Sabana REIT's Tuas Avenue property deal called off

Its buyer, Kim Soon Lee (Lim) Heavy Transport, will be given a refund of $1.12m.

Sabana Real Estate Investment Management has received a notice of rescission to rescind the sale purachase agreement (SPA) from the purchaser of its Tuas Avenue site, Kim Soon Lee (Lim) Heavy Transport.

Following receipt of the notice, HSBC Institutional Trust Services (Singapore) Limited, as a trustee of Sabana REIT, shall refund to the purchaser the aggregate cash deposit of $1.12m, equivalent to 10.0% of the sale consideration with GST.

Last 25 March, Sabana REIT announced that Kim Soon Lee (Lim) Heavy Transport, has not yet received approvals from JTC.

This is further to the announcement dated 28 September 2018 when Sabana REIT entered into a conditional sale and purchase agreement for the proposed divestment of 1 Tuas Avenue 4 with Kim Soon Lee (Lim) Heavy Transport Pte. Ltd. for the sum of $11.18m.

The sale consideration is 52% below the property’s current book value of $23.3m as at 30 June 2018. The divestment was expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of the financial year ended 31 December 2018.

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.
