28th August | Hong Kong
Singapore property giant CapitaLand Group asset manager CapitaLand Investment ($10.6 billion market value) has received China regulatory approval for retail REIT IPO (CapitaLand Commercial C-REIT) in China on Shanghai Stock Exchange, and to raise $293 million (CNY 2.1 billion) in the IPO. In 2025 April, CapitaLand Investment filed for retail REIT (CapitaLand Commercial C-REIT) IPO in China on Shanghai Stock Exchange. CapitaLand Commercial C-REIT comprised of CapitaMall SKY+ in Guangzhou & CapitaMall Yuhuating in Changsha. CapitaLand was founded in 2000 with the merger of Pidemco Land & DBS Land. Announcement (17/4/25): “CapitaLand Investment Limited (CLI), a leading global real asset manager, today announced that it has applied for the registration and listing of its first real estate investment trust in China, to be named CapitaLand Commercial C-REIT (CLCR), with the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) and the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE). The listing would mark the first international-sponsored retail C-REIT and the first such C-REIT by a Singapore-based company once approved. This would increase funds under management of CLI’s listed funds platform, strengthening its leading position as Asia Pacific’s largest REIT sponsor-manager by market capitalisation. CLCR will invest in operating retail assets in China, benefiting from the Chinese government’s policies to stimulate domestic consumption. It will be seeded with two high-quality mature assets, CapitaMall SKY+ in Guangzhou and CapitaMall Yuhuating in Changsha. The properties have a combined value of approximately RMB2.8 billion and a total gross floor area of 168,405 square metres (sqm) with an aggregate committed occupancy of 97%. CapitaMall SKY+ is currently jointly owned by CLI and CapitaLand Development (CLD) while CapitaMall Yuhuating is under CapitaLand China Trust (CLCT). As strategic investors, CLI, CLCT and CLD will collectively hold at least a 20% interest in CLCR. As the sponsor as well as the asset manager of CLCR, CLI will continue to operate CapitaMall SKY+ and CapitaMall Yuhuating post-launch. Additionally, CLI will support the growth of CLCR and CLCT through its ability to offer a quality pipeline of potential assets. CLI manages 43 operational retail properties across 18 cities with total retail assets under management of approximately S$18 billion in China.”
