Hisense, the global consumer electronics and appliances corporation, has been named in Fortune China’s ESG Influential Listing for the third consecutive year for its outstanding efforts in environment improvement, employee care and community engagement.

 

Hisense is advocating for the establishment of a comprehensive green and low-carbon production system that encompasses the entire energy utilisation process, including research and development design, supply chain, manufacturing, sales, and after-sales, as well as recycling and comprehensive product utilisation.

 

Taking TV products as an example, the overall recycling rate of raw materials for Hisense Laser TVs has now reached 92%, and a 100-inch Laser TV can save more than half of the energy of LCD TVs of the same size. Furthermore, through more advanced and environmentally friendly design, Hisense ULED TVs have reduced the weight of their shells by 8%, resulting in a saving of 1,133.07 tons of plastic and 100 tons of steel in 2023 in comparison to 2022, whilst also improving resource utilisation.

 

As of today, Hisense has 26 R&D centres, 34 industrial parks, and 64 overseas companies and offices worldwide. Hisense is actively establishing a global Supply Chain Management Center and utilising overseas companies and marketing platforms to realise the synergistic benefits of overseas layout and supply chain, reduced logistics costs and energy consumption. Hisense also employs local employees, contributes tax revenue, promotes local economic and social development, and achieves altruistic and win-win results through global coordination.

 

As the official partner of UEFA EURO 2024™, Hisense also aims to provide football fans with an immersive game-watching experience through eco-friendly TVs, and the company will continue to adopt carbon-neutral practices in its globalisation strategy.

 

‘Fortune’ highlighted that Hisense has established 13 National Green Factories in China, and its photovoltaic power generation projects are progressively releasing a “low-carbon dividend” with an annual power generation capacity of about 70 million kWh, of which 12.85 MW was newly built in 2023. Today, photovoltaic power generation contributes to over 11% of Hisense’s overall electricity consumption.

OXO Living, a boutique property development and management, proudly presents OXO The Residences, an ambitious IDR 500 billion (USD 31 million) venture set to rise in Bali’s picturesque Nyanyi area by late 2026. The project, conceived in partnership with renowned architect Alexis Dornier, will boast 40 exclusive neo-luxury villas sprawled across two hectares, complete with state-of-the-art communal amenities.

 

Reflecting OXO Living’s green credentials, the upcoming development will be equipped with solar panels, rainwater catchment areas, water treatment, osmosis water filters, and recycled or recyclable raw materials. Modern villas, ranging from 184 to 280 square metres, will be designed to appeal to a global clientele, with prices starting at IDR 7.5 billion (USD 500,000).

 

Located on the prime Balinese coastline in Tabanan, OXO The Residences is minutes from the central expat hub of Canggu, and from Tanah Lot with its many temples and cultural attractions. Also nearby is Nuanu City, a vibrant creative hub that champions thriveability on 44 hectares, offering a lifestyle where innovation converges with nature’s beauty. With a philosophy that nurtures creativity, fosters connections and promotes holistic well-being, the project is anticipated to be Bali’s next landmark destination, following the success of Canggu.

 

Johannes Weissenbaeck, Founder and CEO of OXO Living, said, “OXO The Residences is poised to redefine neo-luxury living in Bali. Our commitment to international standards ensures that our developments resonate with both local and global audiences. Residents of OXO The Residences will have exclusive access to the myriad of facilities that the nearby Nuanu City has to offer, enhancing their living experience.”

 

Indonesia’s Market Outlook

In a strategic pivot from its pre-pandemic focus on international clientele, OXO Living is now courting a predominantly domestic market with OXO The Residences, targeting an 80% local buyer base. This shift aligns with the robust growth of Indonesia’s residential property market, which Mordor Intelligence projects to expand from US$ 67 billion in 2023 to US$ 72 billion in 2024, and further to an estimated US$ 105.7 billion by 2029.

 

Research by Rumah123.com highlights that foreign property interests in Indonesia are primarily from Singapore, Hong Kong, the United States, Australia, Malaysia, and Japan, with a preference for landed houses, land and apartments.

