TFE Hotels to add 1200 rooms in big expansion

Singapore-backed TFE Hotels has accelerated its expansion with its project pipeline growing to 12 new hotels in Australia and Germany.

Nine of the hotels would open within two years, including a new Adina Apartment Hotel in central Brisbane opening next year and another on George Street in central Sydney in 2017. Both were former office towers bought for about $90 million in 2014.

Chief executive Rachel Argaman told The Australian Financial Review an announcement on three more hotels was "imminent". The openings, she said, confirmed TFE Hotel's reputation as the "developer's hotelier".

TFE Hotels was a joint venture between Australian hotel operator, the Toga Group, and developer Far East Hospitality, 70 per cent owned by the Far East Organisation, Singapore's largest private property developer and the remainder by The Straits Trading Company Limited.

"We have built more hotels in Australia than any of our competitors. Hotels are notoriously hard to get to stack up financially," Ms Argaman said.

"We think like an owner and absolutely understand both hotel management and development, this makes us a true owners' operator."

Between now and 2017, TFE Hotels would add more 1200 rooms in Australia and 500 in Germany, taking its total to about 12,000 rooms. Four hotels would open in Sydney, one in Brisbane and one in Canberra.

It was also understood Far East Hospitality would bring its boutique luxury Quincy Hotel brand to Sydney's The Rocks precinct under the TFE Hotels banner, replacing the Rendezvous Hotel on Harrington Street.

In October, Vibe Hotel Canberra Airport, with 191 rooms, would open near the new airport terminal, and in December, the 209-room Travelodge Sydney Airport would open.

Three new Adina Apartment Hotels would open in Leipzig, Frankfurt and Nuremburg next year. Apart from the Adina on George Street, in 2017, TFE Hotels would also open the 188-room Vibe Hotel in North Sydney - part of Cromwell Property Group redevelopment of Northpoint Tower - and the 170-room Adina Apartment Hotel Royal Randwick at Randwick racecourse.

Hmm seems that I was alloted shares in YHS, and never sold nor valued the YHS shares over these years, whereas for FEO I cashed out for a net of $0 profit and $0 loss. Problem is, how do I value the YHS shares now? $0?

[b]International hotelier Toga Far East Hotels will open Tasmania’s first Vibe Hotel in Hobart, despite the fact several major homegrown and international groups are planning to develop more accommodation in the state’s capital city and boost its room stock by nearly 30 per cent.[/b]
TFE has joined forces with Tasmanian developer Raadas Property to manage a 130-room Vibe Hotel opening in Hobart’s Argyle Street in December, 2017, signing a management agreement for 15 years.
Other hotel projects planned for Hobart include the Liverpool Street Icon complex. This will be developed by the Kalis Group and include a 187-room Crowne Plaza Hotel opening in October, 2017.
Fragrance Group is planning a 296-room hotel in Hobart’s ­Macquarie Street with work commencing last April.
Tasmanian developer Federal Group is planning Macquarie Wharf Shed 1, a 113-room hotel due to open in mid-2016.
The four developments represent a 27 per cent increase in Hobart’s room stock.
TFE chief executive Rachel Argaman said yesterday there had been consistent revenue per available room growth in Tasmania of more than 4 per cent.
“The market demand has been extraordinary, because of MONA and the evolution of Tasmania’s tourism market. Tasmania is really sparkling in terms of domestic and international tourism,” she said.
TFE also manages two Travelodges in Hobart near the airport and near the busy Salamanca Place retail centre. “We are very confident about Hobart, Hobart is a very big focus of our international marketing,” Ms Argaman said.

Far East Orchard to expand its property development portfolio into UK

On 4 July 2016 Far East Orchard Development (UK) Pte. Ltd ("FEOD")., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Far East Orchard Limited, has entered into a sale and purchase agreement  to acquire shares comprising 90% of the issued share capital of WFS 1 Limited ("WFS1"). FEOD’s acquisition is for the purpose of acquiring a property development project in the City of Westminster, London, the United Kingdom ("UK"). 

WFS1 is a private limited company that holds all the shares in Westminster Fire Station Limited ("WFSL"). Both WFS1 and WFSL are incorporated in the UK.

WFSL has entered into a Contract for Sale with The London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority ("Property Seller") to acquire the freehold land and the building thereon known as the Former Westminster Fire Station, located at 4 Greycoat Place, London for £9.4 million. On completion of the acquisition, WFSL will also make a payment of £0.21 million to the Property Seller for the purpose of extending the original completion date from 4 March 2016 to 4 July 2016.

The property is located in the prime central location within Victoria, in the City of Westminster, central London. The area is well served by public transport infrastructure with the St. James’s Park Station and Victoria Station within walking distance. The Project entails the development of the Property, a Grade II listed building, into a mixed-use development comprising residential accommodation and a restaurant in Central London.

Ive been monitoring this counter again for some time and would like to share with everybody here that Far East Orchard will likely turn into a Net Cash Position later this year once the profits of its Sydney Project and Rivertree Residences have been booked into its P/L statements.

Estimated total net development profits for the above 2 projects will be around 50M or 11c a share. This implies that Far East can sustain their dividend payout of 6c a share for the next few years without the need to dip into its cash reserves.

Far East Orchard is already currently in net cash.

One thing that im puzzled with FEO is why Far East Organization wants to list a hospitality stock together with a hospitality trust under the same parent? Isnt that a lose lose for both side? FEO leased out most of their prized sg assets to FEHT and in turn own 33% of the managerial trust business. Means they have no control over assets like orchard parade hotel etc and can only earn via managerial fees. I find the listing structure to ultimately only benefit their parent(Far East Organisation).
