Hongkong Land’s Singapore fund to acquire $1.1b Wheelock Place

SCPREF’s AUM to rise to $9.4b from $8.2b upon completion.

Hongkong Land’s Singapore Central Private Real Estate Fund (SCPREF) has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Wheelock Place on Orchard Road for approximately $1.1b (US$900m).

The property will be acquired from an entity owned by Hong Kong-listed Wharf Real Estate Investment Company Limited, according to a bourse filing.

The transaction is expected to be completed by the end of August. The purchase price is in line with a recent independent valuation.

The deal marks the fund’s first acquisition since its establishment in February.

Hongkong Land said after the deal’s completion, SCPREF’s assets under management are expected to rise to $9.4b from $8.2b at inception, closer to its target of $15b.

Wheelock Place comprises a 21-storey commercial building and two basement levels housing offices, a retail podium, and car parks.

The mixed-use property has a gross floor area of about 43,280 square metres.

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.