 

“Presently, Bali is undergoing a transformative shift in its property industry, fuelled by the emergence of the neo-luxury trend—a niche market that OXO Living is uniquely positioned to thrive in. Across all our completed OXO Living property projects, we’ve steadfastly embraced the principles of zero waste, solidifying our expertise in sustainable development.”

 

Elevating Comfort and Luxury to New Heights

Alexis Dornier, the visionary architect of OXO The Residences, shared his aspirations for the project. “Visually, our goal is to deliver a design that is both understated and emblematic. We aspire to create structures that harmonise with Bali’s natural beauty and cultural heritage, prioritising materials that are deeply rooted in the island’s identity and utilising local resources like the readily available bricks from Tabanan and the region’s distinctive volcanic stone.”

 

Dornier elaborates on the synergy between OXO Living and his design studio, “Our collaboration thrives on a shared commitment to sustainability. We believe in the ethos of ‘building less to create more value,’ ensuring our developments are in harmony with the environment.” This philosophy is the cornerstone of a partnership that seamlessly blends architectural innovation with ecological consciousness.

Tuan Sing Holdings Limited recently announced its acquisition of a newly completed mixed-use property in a prime location in Singapore as part of its broader growth strategy to further expand its hospitality business in Singapore and the region. The property, known as Fraser Residence River Promenade, with a conservation warehouse component, is strategically located within Robertson Quay along the banks of the Singapore River, encompassing an up-and-coming business/tourist vicinity linked to the bustling Clarke Quay/Robertson Quay precinct.

 

Under a sales and purchase agreement signed today, Tuan Sing is acquiring the property for $140.889 million which comprises a 4-storey block of 72 serviced apartments, 3 conservation warehouses as well as 47 car park lots. The latest acquisition complements the Group’s two existing hospitality assets in Australia – Grand Hyatt Melbourne and Hyatt Regency Perth. This would be expanded further when its Opus Bay project in Batam, an integrated township which has a hotel component, currently under development, is completed.

 

“This strategic acquisition allows the Group to enlarge its hospitality portfolio’s product offering and geographical presence, contributing to its overall growth strategy,” said Mr William Liem, Group Chief Executive Officer of Tuan Sing.

 

“This new property will give us a base in Singapore, where we are headquartered and a key gateway city and world-class destination for business and leisure, to expand our hospitality business,” he added.

 

Mr Lim Guan Kiang, Vice President, Hospitality, commented, “We are pleased to have had the opportunity to acquire this iconic asset at a time when the hospitality market is bouncing back strongly following the opening of borders for travellers worldwide.”

 

Supported by various government agencies, including the Singapore Tourism Board, Singapore consistently delivers high-value visitor experiences, further cementing its reputation as a top destination for both entertainment and business. This has led to increased demand and stronger occupancy rates for both hotels and serviced apartments in Singapore.

 

“This new addition to our hospitality portfolio will position us well to capture emerging market trends and capitalise on growing demand, helping us to expand our hospitality business in the region,” added Mr Lim.

 

Newly completed and opened in September 2023, the property has quickly established itself in the Singapore hospitality market, with rising occupancy and room rates complemented by Jiak Kim House, a contemporary restaurant within the adjacent conservation warehouses. The main attraction of this property is its location along the Singapore River, which is surrounded by an affluent River Valley enclave as well as being within a stone’s throw from the vibrant nightlife at the Clarke Quay and Robertson Quay precincts. It is also within walking distance from Fort Canning Park, a hilltop park steeped in heritage and history.

50 Armenian Street, Wilmer Place has been sold via an off-market private treaty exercise. Wilmer Place, owned by Wilmer and Sons Private Limited, was sold to Jadeite Properties Pte Ltd – a 50:50 joint venture that is held by Coliwoo Holdings Pte. Ltd. (a subsidiary of LHN Group) and Macritchie Developments Pte. Ltd. (owned 90% by Ching Chiat Kwong and 10% by Shawn Ching). The sale price of the property is $26.5 million based on the remaining 22 years of tenure of the property.

 

Wilmer Place, at 50 Armenian Street, is a four-storey, non-conservation building situated in the historic Armenian Street, a part of Singapore’s Civic & Cultural District. Armenian Street is named after the Armenian Church of St Gregory the Illuminator and was built in the 1840s and originally called Armenian Church Street. The street used to be a four-lane road and was pedestrianised in 2019.

