    ANALYSTS on Thursday called CapitaLand's Shanghai office "asset swap" a clever move, as the property group is essentially unlocking value from a mature stabilised asset and simultaneously gaining entry into a newly- completed property of similar quality, but at lower price levels.

    CapitaLand on Thursday morning announced that it has agreed to buy Guozheng Center, a newly completed office development in Yangpu District, Shanghai, for 2.64 billion yuan (S$537.8 million).
