CICT to acquire two Grade A offices in Australia for S$330.7m

The acquisition is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2021.

CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust (CICT) has entered into a unit sale agreement with CLA Real Estate Holdings Pte. Ltd. to acquire two Grade A offices in Australia for an aggregate purchase consideration of S$330.7m (A$330.7m).

The two buildings which CICT will acquire are the 24-storey 66 Goulburn Street and 23-storey 100 Arthur Street, which are both located in the central business districts (CBD) of Sydney.

The acquisition is expected to be complete in the first quarter of 2022.

Teo Swee Lian, chairman of CICT Management Limited (CICTML)—the Trust’s manager—said the purchase of the two properties will allow CICT to gain a foothold in Australia, one of Asia Pacific’s largest developed markets, and open the company to more opportunities to drive growth.

Lian said the addition of the two properties in CICT’s portfolio is also in line with the Trust’s sustainability commitment.

Both 66 Goulburn Street and 23-storey 100 Arthur Street have National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS) ratings. The former has a 5.5-Star NABERS Energy and 4.5-Star NABERS Water rating, while the latter was rated 4-Star NABERS Energy and 4.5-Star NABERS Water.

Post-acquisition, the two properties will also increase CICTs overall portfolio poverty value by approximately 3% to S$22.4b, and their overseas portfolio exposure to about 7% from 4%, according to Tony Tan, CEO of CICTML.

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.
