    TECHNOLOGY giant The Bosch Group's appetite for investment in Asia has not been dampened despite a slump in its global sales as a result of the downturn.
    Mr Peksaglam said that the Asia-Pacific remained the strongest growth engine for the group and last year sales in this region grew 7 per cent to $16.4 billion.

    Bosch unveils new $21m R&D centre

    Despite slumping global sales, the group is positive that Asia will be key to its future growth By Jessica Cheam

    Despite slumping global sales, the group is positive that Asia will be key to its future growth

    Technology giant The Bosch Group’s appetite for investment in Asia has not been dampened despite a slump in its global sales as a result of the downturn.


    The privately owned group, which deals in automotive parts and consumer goods, yesterday took the wraps off a new $21 million research and development (R&D) centre in Singapore that will be the Asia-Pacific headquarters of newly acquired business software house Innovations Software Technology.
    Innovations Software offers enterprise solutions mainly for the financial services industry, but is set to enter the health care and energy management sectors with Bosch’s expertise, said Robert Bosch South-east Asia president and managing director Cem Pekaglam.
    This is the group’s third investment here in recent years. In 2007, it set up a centre for R&D for information technology with a rolling investment budget of $94 million to be spent by 2010.
    Last year, a $30 million corporate research and advance engineering facility housed at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) was established to conduct R&D in areas such solar energy.
    Innovation’s new R&D centre and sales headquarters will employ 70 staff within the next 5 years and will be located at Robert Bosch’s newly built $92 million headquarters at Bishan by October.
    The 223,000 sqft building will be consolidate Bosch’s 400 and growing Singaporean employees under one roof and can house more than 1,000 staff.
    The energy efficient site boasts an array of solar panels and automated window blinds that block out the sun’s heat.
    The building’s green features helped it win what is regarded as the highest green building accolade this month, the Platinum Green Mark, awarded by the Building and Construction Authority.
    Tough trading conditions forced The Bosch Group to report a 2.6 per cent drop in sales to 2.6 per cent drop in sales to Euro 45.1 billion (S$90 billion) for last year.
    But Mr Peksaglam said that the Asia-Pacific remained the strongest growth engine for the group and last year sales in this region grew 7 per cent to $16.4 billion. South-east Asia saw sales grow 5 per cent to hit $790 million.
    The firm spent a record $8.1 billion worldwide on R&D last year, of which 45 per cent went towards developing energy-efficient and environmentally friendly products. Almost a third of the group’s revenue comes from such products.
    Bosch, which has had a presence in Singapore since 1923, is currently working on developing organic photovoltaic cells with the NTU.
    This uses cheaper organic materials such as polymers in place of the costly silicon used in conventional solar products.
    Mr Peksaglam said yesterday that the group will continue to strengthen its foothold in the region, despite the gloomy outlook that might force Bosch into a loss this year, its first in 45 years.
    Despite the challenges ahead, Mr Peksaglam said there are no plans to lay off any of the firm’s 4,200 South-east Asian staff.

    Analysis point of view:

    Rafflesia is strategically located next to Bosch future $21 million R&D center. With the capacity to be able to house up 1000 staff in this regional office, this would apparently reveals that the chances of the tenancy would increase. The reason is because Rafflesia is strategically located next to the Bosch regional R&D centre. Marymount MRT is located next to The Bosch regional office, this would reveal that the traffic flow of the area would be bustling with traffic incoming from the different parts of Singapore. With Junction 8 as the closest shopping belt with cinema, eateries, bus interchange, this shows that the potential of high rental yield is obvious. Currently the rental yield for Rafflesia is higher than the normal performing rental rate in the market of 4%. Rafflesia is actually strategically parked at estimated. 4.25% better than the normal market rate.


    Summary

    -Rafflesia is strategically located next to Robert Bosch regional office.
    -$21 million Bosch Office in place.

    -Housed up to 1000 potential tenants for Rafflesia.
    -2 MRT (Marymount & Junction 8 interchange)
    -Highest condo in the estate

    Note:
    All the above analysis point of view are based on my personal analysis.

    17 July 2009, #15-09 1,324 sf @ $1,035 psf ($1,370,272).

    It seems that Far East is still advertising this project in the papers, until today!

    Wonder how many units they have left?
    Dun pray pray with FEO. They have the holding power.

    $1,035 psf is still lower than Centro and Trevista?

    Can this be considered as "Self-Induced Centro Effect"?

    After all, both Centro and Rafflesia are from Far East.

    What if Far East buys another site, e.g. the one next to Bishan MRT and then sells it at $2,000 psf?

    Will that cause another "Centro Effect"?

    Err ... "self-feeding spiral" or "SFS" effect?

    i.e. Sell Centro high so Rafflesia can sell high. Since Rafflesia is high, bid high for Bishan new site. Since bid for Bishan new site is high, sell new Bishan condo high. Since new Bishan condo high, Centro can sell high, Since Centro is high, Rafflesia can sell high. Since Raffles is high, new Bishan condo can sell high. Since .........

    I saw some units there beginning of this year. Owner only asking around $680 psf for some choice units. Did not buy because 12 years out of 99 years tenure already used up, MSCP, road noise very bad for those facing RI & right beside industrial buildings. But the landscaping is very nice & within walking distance to mrt.
