[SINGAPORE] A wholly owned subsidiary of property player Centurion Corporation has purchased a 65 per cent stake in Manna 777 Properties for S$4.8 million.

Manna 777 Properties owns a plot of freehold land at 7 Kim Chuan Lane, which spans 975.9 square metres and is near Tai Seng MRT station as well as ComfortDelGro Driving Centre.

In a bourse filing on Friday (Feb 13), Centurion Corp said the sellers are investment holding company ACKC Hesed and real estate developer Mulberry Land.

The aim of the venture is to develop and operate a purpose-built workers accommodation on the site, Centurion Corp said.
