman for Mr Dick said: “It’s always been the Government’s intention that a substantial proportion of the project remain in public hands.”

THE broad range of property available in Craigieburn is helping propel the market, local agents believe.



Khaled Khaled, of YPA Craigieburn, said the area’s property market was drawing in a significant number of buyers.

“The variation in the types of properties available means there is something for everyone,” Mr Khaled said.

“There are home’s for entry level buyers, family buyers and premium homes.

“The only problem we have now is that we don’t have enough stock to meet the demand.”

While spring is usually a strong buyers’ market, Mr Khaled said this year was bucking the trend.

“Everybody has more buyers than sellers at the moment,” he said.

“There is a strong demand for properties across the board.”

A dated four-bedroom home at 19 Second Ave, Craigieburn, sold under the hammer for $335,000, while a modern five-bedroom home at 48 Royal Tce sold for $651,000 within a week of hitting the market.



“The fact that we have a house at the lower end of the market selling for 10 per cent more than the vendor’s reserve price and a premium home selling in a week shows the market strength,” Mr Khaled said.

“The buyers are out there, so we now just need stock to match that demand.”

[b]Estate notches sales century[/b]

VALLEY Park has reached a significant sales milestone as the latest stage of the development hits the market.

There are now 30 families living in the Frasers Property Australia development in Westmeadows.

“Sales progress has been excellent — we recently recorded our 100th sale and have had more than 30 families move in to their new homes so far,” said Frasers Property Australia development director Alex Newell.

“We’re excited to be showcasing our new community to locals and we’re pleased to continue welcoming new residents into the Valley Park development.”

A new stage of houses was also released last week, which included a range of three- and four-bedroom designs with 35sq m balconies.

The wait is almost over for investors hoping to build their dream home near the long awaited Shell Cove marina.
The Waterfront Shell Cove was advertised in the Illawarra Mercury on Saturday with potential buyers invited to register their interest in participating in a ballot, for a chance to secure a slice of the prime coastal land.
Frasers Property Australia development director Glenn Colquhoun said interest was so strong over the weekend that registrations of interest for the first release were now closed.
A joint project between Shellharbour City Council and Fraser's Property Australia, the first land release consists of 21 lots.
The price guide for the land lots, which range in size from 393 metres square to 814 metres square, is between $435,000 to $635,000.
"We will have a number of further releases coming up next year and those interested in these releases can register their interest on the Shell Cove website," Mr Colquhoun said.
Shellharbour City Council Mayor Marianne Saliba said the development of the town centre and the first stage of the housing around the harbour was an exciting time for Shellharbour.
"This is something that has been almost 30 years in the making and I can't wait to see it finished," Cr Saliba said.
"We are very excited about it. We have been waiting a long, long time."
Cr Saliba said the Shell Cove development was progressing well with the harbour now more than 60 per cent dug out and boats expected to be moored in 2018.
"It's tangible now. We can actually see what's going on down there now."
"I have no doubt that there will be a great demand for those properties."
When complete, the Waterfront development will also include a supermarket, shops, cafes, restaurants and speciality shops, along with children's water play areas and parkland.
"When the marina and harbour are built it is going to be an asset for the whole of the city," she said.
"People from Albion Park, Oak Flats, Flinders or wherever they live, will be able to make use of that open space around that waterfront and enjoy watercraft type activities."

