Two cities, same complaint (2009#13)
During our visit to Shanghai we noted expensive housing is as challenging there
as it is in HK. While Shanghai may have more grounds to support solid price
growth in the medium term than HK, near-term policy risks are also higher, in our
view. Poor performance of recent IPOs may be a drag on the overall sector.

Views on stocks – IPO review

Three China property companies were listed in Hong Kong over the past three weeks.
Another four have passed the listing hearing and will likely be listed in 4Q09. Poor stock
performances post-IPO, however, should be a drag on the sector’s overall performance.

BBMG (2009 HK), a Beijing-based construction material manufacturer and property developer,
raised HK$6.85bn at HK$6.38 per share. China South City (1668 HK), a developer and operator
of a mega trade centre in Shenzhen, raised HK$3.15bn at HK$2.1 per share. Glorious Property
(845 HK), a developer focusing on Shanghai, Beijing and Tianjin with landbank of 13.6m sq m,
raised HK$9.9bn at HK$4.4 per share; the company forecasts it will achieve 2009 net earnings of
Rmb2bn (including a revaluation gain of Rmb600m). Powerlong (1238 HK), a developer and
operator of shopping centres in tier-2 cities with a landbank of 7m sq m, raised HK$2.75bn at
HK2.75 per share; the company forecasts it will achieve 2009 net earnings of Rmb3bn (including a
revaluation gain of Rmb1.8bn).

Forte Park Town is located 10 minutes drive north of Hopson Town. It has mainly detached villas
selling for Rmb25k per sq m or Rmb5m-7m per villa unit, vs Rmb20k per sq m at the end of 2007,

working in the southern part of Shanghai. 70% of launched units were sold at the launch last

We think future phases will sell at higher prices
The developers do not appear to We saw the properties and construction sites of 12 luxury property developments and identify two
be in a hurry to seel their luxury distinct categories: 1) quality projects built by reputable developers who are keen to sell the units
projects, thus we think future
quickly; and 2) those that focus more on maximising selling prices and profit margins than sales
phases will sell at higher prices
speed or the land appreciation tax implications. Not all high-end properties can sell quickly given
mispricing, weak marketing or disappointing product quality. On this front, the primary property
market in Shanghai appears to be more efficient and rational than the HK property market, where
primary supply is scarce and developers have marketed nearly every new project as a ‘luxury’
development, despite nearby properties selling at a huge discount vs when the project was
originally launched. Shanghai home buyers still have abundant choices in the primary luxury
market and can differentiate projects according to location and quality.

On average, the ASP of luxury properties is Rmb50k-60k per sq m for those located at the border
of the inner ring road, Rmb70k-90k per sq m for prime districts within the inner ring road, and
Rmb100k per sq m or above for the most prestigious areas with views of the Huangpu River.
However, as the market continues to heat up, more projects will likely become overpriced.

Shanghai Star River is one of the best luxury projects we saw in Shanghai. Although this is the
very first project developed by Star River in Shanghai and the project’s access to the subway is
not as convenient as competing projects, the units’ spaciousness, quality, detail, layout,
landscaping, greenery and furnishings are exceptional, in our view. ASP is Rmb60k per sq m vs
management’s initial guidance of Rmb46k per sq m. Sales hit Rmb4bn on the first day of the
launch, a record in Shanghai. Almost all 322 units launched are now sold and the next launch will
occur in two years. The project has auxiliary facilities such as a conventional hall, sports facilities,
a hotel and catering services. Buyers of Guangzhou Star River and Beijing Star River reportedly
flew to Shanghai for the launch but still failed secure units. We believe management aims to
establish its reputation in the city by offering premium quality products at a reasonable price. The
site was purchased in 2007 at what was then considered a very high price (more than Rmb10k
per sq m). Due to its superior quality Star River beat Gemdale and CRLN to win the site despite
having offered a lower bid. We believe Star River now trumps Yanlord’s Riverside City in setting
the standard for well-run, high-quality and large-scale luxury property in Shanghai.

