CapitaLand Commercial C-REIT gets approval for Shanghai listing

The listing is expected in Q4 2025.

CapitaLand Commercial C-REIT (CLCR) has secured approval from the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) to register for listing on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, making it China’s first international-sponsored retail C-REIT. The listing is expected in the fourth quarter of 2025.

CLCR is CLI’s eighth listed fund and marks its expansion into China, supporting CLI’s strategy to tap onshore capital and grow recurring fee income.

The REIT is projected to raise approximately $375m (RMB 2.1b) through the issuance of 400 million units.

CLCR will primarily invest in operational retail assets in China, benefiting from government policies aimed at stimulating domestic consumption.

Its initial portfolio includes two retail assets. CapitaMall SKY+ in Guangzhou, located in Baiyun CBD and connected to Baiyun Park subway station, serves a busy residential and commercial area. CapitaMall Yuhuating in Changsha, in Yuhua District, is accessible by two subway lines and a future Line 7 connection, serving a dense population of residents and office workers.

Combined, the assets cover 168,405 sq m with 96% occupancy as of 31 March 2025.

Strategic investors CLI, CLCT, and CLD will collectively hold at least a 20% stake in CLCR. CLI will continue managing both malls post-listing and leverage its experience to expand CLCR’s portfolio.

CLI, Asia Pacific’s largest REIT manager with $38b in market capitalisation, has over 30 years in China, managing 43 retail properties across 18 cities with total assets of S$18 billion.

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.
