Using an expression of interest (EOI), City Developments Ltd: C09 +0.95% is selling off a portfolio of 62 freehold strata industrial units in the Citilink Warehouse Complex.
Properties like Dunman Grand and Dunman Grand Balance Unit Chart are listed at an approximate price of S$103 million, or around S$997 per square foot of available stratum space.
Block 102E has 62 apartments with floor plans ranging in size from 947.2 square feet (sq ft) to 2,884.7 sq ft, for a total stratum area of about 103,301 sq ft. Cushman & Wakefield, the complex’s sole marketing agency, said on Thursday (April 20) that the apartments accounted for around 34% of the development.
To the west of the PSA Pasir Panjang Terminals is the twin-building, eight-story Citilink Warehouse Complex. It has many tenants and is located in the “Business 1” zone of the Urban Redevelopment Authority’s Master Plan for 2019.
According to CDL’s 2022 annual report, the company’s industrial portfolio includes 62 of the 180 strata-titled apartments at Citilink. The Business Times has learned that these same flats are available for sale.
In its interim results for the half-year ended June 30, 2022, CDL reported a gain of S$27.3 million from the sale of its Tagore 23 Warehouse, a freehold warehouse in Tagore Lane.
According to Shaun Poh, executive director of capital markets at Cushman & Wakefield, the future redevelopment potential of the Citilink sites may be bolstered by the redevelopment of the present ports into the future Greater Southern Waterfront and its transformative influence.
“The potential buyer also enjoys the flexibility to exit the investment via bulk and/or individual strata sale,” he said.
The deadline to submit an EOI for the property is May 25 at 3 p.m.
