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.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
