It is set to be CapitaLand’s primary investment vehicle for commercial real estate in Singapore.

CapitaLand Mall Trust (CMT) and CapitaLand Commercial Trust (CCT) will form a merger to create the commercial REIT CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust (CICT), a news release revealed.

The consideration per CCT unit comprises 0.720 new CMT units and $0.259 in cash, implying a gross exchange ratio of 0.820.

CapitaLand will retain its sponsor stake of approximately 29.1%3 in the merged entity.The group will now have a total of three S-REITs with global or developed market mandates listed on SGX, including Ascendas Real Estate Investment Trust (Ascendas Reit) and Ascott Residence Trust (ART).

CICT will be CapitaLand’s primary investment vehicle for commercial real estate in Singapore and other developed markets, whilst Ascendas India Trust, CapitaLand Retail China Trust and CapitaLand Malaysia Mall Trust will continue to be its specialist investment vehicles in India, China and Malaysia, respectively.

CICT brings together CMT’s portfolio of 15 downtown and suburban malls in Singapore with CCT’s portfolio of eight Singaporean and two German prime offices. Around 96% of its asset value is located in the Lion City.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up 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. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