All blocks in the first land release in the much anticipated The Waterfront estate at Shell Cove were snapped up within a few hours of going on sale on Saturday morning.
More than 140 people pre-registered earlier this month for the first land release of 21 residential blocks at the long awaited Shell Cove marina.
Shell Cove, Frasers Property Australia Development Director Glenn Colquhoun said said he wasn't surprised by the huge demand and quick sales result given the level of interest seen in the development so far.
The land release comprised lots ranging in size from 393 to 814 metres square, with settlement and construction of new homes able to commence in mid 2016. The price guide for the land lots was $435,000 to $635,000.
Located in the Anchorage precinct of The Waterfront, the blocks will be within walking distance to the 300 berth marina currently under construction, and the future town centre which will include a library, community centre, supermarket, cafes and specialty shops.
Shell Cove is the largest coastal residential development ever initiated by a local government authority in Australia. Its man-made harbour will be around 30 per cent larger than Sydney's Darling Harbour upon completion.
"We are very proud to be part of such a significant development located along some of the most beautiful coastline in New South Wales," Mr Colquhoun said.
"The value of the premiere release land lots at The Waterfront, Shell Cove is enhanced not only by the convenience of the local town centre and the regional shopping centre being just a short drive away, but also by the many different lifestyle activities on offer for residents."
The release of the first land lots is a major milestone for the joint project between Frasers Property Australia and Shellharbour City Council.
Shellharbour City Council Mayor Marianne Saliba said she was proud to see the development reaching its milestones.
"We are striving to create a dynamic place that will enhance the coastal setting and optimise the potential for the community and visitors to enjoy," Cr Saliba said.
"This is an ambitious project that is reaching its milestones and creating a really liveable and vibrant space."
Meanwhile the first release of land suitable for duplex development at The Waterfront has just been released.
Only six corner blocks are part of the release, ranging in size from 524 metres square to 593 metres square.
Interested buyers must first pre-qualify though an expression of interest submission before being invited to tender for any of the lots.

THE handsome brick and decorative cast-iron facade of Yungaba House welcomed immigrants to Brisbane in the late 1880s.
Now, the iconic home is set to welcome an exclusive set of new residents as construction starts on 10 luxury residences within the historic building.
The Residences Yungaba is the final stage of a $150 million urban renewal project at Kangaroo Point by Frasers Property Australia.
The historic home, originally built in 1887 as an immigration reception centre, was designed to reflect the optimism of the time and greeted thousands of new arrivals to Queensland.
Hutchinson Builders and their specialist heritage team have started the detailed work to transform the site into 10 three and four-bedroom apartments, with construction expected to be completed in the final quarter of 2016.
Frasers Property Australia Queensland Residential general manager Cameron Leggatt said preserving the grandeur of The Residences, Yungaba was essential to the project’s success.
“It’s a significant building in the history of Brisbane, it’s a spectacular location adjoining the Brisbane River in a fairly prominent inner-city location, and the heritage-listed building is architecturally significant as well,” he said.
“When you wrap those things together, it’s rare you get that when you are developing, and those things make it a very special building.” Mr Leggatt said Yungaba had “amazing architectural features” inside and out, and it was an intricate process to respect the heritage, from the grandeur of the verandas to the decoration of the high ceilings, and right down to the door-latch mechanisms.
“The refurbishment of the building is centred around the preservation and bringing back to life of those key attributes,” he said.
“There are very few examples of buildings like this being restored and converted to residential use.
“It’s a real privilege from our point of view to be doing it.” The Yungaba $150 million masterplan precinct includes adjacent apartment building Promontory, as well as the Linc and Affinity buildings, with a total of 140 apartments.One and three-bedroom apartments have sold out across the latter buildings, with only 12 two-bedroom configurations remaining at Affinity, and a single two-bedroom apartment left at Linc.

FCL sold its 50% stake in 1 @ Changi City Office for S$420m or $210m for its 50% share.

1 @ Changi City was last reported to be carried in FCL AR FY9/14 @ $300m, ie the consortium made $120m from the asset light exercise or 40% on the BV.

FCL's likely share will be $60m gains and $210m in sales proceeds to cover borrowings @ associate levels.

Through the exercise, FCL will be raising $ from matured assets to be recycled into their green field Cecil Street Office and China Square Central redevelopment.

A well oiled multi-asset, multi-country platform that has been running smoothly.

So far FCL-ALZ's residential development sales Down Under has been maintaining healthy momentum notwithstanding the reported cooling of major capital cities outlook largely due to its exposure to the mass housing segment. 

FCL-ALZ's commercial property segment's inhouse development pipeline remain very healthy underpinned by strong tenants demand and continuing compression in property yields as a result of healthy demand of quality assets from domestic and foreign investors in view of lengthy and transparent tenacy structures Down Under. The dependence on proven inhouse capability established under the Capland regime has saved FCL the need to be in the market chasing assets in a healthy demand overall environment and helps pave way for future asset light initiatives that will unlock more values for FCL holders.
