Indonesian tycoon inks deal to buy Straits Trading Building for $560m

The deal works out to $3,520 psf.

The Straits Trading Building will be sold to Indonesian magnate Tahir for a total consideration of $560m.

In a statement to the SGX, Tahir's investment holding company MYP Ltd. said that the tycoon has signed a letter of offer to acquire the building, and has paid 1% of the purchase consideration as deposit.

The Straits Trading Building will be sold by Sun Venture Group, which acquired the building in September 2014 for $450 million.

With the building's net lettable area (NLA) of 158,897 square feet, the purchase consideration works out to roughly $3,520 psf.

MYP said that the proposed acquisition will be funded by a combination of internal resources, bank borrowings and/or fund raising in the capital markets.

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.
