Mapletree Industrial Trust awards S$127.1m Kallang contract to Lum Chang
CONSTRUCTION player Lum Chang Holdings on Monday said it has secured a tender for an industrial project at Kallang Way, which is part of the Geylang planning area.
The contract, valued at about S$127.1 million, is to be executed with DBS Trustee as trustee of Mapletree Industrial Trust (MIT).
The project is scheduled to be completed over 21 months. Its scope of works includes the construction of two multi-user general industrial buildings.
The contract commencement date is slated for late November 2020.
With the latest award, the total outstanding value of construction works yet to be reported as revenue for Lum Chang's wholly-owned subsidiary Lum Chang Building Contractors amounts to about S$1.9 billion.
Earnings from the contract will be recognised progressively according to the stages of its completion, said the mainboard-listed company.