Shanghai Shimao Riviera Garden’s location is more desireable but the quality of this project is
somewhat lower compared to Star River. The project is made up of seven mega towers (3,200
units), which was first launched in 2000 with much fanfare. Its waterfront location is within a five-
minute drive from Pudong Lujiazui, an area that attracts many locals and foreigners working in the
financial industry. This has supported fast sales at a high selling price. The project was the most
important project for the company between 2002 and 2006 and achieved Rmb2bn sales in 2005
and Rmb4bn in 2006. Its plan to launch the last tower at an ASP of Rmb65k per sq m was
derailed by the market correction in late-2008 and ASP fell to as low as Rmb40k-50k per sq m in
March 2009. The market recovery in 2Q09 then quickly boosted sales, with sales of 280 units (out
of a total of 414) generating Rmb2.5bn. In view of the buoyant market and difficulty in securing
new prime sites in Shanghai, management deliberately slowed sales after July by raising the
asking price to Rmb90k-120k per sq m for units above the 30th floor. Cheaper units sold earlier
this year are mostly below the 30th floor, which have views of the river partially blocked by SHKP’s
The Arch. The Arch should be launched in two years with a estimated ASP of more than Rmb200k
per sq m.

Like Shanghai Shimao Riviera Garden, Glorious’ Shanghai Bay is also a large-scale waterfront
residential project (total GFA of around 900k sq m), but the former is in the mature financial district
of Pudong while the latter is in Puxi, a still-developing residential area. With sales of Rmb2.6bn
the project ranked second in Shanghai in 2008, according to Soufun. Prices have jumped
significantly from Rmb30k per sq m in 2008 to Rmb60k per sq m with the recent launch of Tower 8
and to Rmb90k per sq m for Tower 2, which is situated at the waterfront. These prices significantly
exceed previous market expectations, thanks to the record-breaking price (Rmb27k per sq m)
achieved for a nearby government site. The integrated project includes two hotels, a shopping
mall and offices, with the Kempinski Hotel targeted to open in 2010. As a luxury property, we
believe Shanghai Bay’s ability to fetch Rmb90k per sq m in a non-prime location indicates that the
market is overheating.

SHUI’s three Shanghai projects: KIC, Ruihong Xincheng and Casa Lakeville
We view SHUI as the best proxy for the Shanghai market with almost 100% of its revenue came
from the financial capital between 2004 and 2006 (91% in 2007 and 81% in 2008).

SHUI’s Xintiandi project, known as Casa Lakeville, which is now in phase 3, is a very successful
integrated development that has preserved the historic buildings in the area. To many foreigners, it
is viewed as being among the first and most well-known luxury properties in Shanghai and in all of
China. The best three towers of Casa Lakeville were first launched in June 2008 at an ASP of
Rmb85k per sq m. Tower 11, which does not have a lake view, was launched in May 2009 at a
discounted price of Rmb57k per sq m. Tower 12, also without a lake view, saw immediate take-up
despite a 20% price increase from the previous month’s launch. The last tower, which has the
worst view, was launched in August at Rmb70k per sq m and was cleared almost immediately.
The remaining units of Casa Lakeville now command Rmb80k-120k per sq m.

Five low-rises (mainly duplexes) remain under construction above a retail podium in Casa
Lakeville. We think the target selling price will likely exceed Rmb100k per sq m. The next phase of
the Xintiandi project is the construction of Corporate Avenue P2, which is to be completed in 2011.
Relocation of the next residential phase, lot 116, is still ongoing but negotiations with local
residents will likely take time.

SHUI’s second major project in Shanghai is Ruihong Xincheng (RHXC), a large-scale (1.3m sq
m GFA) mass-market residential project located in the centre of Hongkou District above a subway
station. The quality of the project’s Phase 3 has improved significantly from Phase 2, which was
sold in 2006 for Rmb16k per sq m. Almost all 248 units of Phase 3 (mostly large-size units) were
sold at launch at Rmb30k per sq m. The next phase (lot 4) is situated between Phase 1 and
Phase 2 and is currently under construction. The sales staff aim to launch the project at the end of
2010 at an ASP of Rmb35k per sq m for the predominantly small-size apartments (80-90 sq m).
After lot 4, lot 6 will be next to go through relocation.

SHUI’s third project in Shanghai is located in Yangpu District close to several reputable
universities. The project provides a mix of low-rise office buildings and retail space, called KIC
Plaza, and a low-density residential area, called KIC Village. KIC Village Phase 2 offers 600 units
with a wide range of sizes that sell for an average of Rmb28k per sq m, versus Rmb22k per sq m
at the beginning of the year. The general image of the KIC project and the adjacent Wujiaochang
area has improved, thanks to the addition of several major shopping malls such as Wanda Plaza
in 2006, Orient Shopping Centre and Bailian Youyicheng in 2007 and the future Shanghai Hopson
International Plaza, which is currently under construction. We expect the area to become more
popular as tenants, workers and residents move into KIC Plaza and KIC Village.

