CICT acquires full ownership of CapitaSpring for $1.045b

DPU expected to rise 1.1%.

CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust (CICT) has acquired the remaining 55% stake in the commercial component of CapitaSpring for $1.045b, gaining full ownership of the Grade A office tower in Raffles Place.

CICT entered into unit purchase agreements with CapitaLand Development (CLD) and Mitsubishi Estate Co., Ltd (MEC) to acquire their respective 45% and 10% interests. The agreed property value is based on two independent valuations and reflects CICT’s continued push to strengthen its core portfolio in Singapore.

The acquisition is expected to deliver a 1.1% increase in distribution per unit (DPU) on a pro forma basis, assuming full ownership from 1 January to 30 June 2025.

CapitaSpring, which was redeveloped from a former multi-storey car park, is currently fully occupied and houses major tenants including JPMorgan Chase, Millennium Capital Management, and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation.

The total acquisition outlay amounts to approximately $482.3m. CICT plans to fund the purchase through a private placement, with part of the acquisition fee for CLD’s 45% stake to be paid in CICT units.

Following the transaction, CICT’s aggregate leverage is expected to rise slightly from 37.9% to 38.3%. The acquisition will also increase CICT’s Singapore portfolio exposure from 94% to 95%.

The deal is classified as an interested person transaction under SGX rules due to CLD’s involvement but does not require unitholder approval.

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.
