Lush AcresSingapore-based property developer City Developments Limited (CDL) revealed a strong set of financial results of Q2 2016, going against the existing trend of numerous peers who have falling revenues and profits due to depressing macroeconomic challenges of Singapore and overseas.

For yearly basis, CDL net profit climbed by 0.2% to $133.8 million for the second quarter, while revenue jumped by 32.4% to $1.1 billion from the same period last year.

The company attributed the better-than-expected results to profit and revenue recognition form Lush Acres EC, a fully-sold 99-year Leasehold executive condominium (EC), with TOP issuance in second quarter.