 

Today, Armenian Street is a part of the beating heart of Singapore’s Civic & Cultural district and home to iconic buildings such as The Peranakan Museum and the Substation. During the Singapore Night Festival, the street will also be lit up and decked with performances and street stores. Wilmer Place boasts a vibrant neighbourhood, surrounded by a tapestry of tourist hotspots, cultural gems, educational hubs, and much more.

 

Dr Brian Heng, Director of Wilmer and Sons Private Limited, says, “Wilmer Place at 50 Armenian Street has had a very long association with the Heng family since 1948. The divestment of Wilmer Place is part of the Group’s capital recycling strategy. We are pleased that this Singaporean JV will be the new Owner of this charming iconic building.’’

 

Mr Kelvin Lim, Executive Chairman and Group Managing Director of LHN Group says, “LHN is excited to join the vibrant civic & community at Armenian Street with the acquisition of Wilmer Place. Wilmer Place’s distinctive location and rich heritage will bring a new dimension to our Coliwoo co-living collection. We look forward to weave our dynamic community into the vibrant tapestry of this locale, enriching its cultural landscape while honouring its history.’’

 

Sophia Lim, Director, Investment Sales & Capital Markets at Savills Singapore, said: “Savills is pleased to have executed the sale of Wilmer Place via a low-key private treaty and create a win-win outcome for both parties. The building is situated within the civic & cultural precinct of Armenian Street that is steeped in cultural history, and we look forward to its exciting transformation that will take place in the near future.”

10 players in the construction equipment industry, including manufacturers, rental companies and construction firms, have decided to structure their grouping by creating the Community of Sustainable Equipment Players (Communauté des Acteurs du Matériel Durable – CAMD). The Community, which grew out of the work and discussions held to date at the Sustainable Equipment Meetings, will be active all year round, to work in synergy with the trade federations to accelerate the environmental transformation of the construction equipment industry.

 

The Community aims to pool the efforts, knowledge, best practices and skills of the various players involved, and to raise awareness among private and institutional stakeholders of the essential role played by site equipment in accelerating the sustainable and responsible transformation of the building and civil engineering sector, and more broadly, of local life.

 

Determined to successfully transform the construction equipment sector into a sustainable one, 10 volunteer companies from the sector (Bouygues Construction, Colas, Eiffage, Haulotte, JCB, Kiloutou, Manitou Group, NGE, Salti and Volvo) have met several times over the past year to work on structuring the Community of Sustainable Equipment Players.

 

The CAMD has now been set up as a not-for-profit association under the French 1901 Act, with a collegiate governance structure representing the three core businesses of equipment manufacturers, hire companies and building and civil engineering contractors. A chairman, Olivier Colleau – also Chief Executive Officer of Kiloutou – and two vice-chairmen, Michel Denis and Patrick N’Kodia, respectively President & CEO of Manitou Group and Director of Transformation at Bouygues Construction, have been appointed.

 

CAMD will pursue five key objectives:

  • Provide practical solutions and support cross-sector projects
  • Build a knowledge base and a common decarbonisation trajectory
  • Raise the profile of the materials sector and its role in the transition of the construction industry
  • Defend, alongside the trade federations, the convictions of a sustainable industry
  • Foster a shared vision and ambition for decarbonising the industry.

 

These 5 key objectives will be monitored and implemented by an Operational Committee made up of representatives from the 10 member companies. Their role will be to identify and lead cross-functional projects focusing on the sector’s technological challenges (energy, power trains, carbon footprints and measurements) and regulatory developments (CSRD, European taxonomy, SBTi). In addition, the Operational Committee will be responsible for organising the CAMD’s major events, including the next Sustainable Equipment Meetings, to be held on 24 September 2024.

 

The CAMD is based on the pooling of efforts, skills and best practices to accelerate the environmental transformation of the industry, a cross-disciplinary approach that complements the work carried out by the trade federations. The common knowledge base resulting from the studies, work and projects commissioned by the CAMD is a real lever for efficiency and accelerating the transformation. It is therefore intended to be shared with current and future members of the CAMD to feed their individual and common roadmaps for the decarbonisation of the sector.
