ARA, Chelsfield acquire $385.8m green loan for 5One Central

The green loan came from DBS and UOB.

ARA Asset Management Limited (ARA) and Chelsfield have secured a $385.8m green loan from DBS Bank and United Overseas Bank Limited (UOB) for the acquisition and asset enhancement of their joint venture 5One Central.

The loan is issued under the green loan framework developed by both companies, in line with their commitment to developing and designing buildings that achieve the highest standard of sustainability.

5One Central is expected to receive the Green Mark Platinum certification by the Building and Construction Authority once the asset enhancement is completed in the second half of 2021.

The building will also boast several green features, including CO2 sensors to regulate fresh air supply, occupancy sensors to optimize lighting usage, paper and plastic recycling facilities, electric vehicle charging facility and a high efficiency variable and constant air-distribution system.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