Management has committed to increase its asset churn in the coming years and indicated that it
has sped up progress in relocations. SHUI’s brand, its product quality and superb master planning
should help consolidate its position in Shanghai, but we also believe landbank replenishment in
Shanghai remains crucial, especially as the company’s projects in other cities will take time to
make a meaningful contribution to the bottom line.

KERR’s Shanghai Central Residence, Yuchang’s Prince Hills, SPG Land’s Peninsula
Shanghai, and Pengxin’s Bundfield did not sell well during the bull market

Bundfield is located along the North Bund, just north of FRAN's Shanghai Port International
Cruise Terminal project. It offers a spectacular view of the Huangpu River, at the northern part of
the Pudong Lujiazui financial district and The Bund. However, views below the 14th floor will be
blocked by the Banyan Tree hotel after it is constructed. Prices therefore vary significantly: prices
for 128-278 sq m units below the 14th floor have risen to Rmb70k per sq m from Rmb50-60k per
sq m in January, while prices for 304-371 sq m units above the 14th floor have risen to Rmb120k-
160k per sq m from Rmb100k per sq m in January. Sales have been slow due to weak marketing,
mediocre product quality, inconvenient access and the wide price premium versus previous
phases of the same project that were developed by a different company. The project launched
more than 130 units in 2008 but only 30 have been sold so far. We believe the company aims to
maximise selling prices and profit rather than volume for this project.

We are slightly disappointed with the sales performance of KERR’s Shanghai Central
Residences Phase 2. The company launched 30 units of Tower 2 (all below the 20th floor) in
August but only managed to sell 16 at an ASP of Rmb86k per sq m, despite a improved market
environment. We believe the poor performance was due to the project’s average interior décor
standards. In contrast, nearby projects such as Huashan Residence (Jin’an District; selling for
Rmb95k per sq m) saw a better response at its launch last week. Another competing project in the
area is Wharf’s No.1 Xinhua Road, which launched recently at Rmb75k per sq m. For KERR’s
Shanghai Central Residence, the remaining units above the 20th floor will be launched at the end
of October. Management plans to raise prices 3-4%. The other two towers of Phase 2 are for
lease: Tower 3 offers 154 units (135-200 sq m) but is only 70% occupied, and Tower 1 offers 60
units (238-341 sq m) and is 92% occupied. Daily rents average around Rmb5.5 per sq m, implying
less than a 3% yield versus 4-5% at the peak of the market.

Another project with slow sales is Prince Hills located at a busy intersection in Changning District.
The project includes two residential towers, an office tower, a shopping podium and Hotel Nikko
(388 rooms), which is scheduled to open in 2010. Despite its prime location and supporting
facilities, more than 20 units remain unsold out of a total of 100 two years after the initial launch.
Prices have been relatively flat; the latest target price of Rmb70k per sq m is up slightly from the
Rmb50-60k per sq m at the launch in September 2007. CBRE is the sales agent for the project.
We believe the developer prefers to maximise prices rather volume given the scarcity value of the
project.

SPG is developing the Peninsula Shanghai in a joint venture with Hong Kong and Shanghai
Hotels. The hotel offers 235 hotel rooms and suites with impeccable interior décor. The
introductory room rate of around Rmb2,500 per night is nearly double that of SHIM’s Hyatt on the
Bund. One of its largest suites has two huge balconies, each of the size of a basketball court with
a 360-degree view of Shanghai Puxi and Pudong. The rack rate is Rmb85k. We believe the
hotel’s F&B and wedding banquet businesses should do well as Peninsula Shanghai provides a
classic European atmosphere quite unlike most of the modern five-star accommodation provided
by international hoteliers in Shanghai. Its entrance lobby mimics The Peninsula Hong Kong, a
popular rendezvous spot for high tea. Adjoining the hotel building is a serviced apartment, which
has no river view. The showroom was closed for redesigned during our visit, but the hotel staff
said that the 275-435 sq m units will likely command more than Rmb200k per sq m when
launched for sale towards the end of this year.

GREE’s Bund House and CRLN’s Bound of Bund are still under construction
Both sites are located in the Bund House had no public showroom when it was launched in August. All 86 units were sold at
Dongjiadu area of South Bund launch at an ASP of Rmb52k per sq m for total sales proceeds of Rmb1.5bn. Another batch is to
and have partial river views
be launched later this year with a target ASP of Rmb70k per sq m. GREE’s CEO Shou Bainian
has purchased a unit in Bund House.

