Ascendas REIT to acquire Philips APAC Center for $104.8m

More than two-thirds of the property’s gross floor area will be leased to Philipps.

Ascendas REIT has proposed to acquire Philips APAC Center at 622 Lorong 1 Toa Payoh for $104.8m.

The purchase of the property will be funded through the REIT’s internal resources and/or existing debt facilities.

As of 30 June, the property is leased to four tenants and has an occupancy rate of 95.7% and a long WALE of 4.5 years.

After the acquisition, more than two-thirds of the property’s gross floor area (GFA) will be leased back to Philipps, a health technology company listed in Amsterdam and New York. It will serve as the company’s APAC headquarters with a focus on its healthcare and technology business.

Ascendas REIT said it also plans to attain a BCA Green Mark GoldPlus certification for the property after completion of its acquisition.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
