    CAPITALAND Commercial Trust: Singapore's largest office real estate investment trust by value is selling an office tower in the central business district, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday.

    CapitaLand Commercial is seeking to sell the 23-story One George Street building in the Raffles Place office district, a source had said.

    The tower, bought in 2008 for S$1.17 billion, was valued at S$975 million as of Dec 31, 2014, the website stated.

    Lian Beng Group: The group has reported a 2.8 per cent year-on-year slip in net profit to S$22.9 million for the second quarter as at end-November 2015.

    The construction and civil engineering firm's revenue plunged 35 per cent to S$130 million, compared to S$200 million a year ago, in part due to a decrease in revenue from the construction and ready-mixed concrete segments.

    Its counter last traded unchanged at S$0.495 on Wednesday's close.
