Hongkong Land to launch $8b Singapore private real estate fund

The Central Private Real Estate Fund will solely focus on managing prime commercial property.

Hongkong Land Holdings Limited (Hongkong Land) is set to launch the Singapore Central Private Real Estate Fund (SCPREF), its first private real estate fund that is expected to have $8b of assets under management (AUM) upon inception.

SCPREF is expected to be the largest private real estate fund in the city-state. The fund will be solely focused on managing prime commercial property assets here, Hongkong Land said in a bourse filing.

SCPREF is expected to be seeded by Hongkong Land’s Singapore commercial portfolio and other assets acquired by the fund on inception and over time, it added.

Meanwhile, Hongkong Land offered its 33% interests in One Raffles Quay, Marina Bay Financial Centre Towers 1 and 2, and Marina Bay Financial Centre Tower 3 (MBFC 3) to its existing joint venture partners ORL and Keppel REIT, respectively.

Keppel REIT has agreed to acquire Hongkong Land’s interest in MBFC T3, based on an attributable property value of approximately $1.5b, according to the filing.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up 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. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

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