DBS completes acquisition of stake in MBFC Tower 3

Aggregate consideration was S$1.035 billion.

DBS Bank acquired 30% equity stake in Central Boulevard Development to own a stake in Marina Bay Financial Centre Tower 3.

DBS, regarded as the anchor tenant at MBFC Tower 3, recently completed its move to the 46-storey international Grade A office building in October 2012 to occupy over 600,000 sq ft or 18 floors.

The bank entered into an agreement with Choicewide Group Limited, a joint venture of Cheung Kong (Holdings) Ltd and Hutchison Whampoa Limited, to purchase 30% equity stake in CBDPL and its associated loan for an aggregate consideration of S$1.035 billion.

Both parties also entered into a conditional put option agreement for DBS to take up Choicewide’s remaining 3⅓% equity stake in CBDPL and its associated loan for an estimated aggregate price of S$115 million.

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.
