SINGAPORE (Dec 11): Development 24, a property development and investment holding property that is 48%-, 42%- and 10%-owned by KSH Holdings, Lian Beng Group and Heeton Holdings, respectively, has exercised an option to purchase a group of freehold properties along Geylang Lorong 24 for a consideration of $60 million.
