Singapore’s largest developer <a style="color: #000080;" href="http://www.dealstreetasia.com/?s=CapitaLand" target="_blank">CapitaLand</a> is in exclusive talks to acquire the Asia Square Tower 2 in Singapore’s Marina Bay from top global asset manager <a style="color: #000080;" href="http://www.dealstreetasia.com/?s=BlackRock" target="_blank">BlackRock Real Estate Fund III</a>, the Mingtiandi reported.
Pegged at $2.34 billion, the 46-storey tower stands on 1,220,000 square foot (113,350 square metre). It is on the block for $1,922 per square foot, which includes both 72,845 square metres (784,097 square feet) of prime office space and the five-star Westin hotel, Mingtiandi noted, citing details from PERE.
The price per square foot, if finalised, would be 1.5 per cent higher than what Asia Square 1 sold for in June 2016 to the Qatar Investment Authority. The first tower has 43 floors and 2 million square feet of office space.
CapitaLand in 2015 attempted to buy Asia Square Tower 1 in partnership with Norway’s sovereign wealth fund but negotiations fell through in the same year.
The Asia Square Tower 1 was l<a href="http://www.dealstreetasia.com/stories/blackrock-agrees-sell-singapore-office-tower-qatar-fund-2-5b-43237/" target="_blank">ater on sold for $2.45 billion in June 2016 </a>to the Qatar Investment Authority, a deal tagged as the largest single-tower real estate transaction in Asia Pacific last year.
The Asia Square complex was acquired by BlackRock in 2013 when it bought Singapore-based private equity real estate firm MGPA.
