CapitaLand Investment closes CLARA II fund at $849.5m

CLI said the fund aims to transform underutilised assets by partnering with best-in-class operators.

CapitaLand Investment Limited (CLI) announced the final close of its CapitaLand Ascott Residence Asia Fund II (CLARA II), raising over $849.5m (US$650m) in total equity commitments and co-investments.

The fund exceeded its original $784.2m (US$600m) target and is expected to add approximately $2.1b (US$1.6b) to CLI’s funds under management.

According to CLI, CLARA II is backed by a mix of new and returning institutional, pension, and financial investors from Asia, Europe, and North America. The company retains a 20% sponsor stake in the fund.

CLI said the fund aims to transform underutilised assets by partnering with best-in-class operators, including its own lodging arm, The Ascott Limited.

About half of the fund’s equity has already been deployed across three assets: lyf Shibuya Tokyo and Citadines Shinjuku Tower Tokyo in Japan, and lyf Bugis Singapore.

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.
