CICT solidifies position as Singapore's largest retail landlord with 50% ION Orchard stake acquisition

The company’s total portfolio value will increase to $26.4b from $24.5b.

CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust's (CICT) acquisition of a 50% stake in the ION Orchard Mall will solidify its retail presence downtown, reinforcing its position as the largest retail landlord in Singapore according to S&P Global Ratings.

The property has a high occupancy rate of 96% as of June 30, 2024. Upon deal completion, the REIT's retail properties along Orchard Road will account for 25% of its total retail leasing area. Its total portfolio value will increase to $26.4b from $24.5b.

ION Orchard will also allow CICT to ride a tourism recovery in Singapore. This is because the property is located at a major transportation node on Orchard Road. It is also a premier destination mall, with retailers purveying items from luxury to essential.

International tourist arrivals in Singapore in the year to July 2024 increased by 27% from the same period in 2023.

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.
