Ascendas REIT to acquire Philips APAC Center for $104.8m

More than two-thirds of the property’s gross floor area will be leased to Philipps.

Ascendas REIT has proposed to acquire Philips APAC Center at 622 Lorong 1 Toa Payoh for $104.8m.

The purchase of the property will be funded through the REIT’s internal resources and/or existing debt facilities.

As of 30 June, the property is leased to four tenants and has an occupancy rate of 95.7% and a long WALE of 4.5 years.

After the acquisition, more than two-thirds of the property’s gross floor area (GFA) will be leased back to Philipps, a health technology company listed in Amsterdam and New York. It will serve as the company’s APAC headquarters with a focus on its healthcare and technology business.

Ascendas REIT said it also plans to attain a BCA Green Mark GoldPlus certification for the property after completion of its acquisition.

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.
