Keppel-KBS US REIT announced it would acquire Maitland Promenade I which is an office property located in the Maitland submarket of Orlando, Florida for $66.67m (US$48.5m) from real estate investment firm The Realty Associates Fund X.

Maitland Promenade I will be Keppel-KBS US REIT’s second asset in Florida and is adjacent to Maitland Promenade II which the REIT also owns, the announcement revealed.

“The addition of Maitland Promenade I extends Keppel-KBS US REIT’s foothold in the strong Maitland office submarket, highly sought after by technology, finance and insurance comapnies for its excellent amenities and good infrastructure,” Keppel-KBS US REIT CEO and CIO David Snyder said.

The development has a net lettable area of 230,371 sqft with a committed occupancy rate of 98.1% as of October 2018, according to the firm. In addition, the property provides easy access to the Orlando International Airport, the Central Business District (CBD) and residential areas in the nearby Winter Park.

The addition of Maitland Promenade I which will be completed in January 2019 will strengthen the firm’s overall portfolio, bringing total assets under management to $1.44b (US$1.04b) from $1.14b (US$826m).

Keppel-KBS US REIT is managed by Keppel-KBS US REIT Management which is jointly owned by Keppel Capital Holdings and KBS Pacific Advisors (KPA).

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.
