    THE Singapore retail strata market seems to be buzzing more. Recent deals include the S$64 million sale of Sceneca Square mall being built next to Tanah Merah MRT station, and the S$8.7 million sale of a retail unit at The 101 in Beach Road owned by convicted money launderer Su Haijin.

    The single-storey Sceneca Square is being bought by 8M Real Estate, a Singapore property investment group owned by Hong Kong-based Crane Capital, a unit of US pension fund Washington State Investment Board.

    Set up in 2014, 8M Real Estate is a major owner of conservation shophouses in Singapore.
