HongkongLand USD shares fell 3.24% during trading on Friday, following the company's announcement that its Singapore Central Private Real Estate Fund will acquire the Wheelock Place development on Singapore's Orchard Road for S$1.1 billion ($852.71 million).

The deal, reported on Thursday, will see the property purchased from Wharf Real Estate Investment. The acquisition marks a significant investment in Singapore's prime retail and office real estate market, but the market reaction suggests investors may have concerns about the price tag or the impact on the company's balance sheet.
