South Beach Consortium secures $1.6b in financing

South Beach Consortium (SBC), the joint venture consortium established to develop South Beach, a landmark commercial and lifestyle development in Singapore, has successfully secured financing of $1.6 billion.

The funds will be used to refinance its $800 million bank loan facility and to finance the construction of South Beach.

SBC is presently held by Scottsdale Properties, a joint venture company in which City Developments holds 50.1% interest and IOI Corporation Berhad holds 49.9% interest.

The five-year $1.6 billion secured term loan is provided by a syndicate comprising major local and international financial institutions – DBS Bank, United Overseas Bank, Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation, The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (Singapore Branch) – the same consortium of banks that had provided the earlier $800 million loan facility in June 2009.
