What’s New
- CapitaLand Limited (CAPL) announced the sale of its 70% interest in Infinity Mall Trust (IMT) which holds Westgate mall located in the Jurong Lake District.
- The divestment price is based on an agreed market value of S$1,128m (S$2,746 psf) on a 100% basis which is within the range of two independent valuations of S$1,125m and S$1,130m conducted by Colliers International and Jones Lang LaSalle respectively. The 70% stake equates to a valuation of S$789.6m.
- The valuation of S$1,128m is higher than the latest valuation as at 30 June 2018 of S$991m (S$2,408 psf) on a 100% basis.
- The property will be divested at an exit yield of 4.3% NPI yield, which we believe to be fair given the robust transaction cap rates achieved for retail assets that were recently transacted.
