CapitaLand completes buy for Temasek's Ascendas-Singbridge

The group is now one of the region’s largest real estate groups with over $123b of AUM.

CapitaLand has completed its transaction with Temasek and acquired all the issued shares of each of Ascendas and Singbridge, creating one of Asia’s largest diversified real estate groups with over $123b of assets under management (AUM), an announcement revealed.

The transaction was said to have received “overwhelming approval by CapitaLand’s independent shareholders” at an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) held in April.

CapitaLand first announced its intention to buy 100% of Temasek’s shares in urban solutions provider Ascendas-Singbridge for $6.04b in early April, which is expected to add an additional 41% of assets for the group and boost its worth to $42b.

With the completion of the transaction, the enlarged CapitaLand group will operate as a unified entity from 1 July. The group’s enhanced real estate value chain and enlarged global network comprising commercial and retail, business parks, industrial and logistics, integrated development, urban development, residential, as well as fund and asset management businesses reportedly now spans over 30 countries across more than 200 cities.

According to Lee Chee Koon, CEO of CapitaLand, the enlarged group will possess fully integrated capabilities in four core markets – Singapore, China, India and Vietnam, whilst building greater scale in developed markets.

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.
