Singapore’s GIC to bag 25% CeGeREAL stake from Northwood

Each share is going for EUR35.65.

Through an affiliate, GIC, Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund, today inked a deal to buy a 25% stake in CeGeREAL at EUR35.65 per share from Northwood Investors LLC (Northwood).

According to the two parties’ joint announcement, Northwood’s entities will hold in concert 57.48% of CeGeREAL.

“As a long-term value investor, GIC is keen to build scale in the French real estate market,” commented Madeleine Cosgrave, Deputy Head of Real Estate, Europe at GIC.

“We believe this transaction represents a good opportunity to gain exposure to a high-quality portfolio and to support management in its vision to grow CeGeREAL into a larger office platform,” Cosgrave added.

The sale of the stake will be Northwood’s final step to ensure preservation of CeGeREAL’s SIIC status, which is a French, REIT-style tax regime.

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.
