<h3><a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/lhn-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:27234" rel="noopener">LHN Ltd (LHN SP)</a> JV acquires Balestier hotel for S$15m; Another expansion on its Co-living business (BUY; TP S$0.42/share)</h3>LHN’s Coliwoo and Four Star have formed a JV to acquire Balestier Hotel for S$15m and intended to run and operate it as a Co-living hotel. 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.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. LHN is trading at an attractive 4.4x FY21E P/E and ~4.5% yield.
