MGM Mirage, Las Vegas Strip’s largest casino owner, is
planning to enter India with non-gaming brands, Bellagio and
MGM Grand. Bellagio is positioned as a high-end luxury brand
while MGM Grand is positioned slightly lower. The group has
mentioned that it is looking at cities such as Delhi,
Mumbai, Hyderabad and leisure destinations such as Goa,
Rajasthan and Kerala to establish these brands. The group is
likely to keep its investments minimal by managing the
proposed hotels instead of owning them. |

Softened Local Conditions |

Osaka-based Daiwa House Industry (Daiwa), Japan’s largest
property developer by sales, is planning to expand in China
and Vietnam as demand for new homes in Japan is expected to
soften in the short term. High unemployment and declining
wages have been cited as two of the main reasons for the
falling demand. As a result, Daiwa is planning to commit
approximately US$330 million for housing developments in
Dalian and Suzhou in eastern China and a joint venture with
China’s Baoye Group in Zhejiang Province. |
