Listed developers issued a mountain of public debt in H1

Bond issuance surged to US$2.1b.

Singapore developers are developing a strong appetite for listed debt, as evidenced by the surge in real estate bond issuance in the first six months of the year.

A report by CBRE highlighted that roughly US$2.1b of developer bonds were issued in Singapore in the first half, well in excess of the US$1.8b issued in the whole of 2014.

"Singaporean real estate firms are increasingly accessing funding from convertible bonds, perpetual bonds and medium-term notess," said CBRE.

The biggest offer was Global Logistics Properties' US$1b 10-year notes with a coupon set at 3.875%.

This was followed by CapitaLand's S$650m (US$480m) convertible bond issue.
