SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - Ho Bee Land, on March 15, announced that it has disposed of its properties at 12 Tannery Road and 31 Tannery Lane for a total consideration of $115 million. The properties, known as HB Centre I and HB Centre II respectively, are located off MacPherson Road in District 13.
The group had entered into a sale and purchase agreement (SPA) with an unrelated third party on March 7 to dispose of its properties. The purchaser has since paid $11.5 million or 10% of the consideration and the balance will be paid upon the completion of the disposal.
The transaction turned unconditional after the conditions of the disposal were satisfied on March 14. The completion is expected to take place on or before June 27.
