Lendlease to sell Jem office segment to Keppel

The net cash proceeds from the divestment are estimated to be $459.4m.

Lendlease Global Commercial REIT will be divesting its Jem office component to Keppel's Sustainable Urban Renewal (SUR) for $462m.

The company believes the divestment will improve its financial position, support the REIT’s potential portfolio growth, and increase its focus on Singapore retail.

The net cash proceeds from the divestment are estimated to be $459.4m, resulting in an estimated net cash gain over the cost of investment of $8.9m.

The group intends to use net proceeds to repay certain loans, which is expected to reduce its aggregate leverage ratio to approximately 35% on a pro forma basis.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
