HongkongLand USD (H78.SI) surged 3.17% during intraday trading on Friday, driven by the company's announcement of its upcoming Singapore Central Private Real Estate Fund (SCPREF) launch and a strategic asset sale.
The fund, expected to hold over S$8 billion in assets under management, will focus on prime commercial properties in Singapore, including HongkongLand's existing interests in One Raffles Quay and Marina Bay Financial Centre Towers. The company also disclosed the sale of its 33⅓% stake in Marina Bay Financial Centre Tower 3 to Keppel REIT for S$1.5 billion, marking progress toward its capital recycling target. These developments underscore HongkongLand's strategy to expand third-party asset management and reinvest in premium properties.
