Dubai’s Limitless Appetite for SE Asia
October 18th, 2007

According to a report in The Shanghai Daily, Limitless — Dubai World’s property arm — agreed to buy a 30-percent stake in PT Bakrie Swasakti Utama, a unit of Indonesia’s biggest property developer PT Bakrieland Development for approximately two trillion rupiah (US$220 million).

“…The stake will help Limitless expand in southeast Asia’s largest economy, which will grow as much as 6.8 percent next year, according to government forecasts. The two companies will develop Bakrieland’s Rasuna Epicentrum project in central Jakarta, which Limitless can help market to overseas investors.

…The investment in Indonesia will be Limitless’ second foray into the region. In September it announced it will develop a US$220 million residential and tourism project in Vietnam.”
