Despite the size, consultants remain sanguine about the supply situation of the Grade-A office as the IOI development’s occupancy crosses the 75% mark.
How the city-state can continue to prosper as peace, free trade and continued globalisation come under threat
Andy Grove, the long-serving CEO of Intel, wrote that only the paranoid will survive. Given our times, his advice is probably a helpful starting point as we think about Singapore in the coming years.
Kiat Lim, son of ‘Remisier King’ Peter Lim, has been tasked with running Thomson Medical Group A50. He has identified Vietnam as the place to be after the acquisition of a hospital for US$353 million. What plans does he have to ride Asia’s growing healthcare needs?
More philanthropists, family offices and ultra-high-net-worths are warming up to climate tech start-ups like EV battery recycling as the world rushes to decarbonise. Is this asset class an upcoming investment hot spot?

Fraser Property’s (FPL) net profit in FY2024 ended Sept 30, was bolstered by higher contributions from residential properties in Australia and China despite higher interest costs.
The developer’s attributable net profit of $206.3 million rose by 19.2% y-o-y, on the back of a 6.8% y-o-y rise in revenues and a 3% y-o-y rise in pbit. Operationally, the group’s recurring income base from logistics and industrial properties in Europe and Australia and Singapore commercial properties continued their steady returns.
One Bangkok, a decade in the making, the largest development in the city and possibly all of Southeast Asia, opened on Oct 25. Two out of five office towers are operational.

SGX’s first and only de-spac has whetted the market’s appetite, promising more action in the year ahead. Will investors bite?
Live streaming company 17Live faced a challenge in 2024 following its de-spac (special purpose acquisition company) transaction late last year, which saw three CEO changes in quick succession.
