Malaysia's Iskandar Waterfront $370m IPO to list in June: Sources

KUALA LUMPUR (REUTERS) - Iskandar Waterfront Holdings Sdn Bhd, a Malaysian master property developer, is expected to list on the local bourse in June in a deal set to raise more than US$300 million (S$370 million), two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

The initial public offering (IPO) will see the Johor-based company joining a handful of listed master developers in Asia, such as the Philippines' Ayala Corp and Japan's Mitsubishi Estate Co Ltd. Those companies typically develop a region and have a number of property companies in their stable.

"They are targeting a market capitalisation of some 9 billion ringgit (S$3.6 billion)," one of the sources said, declining to be named as the matter was private.

The targeted market value will put Iskandar Waterfront nearly on par with Malaysia's largest property developer UEM Land Holdings Bhd.

Property prices to keep rising

Posted on January 23, 2013 - Featured, Property News.

PETALING JAYA: High property prices are set to “keep increasing” in certain areas with good fundamentals, said the Association of Valuers, Property Managers, Estate Agents and Property Consultants (AVPEP) president Lim Lian Hong.

“In certain areas, property prices will keep increasing. The property market is backed by the country’s economic fundamentals.

“It is better not to try to guess which one will go up and which one will come down. This is because the property market is not (volatile) like the stock market,” Lim said.

He said the prices were also determined by other fundamentals such as population growth, access to highways, and also types of design and finishes that a particular property offered to buyers.

Speaking at a briefing during the Property Market Outlook For 2013 forum organised by AVPEP, Lim said other important factors to include in evaluating a property was its surrounding area such as other upcoming developments.

He also said credit had to be given to certain developers for being able to market and sell their products so well in spite of the high prices.

“They (the developers) have been able to develop properties so well that sees values go up and this is good for everybody,” Lim added.

He said that another factor which influenced property prices was the supply-demand factor.

“If you ask me (specifically) in which areas the prices will go up or down, you will have to look at the supply and demand (equilibrium),” he quipped.

AVPEP honorary secretary Foo Gee Jen said another factor was the property’s access to transportation facilities – roads, rails or highways.

“In some areas today, even a Chinese school (situated nearby) may be key to an increase in land values. We are starting to see that,” Foo said.

On a related matter, Property Services and Valuation Department deputy director-genaral (technical) Faizal Abdul Rahman said that 2013 might see some “adjustment” in property prices.

“The increase in prices will not be as high as in previous years. Prices this year will moderate, depending on the area.

“Incoming supply in terms of numbers will be more than in previous years but the growth percentage will be less,” Faizal said.p

The targeted market value will put Iskandar Waterfront nearly on par with Malaysia's largest property developer UEM Land Holdings Bhd.

This is going in line with the host of IPOs that have taken place in 2012.
In fact, Bursa should be the top IPO destination in Asia-Pacific last year with nearly 20 listings raising more than RM 23 billion.

Coupled with the fact that the country is one of the top issuers of sukuk bonds globally, it is making the ringgit more and more undervalued!
