SPH buys six aged care assets in Canada for $244.5m

This marks the company’s entry to the North American market.

Times Properties, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Singapore Press Holdings (SPH), has entered into an agreement with affiliates of Columbia Pacific Advisors to acquire a portfolio of six aged care assets in Canada for $244.5m (C$232.9m), said in its bourse filing.

These assets comprise five properties in Ontario and one in Saskatchewan. In total, there are 717 suites with an average age of around 7 years. The properties are in the business of providing living accommodation and services to seniors.

This follows SPH’s earlier acquisition of five senior independent living assets in Japan.

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.
