Apr, 20 2026 – CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust (CICT) said it has agreed to acquire a 100% interest in Paragon, a freehold retail, office and medical complex on Orchard Road, for 3.9 billion Singapore dollars from Cuscaden Peak.

The trust will partly fund the purchase with proceeds from the divestment of the leasehold Asia Square Tower 2, which it has agreed to sell to IOI Marina View for 2.5 billion Singapore dollars. Paragon’s entry yield is 3.9%, compared with an exit yield of 3.0% for Asia Square Tower 2.

CICT expects the transaction to lift distribution per unit by 2.1% and leave pro-forma aggregate leverage at 39.2%, below the 50% regulatory ceiling.

The Asia Square Tower 2 sale represents a 9.9% premium to its 31 Dec 2025 valuation of 2.3 billion Singapore dollars and is slated to close in 2H 2026, subject to purchaser shareholder approval and tax clearance.

To finance the deal, CICT plans to use debt, net proceeds from a private placement launched on Apr, 20 2026 targeting at least 600 million Singapore dollars, and the Asia Square Tower 2 sale proceeds. A bridging loan will be arranged if the Paragon purchase completes before the office divestment. The acquisition fee will be paid in CICT units.

Paragon spans 94,411 sq m of gross floor area, offers 714,915 sq ft of net lettable space across retail, medical and office components, and was fully occupied as of Jan, 31 2026.
