CapitaLand Investment secures initial $222m for China business park fund

CBPF III is expected to boost CLI’s funds under management by $370M when fully deployed.

CapitaLand Investment Limited (CLI) has announced the initial close of its sixth onshore renminbi (RMB) fund, China Business Park RMB Fund III (CBPF III), with $222m (RMB1.2b) in equity.

The fund will focus on investing in business parks across China.

The closed-end fund has secured a major institutional investor as its anchor. When fully deployed, CBPF III is expected to increase CLI’s funds under management (FUM) by $370m (RMB2b). CLI will maintain a sponsor stake in the fund to align with investors and partners.

CLI will recapitalise Ascendas iHub Suzhou by transferring it as a seed asset to CBPF III for $259m (RMB1.4b). CLI will continue to manage the property, contributing to its recurring income.

Ascendas iHub Suzhou, located in the Dushu Lake Science & Education Innovation District of Suzhou Industrial Park, has been operational since 2011.

The property, which includes four mid-rise and 11 low-rise buildings totaling 170,800 square meters, is well-equipped with amenities and near Suzhou Metro Line 2. It holds a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold certification.

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.
