CapitaLand Retail China divests Wuhan mall, three premises for $52.6m

The company is said to be facing operational challenges in the past years.

CapitaLand Retail China has announced a deal to sell real estate in Wuhan, China for $52.6m to an unrelated third party.

It is selling its mall CapitaMall Minzhongleyuan and three sets of vacant premises to the third party, which has also agreed to pay approximately $40.8m to cover a shareholder loan and entrustment loans.

“The property was facing operational challenges in the past few years due to the changes in its environment, including roadworks in its surroundings and resettlement in its immediate catchment,” it said.

The $46.8m estimated net proceeds of the divestment may be used to repay debt, finance any capital expenditure and asset enhancement works, capital distribution, fund new acquisitions, and/or finance general corporate and working capital requirements, according to the manager.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
