    • The 999-year leasehold tenure of 21 Collyer Quay is an attraction, but not vital for CICT. The building is leased to WeWork.

    SOME observers in property circles have noted that CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust (CICT) seems to be in a hurry to divest some assets.

    Last week, The Business Times reported that an expression-of-interest (EOI) exercise closed in the fourth quarter of 2023 for the 299-unit Citadines Raffles Place, which is in the CapitaSpring building at Market Street that was completed a couple of years ago.

    Now, word in the market is that a separate low-key EOI exercise is set to close next week for Bukit Panjang Plaza, a suburban mall which the real estate investment trust (Reit) has held for some time.
