The 90 strata lots at 1 Jelebu Road fetched a premium price in a willing buyer and seller transaction.
CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust Management Limited has announced the sale of Bukit Panjang Plaza for $428.0m.
In a bourse filing, the manager of CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust (CICT) said that HSBC Institutional Trust Services (Singapore) Limited, in its capacity as trustee of CICT has agreed with an unrelated third party for the sale of 90 strata lots in the said property at 1 Jelebu Road.
