    Leong to build $900m hotel complex
 
   TANGLIN & TOMLINSON
 Tycoon Kwek Leng Beng's Hong Leong group
    will jointly develop a $900 million project comprising a six-star hotel and
    255 luxury homes.
     The integrated development will be the
    first of its kind in Singapore - and the 299-room hotel is likely to charge
    the island's most expensive room rates, at 8-10 per cent above the current
    peak. The project - on a 180,000 sq ft
    999-year-leasehold site at Tanglin and Tomlinson roads - is expected to be
    completed in late 2007.
