77 Robinson Road, a 35-storey office tower in the CBD, has been put up for sale via expression of interest. The seller is the former SEB Asset Management, which was acquired by Savills Investment Management earlier this year. Savills Investment Management was formerly known as Cordea Savills.
The property has a total net lettable area (NLA) of approximately 293,818 sq ft, including 6,018 sq ft of retail space on street level and 180 car park lots. It sits on a site with 99-year leasehold tenure from February 19, 1994, resulting in a balance lease of 77.5 years. Major tenants in the building include Adidas Singapore, Bunge Agribusiness, Dentsu Asia, DVB Bank, Tokio Marine Life Insurance and Walt Disney Studios Sony Pictures Releasing.
Market sources say the indicative price is in the region of $650 million or $2,200 psf of its NLA. Last year, Keppel Land and its fund management arm Alpha Investment Partners sold Equity Plaza on Cecil Street for $2,181 psf to Sam Goi-controlled GSH Corporation. Equity Plaza has 99-year leasehold tenure from December 7, 1989.
