The collective sale committee (CSC) for the project was designated in August 2021 and has ever since been working to get the required authorization from most of owners. “I think it’s likely we’ll be obtaining the 80% authorization eventually,” says Ken Lim, chairman of the CSC. The proposed reservation rate for the intended collective sale, formerly evaluated $84 million, has been revised to $98 million.
Lim indicates that Wintech Centre is already commencing to receive interest on top of the collective sale debut. “We’ve got several queries from certain investors, consisting of a REIT fund,” he discloses. He checks out the existing setting as a suitable time to launch the sale, especially coming off the current property cooling steps that happed into impact last December. “Provided [the measures], we think additional need will be seen for industrial properties,” he states.
