GIC buys 25.1% stake in Lendlease's Sydney unit

The transaction is expected to fully close in Q3.

Singapore's sovereign wealth fund GIC will acquire a 25.1% stake in Lendlease International Towers Sydney Trust (LLITST) from Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and Lendlease, an announcement revealed.

Counting premium grade office towers in its portfolio, LLITST holds assets located in the Barangaroo Office Precinct in the Sydney Central Business District (CBD). The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and expected to fully close in Q3.

The announcement comes after GIC divested an undisclosed stake in a $1.67b Sydney office property Chifley Tower. It was sold to Australian property investment group Charter Hall through a joint venture agreement.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
