Coliwoo will control 40% of the new JV company, while Four Star will control the remaining 60%. The Co-living hotel will operate under Coliwoo brand, a Co-living business that runs more than 800 rooms in Singapore in areas such as Balestier, Boon Lay, and Bukit Timah. Balestier Hotel is at 471 &amp; 473 Balestier Road, and the freehold property has a total GFA of about 10,000sqft. The seller of the hotel is an independent third party. The completion of the transaction is expected to be completed by 22Dec21.</p><p>Comments: This acquisition adds to 320 Balestier Road (acquired in 16Dec20) and 40 &amp; 42 Amber Road (acquired in 9Jun21), as well as acquisitions of 75 Beach Road and 115 Geylang Road, which are expected to add 166 keys to LHN’s Co-living portfolio in FY22E. These 4 projects with S$61.9m total investments should generate 10-20% return to bottom-line upon stabilization from FY23-24E onwards. We continue to like LHN for its efficient space optimization business as well as its expansion in the Co-living business. We reiterate BUY with TP S$0.42/share.
