Paragon REIT to divest The Rail Mall for $78.5m

Proceeds from the sale will be used for debt reduction, potential acquisitions, and property improvements. 

Paragon REIT Management Pte. Ltd. (Paragon RM), the manager of Paragon REIT, has announced the divestment of The Rail Mall for a cash consideration of $78.5m. 

The divestment was finalised through a sale and purchase agreement. It was negotiated on a willing buyer willing seller basis, factoring in various key elements such as the projected net property income, the current retail market conditions, and the property yield outlook.

Proceeds from the sale will primarily go towards debt reduction, potential acquisitions, and property improvements. 

Despite this, Paragon REIT anticipates minimal impact on its financial metrics for the year ending 31 December.

The divestment is set for completion in the second half of fiscal year 2024.

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.
