Paragon REIT to divest The Rail Mall for $78.5m

Proceeds from the sale will be used for debt reduction, potential acquisitions, and property improvements. 

Paragon REIT Management Pte. Ltd. (Paragon RM), the manager of Paragon REIT, has announced the divestment of The Rail Mall for a cash consideration of $78.5m. 

The divestment was finalised through a sale and purchase agreement. It was negotiated on a willing buyer willing seller basis, factoring in various key elements such as the projected net property income, the current retail market conditions, and the property yield outlook.

Proceeds from the sale will primarily go towards debt reduction, potential acquisitions, and property improvements. 

Despite this, Paragon REIT anticipates minimal impact on its financial metrics for the year ending 31 December.

The divestment is set for completion in the second half of fiscal year 2024.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
