CapitaLand popularised active capital recycling within the real estate industry, sparking imitation from other developers and real estate funds. Nevertheless, with its six separately listed REITs and more than 20 private funds, CapitaLand is in a much better position to manage its overall capital base by actively buying and selling its assets to deliver sustainable returns to shareholders.
Homegrown property giant CapitaLand is the overall winner in the real estate industry sector. From its roots as a statutory board’s department and a bank’s development arm, CapitaLand has grown to become one of Asia’s largest diversified real estate groups.
As at 30 Sept, it owns and manages a global portfolio worth about $133.3 billion, consisting of real estate classes ranging from commercial, retail, business park, industrial and logistics; as well as lodging and residential. Its two core markets are Singapore and China but it is present in over 30 countries including India, Vietnam, Australia, Europe and the US as well.
