MAPLETREE Commercial Trust (MCT) is proposing to buy a business park in Pasir Panjang at an agreed property value of S$1.55 billion from Heliconia Realty, a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of its sponsor Mapletree Investments.
If completed, this could count as one of the largest acquisitions by a Singapore real estate investment trust (S-Reit) this year. S-Reits have in recent weeks been on an acquisition binge with billion-dollar purchases, amid a lower-for-longer interest rate environment.
