Hongkong Land’s Singapore fund to acquire $1.1b Wheelock Place

SCPREF’s AUM to rise to $9.4b from $8.2b upon completion.

Hongkong Land’s Singapore Central Private Real Estate Fund (SCPREF) has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Wheelock Place on Orchard Road for approximately $1.1b (US$900m).

The property will be acquired from an entity owned by Hong Kong-listed Wharf Real Estate Investment Company Limited, according to a bourse filing.

The transaction is expected to be completed by the end of August. The purchase price is in line with a recent independent valuation.

The deal marks the fund’s first acquisition since its establishment in February.

Hongkong Land said after the deal’s completion, SCPREF’s assets under management are expected to rise to $9.4b from $8.2b at inception, closer to its target of $15b.

Wheelock Place comprises a 21-storey commercial building and two basement levels housing offices, a retail podium, and car parks.

The mixed-use property has a gross floor area of about 43,280 square metres.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options 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. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
