7.2 Sales Sales performance can be boosted again by winning the right to host the 2022 World Cup Lusail City Sales Key Plan • Sales Strategy Overview • The sales strategy that is being implemented at Lusail City by LREDC consists of a series of key sales initiatives that when implemented will restart the stalled sales process. The methodology is to carefully manage existing and potential customers in order to project the most favorable message. Ultimately, the objective is to make Lusail City the first choice for investors in the region. The Following is recommended. • Price re-valuation for Unsold Districts and Plots • Larger grace periods • Packaged bank facilities (LOW Interest Rates) • Catalyst Fund • Payment terms and re-scheduling over longer periods, even • extending after construction completion period. • Signing MOUs with Local banks or financial institutions that can • provide construction financing for developers • Mortgage facility to end users. • offering a list of pre-qualified and approved Grade (A and B) list of contractors from which any developer can choose from. • Sales Updates • Currently LREDC is still in possession of a substantial proportion of unsold plots. Key to remedying this situation will be a calculated and realistic strategy to achieving the required plot sales in the post financial crisis investment environment. One possible solution would be to propose favourable sales conditions for unsold plots to existing investors, potentially using relaxations on their current SPA as an incentive.
7.2 Sales Un-sold/available plots report It should be noted that current sales activity within the Lusail City development is limited to managing existing SPAs /investors. It is important to note that no change in sales status have been recorded within this quarter. Available as districts Available as individual plots Definitions: Cancelled – SPA signed but terminated and now back on the market Unsold – Has never been sold Blocked - Held by LREDC to be developed in house
7.2 Sales Lusail Plots Delinquency report • Delinquent payments to LREDC represent a substantial proportion and must be viewed as a key risk to the developments success. • The total of outstanding payments is QR2.77 billion • As some of the plots in default of their SPAs are strategically important it may be advisable for LREDC to consider implementing drastic solutions at an early stage. • The implementation of solutions such as providing or underwriting development finance, entering into JVs with distressed developers or in key instances developing the plot in house could send a favourable message into the market. • It should be noted that in the majority of cases post dated cheques (PDC) exist and as such LREDC has a strong legal position. • In a few cases no PDCs exist and these investors represent a much greater risk in terms of totally defaulting on the terms of their SPAs. • It seems advisable that LREDC focus their attention on remedying the defaults from investors with no PDCs in order to reduce the overall default risk.
