Hongkong Land Launches Singapore’s Largest Private Office Fund and Expands Share Buybacks

The latest update is out from Hongkong Land Holdings ( (GB:HKLD) ).

Hongkong Land has launched the Singapore Central Private Real Estate Fund (SCPREF), its inaugural private real estate vehicle and Singapore’s largest office-focused private commercial fund, with S$8.2 billion (US$6.4 billion) in assets under management at inception. Structured as a perpetual open-end core fund, SCPREF recycles capital from Hongkong Land’s prime Singapore assets into an ultra-premium, Grade A office portfolio centred in the Marina Bay and Raffles Place districts, and is backed by founding investors including Qatar Investment Authority, APG Asset Management and an established Southeast Asian sovereign wealth fund.

The fund’s initial portfolio comprises Asia Square Tower 1, stakes in Marina Bay Financial Centre Towers 1 and 2 and Marina Bay Link Mall, One Raffles Quay, and full ownership of One Raffles Link, representing 2.6 million square feet of net lettable area and targeting growth to at least S$15 billion in gross asset value. SCPREF marks the formal launch of Hongkong Land’s capital management business and a key step towards its ambition of reaching US$100 billion in assets under management by 2035, while reinforcing its positioning as a leading steward of ultra-premium, sustainability-certified office assets in Asian gateway cities. The transaction, together with the sale of Marina Bay Financial Centre Tower 3, has generated US$1.3 billion of new recycled capital, lifting total recycling since 2024 to US$3.4 billion and enabling an expansion of the company’s share buyback programme by US$300 million to US$650 million through June 2027, as it seeks to enhance shareholder returns and strengthen its balance sheet. SCPREF’s strong ESG profile and support from global sovereign wealth and pension funds underscore the international appeal of Singapore’s prime office market and are expected to provide resilient fee income and a deep pipeline of long-term institutional capital for future growth.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:HKLD) stock is a Buy with a $7.70 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Hongkong Land Holdings stock, see the GB:HKLD Stock Forecast page.
