    A SALE of Citadines Raffles Place serviced apartments seems to be in the offing, with BlackRock said to have completed due diligence for a potential acquisition. The Business Times understands that the pricing is about S$300 million or slightly over S$1 million per unit.

    The 299-unit Citadines Raffles Place is within the CapitaSpring building, which is on a site in Market Street with a 99-year leasehold tenure that began on Feb 1, 1982; this leaves about 56.5 years on the lease.

    CapitaSpring is owned by a 45:45:10 joint venture involving CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust (CICT), CapitaLand Development and Mitsubishi Estate Co.
