A big chunk of this MYR13.6b GDV is derived from its three London projects (87%) namely London City Island Phase 2 (LCI 2), Embassy Gardens Phase 2 (EG 2), and Wardian London (WL) while the remaining is from its Australia projects - West Village (WV; in Sydney) and Yarra One (YO; in Melbourne). Its London projects are undertaken via joint venture with the Ballymore Group where EWI takes on the larger 75% stake. Its Sydney project is 100%-owned while its Melbourne project is 80%-owned (the remaining 20% is held by Salcon Berhad [SALC MK; Not Rated]).

EWI will also repay a sum (AUD14.1m) equivalent to 80% of the total advances owing by PropCo to Salcon Development. The total purchase is around AUD41-45m including the land cost, we understand. EWI will develop the 0.5-acre land into a residential-led mixed use development (called Yarra One) worth AUD218m (or MYR704m) in GDV. Yarra One was launched in May 2017 and will be completed by 2H20.

    Canary Wharf

    Canary Wharf UK Residential Research | May 2019 Canary Wharf is transforming from a primarily financial hub into a vibrant Central London mixed use neighbourhood. Crossrail will make a huge difference once it is fully operational and will make Canary Wharf more accessible and better connected than ever before. There are plenty of new developments under construction to cater for the first wave of new residents keen to take advantage of the enhanced connectivity, while the planning pipeline is ready for the next wave of Canary Wharf occupants. Many of the new inhabitants will be renters, such is the scale of multifamily development. The volume of new development over the next 5–10 years will mark a step change for Canary Wharf as a residential location. With an exciting future ahead, we expect both sales price and rental growth to be strong over the next five years.