The Bound of Bund is just across the street and was originally the Phase 2 of The Bund Side,
which was first launched in 2005 at an ASP of Rmb18k per sq m. The latest selling price is
Rmb40k per sq m. The Bound of Bund has a total GFA of 100k sq m and is selling 288 units in six
towers. The cheapest units are 188 sq m and start at Rmb55k per sq m. However, the sales staff
emphasised that the company has not set a target maximum selling price or average price and
prefers to sell the project slowly over three years to maximise profit.

Recommendation structure
Absolute performance, short term (trading) recommendation: A Trading Buy recommendation implies upside of 5% or more and a Trading Sell indicates downside of 5% or more. The
trading recommendation time horizon is 0-60 days. For Australian coverage, a Trading Buy recommendation implies upside of 5% or more from the suggested entry price range, and a
Trading Sell recommendation implies downside of 5% or more from the suggested entry price range. The trading recommendation time horizon is 0-60 days.
Absolute performance, long term (fundamental) recommendation: The recommendation is based on implied upside/downside for the stock from the target price. A Buy/Sell implies
upside/downside of 10% or more and a Hold less than 10%. For UK Small/Mid-Cap Analysis a Buy/Sell implies upside/downside of 10% or more, an Add/Reduce 5-10% and a Hold less
than 5%. For UK-based Investment Funds research the recommendation structure is not based on upside/downside to the target price. Rather it is the subjective view of the analyst based
on an assessment of the resources and track record of the fund management company. For listed property trusts (LPT) or real estate investment trusts (REIT) the recommendation is
based upon the target price plus the dividend yield, ie total return.
Performance parameters and horizon: Given the volatility of share prices and our pre-disposition not to change recommendations frequently, these performance parameters should be
interpreted flexibly. Performance in this context only reflects capital appreciation and the horizon is 12 months. Sector relative to market: The sector view relative to the market is the
responsibility of the strategy team. Overweight/Underweight implies upside/downside of 10% or more and Neutral implies less than 10% upside/downside. Target price: The target price is
the level the stock should currently trade at if the market were to accept the analyst's view of the stock and if the necessary catalysts were in place to effect this change in perception within
the performance horizon. In this way, therefore, the target price abstracts from the need to take a view on the market or sector. If it is felt that the catalysts are not fully in place to effect a
re-rating of the stock to its warranted value, the target price will differ from 'fair' value.

