CLAS boosts Singapore portfolio with $263m lyf Funan acquisition

The acquisition is yield-accretive.

CapitaLand Ascott Trust (CLAS) will acquire lyf Funan Singapore for $263m.

CLAS will acquire the property from Ascott Serviced Residence Global Fund (ASRGF), where the business trust's sponsor, The Ascott Limited, holds a 50% stake.

The acquisition is yield-accretive and expected to boost total distribution by $3.5m, delivering a 1.5% DPS accretion on a pro forma basis for FY 2023.

CLAS plans to fund the $146.4m purchase consideration with proceeds from the divestment of Citadines Mount Sophia Singapore, completed in March 2024.

Once the acquisition is completed, CLAS' Singapore assets will rise to five, boosting the proportion of its total assets in the country from 16% to 19%.

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.
