Ascendas REIT to acquire Philips APAC Center for $104.8m

More than two-thirds of the property’s gross floor area will be leased to Philipps.

Ascendas REIT has proposed to acquire Philips APAC Center at 622 Lorong 1 Toa Payoh for $104.8m.

The purchase of the property will be funded through the REIT’s internal resources and/or existing debt facilities.

As of 30 June, the property is leased to four tenants and has an occupancy rate of 95.7% and a long WALE of 4.5 years.

After the acquisition, more than two-thirds of the property’s gross floor area (GFA) will be leased back to Philipps, a health technology company listed in Amsterdam and New York. It will serve as the company’s APAC headquarters with a focus on its healthcare and technology business.

Ascendas REIT said it also plans to attain a BCA Green Mark GoldPlus certification for the property after completion of its acquisition.

Acquisitions

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.