Valuation and risks to target price


Agile Property Holdings (RIC: 3383.HK, Rec: Hold, CP: HK$10.44, TP: HK$9.69): Our 12-month target price is the sum of our valuations of the company's development properties
using a three-stage DCF method and its investment properties using end-2009F NAV. Upside risks to our target price include a cash windfall from further stake disposals. Downside risk
would be: 1) market weakness in Guangdong; 2) slower than expected volume in Hainan project; 3) cash shortage due to capital withdraw from the Huizhou Bailuhu project; 4) delays in
project launches.
C C Land Holdings (RIC: 1224.HK, Rec: Sell, CP: HK$4.51, TP: HK$3.45): Our target price is based on the sum of our DCF valuation of development properties and end-2009F NAV of
investment properties. Upside risks to our target rice are: 1) a sudden rebound in transaction volumes and ASP; 2) unexpected positive government incentives; and 3) improved market
sentiment, due to lack of cooling measures.
China Overseas (RIC: 0688.HK, Rec: Buy, CP: HK$17.96, TP: HK$21.32): Our target price is based on the sum of our three-stage DCF valuation of its development properties and end-
2009F NAV of its investment properties. Downside risks include tightening of the macro lending environment, further tightening of mortgage on second home purchases, and the inability of
the company to accumulate prime land site at reasonable cost.
China Resources Land (RIC: 1109.HK, Rec: Buy, CP: HK$19.22, TP: HK$25.45): Our target price is based on the sum of our three-stage DCF valuation of its development properties
and end-2009F NAV of its investment properties. Upside risks include better-than-expected launches in Shenzhen. Downside risks include 1) thin margin due to high land cost; 2) less
support from the parent due to a slowing economy; and 3) weak demand for high-end projects.
Country Garden Holdings (RIC: 2007.HK, Rec: Hold, CP: HK$3.21, TP: HK$3.16): Our target price is based on the sum of our three-stage DCF valuation of its development properties
and end-2009F NAV of its investment properties. Upside risks include strong ramp-up of sales contribution from its Shenyang, Chaohu and Inner Mongolia projects. Downside risks include
further deterioration in sales performance of projects in the south and further book losses on its financial derivatives.
Franshion Properties (RIC: 0817.HK, Rec: Buy, CP: HK$2.46, TP: HK$2.93): Our target price is based on the sum of our three-stage DCF valuation of its development properties and
end-2009F NAV of its investment properties. Downside risks are: 1) construction delays in Shanghai; 2) rental and occupancy deterioration in the investment property market; and 3)
unexpected cooling measures. Upside risks include faster and better selling prices at its Shanghai Huishan project and acquisition of prime sites.
Greentown China (RIC: 3900.HK, Rec: Hold, CP: HK$12.62, TP: HK$10.88): Our target price is based on the sum of our three-stage DCF valuation of its development properties and
end-2009F NAV of its investment properties. Upside risks include improvement of net gearing through stake disposals and a new available financial channel. Downside risks include
cooling measures introduced by the government and an inability to acquire a new financing channel.
Guangzhou R&F (RIC: 2777.HK, Rec: Hold, CP: HK$15.96, TP: HK$15.50): Our target price is based on the sum of our three-stage DCF valuation of the development properties and
end-2009F NAV of the investment properties. Upside risks include acquisitions of land for further development. Downside risks are inability to reduce net gearing, lack of buyers for the
company's investment properties, and a delay in bond issuance.
Hopson Development (RIC: 0754.HK, Rec: Sell, CP: HK$15.10, TP: HK$10.28): Our target price is based on the sum of our three-stage DCF valuation of the company's development
properties and NAV of its investment properties. Upside risks include stronger-than-expected sales performance in Beijing and Guangzhou and the ability to continue to expand landbank
cheaper than land cost. Another upside risk is the unexpected increase in GFA delivery.
KWG Property Holding (RIC: 1813.HK, Rec: Hold, CP: HK$5.89, TP: HK$4.59): Our target price is based on the sum of our valuation of the company's development properties using a
three-stage DCF method and its investment properties using end-2009F NAV. Upside risks include a faster-than-expected recovery of the Chengdu market. Downside risks include
prolonged market weakness in Guangdong and a drying up of liquidity due to foreign capital withdrawal.
Shanghai Forte Land (RIC: 2337.HK, Rec: Hold, CP: HK$2.48, TP: HK$2.21): Our target price is based on the sum of our three-stage DCF valuation of FORT's development properties
and end-2009F NAV of its investment properties. Downside risks include delayed corporate bond issuance, difficulty in rolling forward existing debt, and further property-market
deterioration. Upside risks are a faster-than-expected domestic bond listing and a faster-than-expected warming of the Wuhan and Chongqing markets.
Shimao Property (RIC: 0813.HK, Rec: Buy, CP: HK$15.20, TP: HK$17.11): We use three-stage DCF and NAV analyses to calculate our target price. Downside risks include financial
difficulties leading to project delays and disposals, damage to brand equity from aggressive price cuts, and an inability to grow landbank in prime locations due to competitors bidding up
the price. Another downside risk is that the company may be overly optimistic about the outlook for China's real estate market, thus engaging in over-expansion and buying landbank at an
unjustifiably high cost.
Shui On Land (RIC: 0272.HK, Rec: Hold, CP: HK$4.91, TP: HK$4.24): Our target price is based on the sum of our three-stage DCF valuation of development properties and end-2009F
NAV of investment properties. Downside risks include completion delays due to relocation issues and further deterioration of the investment property market. Upside risks include faster-
than-expected pick-up in the investment property market in Shanghai and stronger ASP increases in Chongqing and Wuhan.
Sino-Ocean Land (RIC: 3377.HK, Rec: Buy, CP: HK$8.22, TP: HK$7.69): Our TP is based on the sum of a DCF value of the company's development properties and end-2009F NAV of
its investment properties. Downside risks include further cooling measures in the property market, lower than expected transaction volume due to change of market sentiment, and inability
to expand landbank at reasonable cost.
SOHO China (RIC: 0410.HK, Rec: Hold, CP: HK$4.42, TP: HK$4.86): Our target price is based on the sum of our three-stage DCF valuation of SOHO's development properties and
end-2009F NAV of its investment properties. Downside risks include further deterioration in the Beijing market, failure to negotiate a favourable purchase price for its potential acquisitions
and inability to sell acquired projects at an appropriate profit. Upside risks include surprise land acquisition at cheap cost, or any bank expansion through other means of acquisition.
