Cushman & Wakefield brokers CapitaLand purchase of Beijing’s Suning Life Plaza
Last month, CapitaLand Investment (CLI) introduced the procurement of two assets in China through the CapitaLand China Opportunistic Partners Programme (CCOP Programme). The fund has boosted $1.1 billion in dedicated investment to buy special situation possibilities in China.
One of both assets gotten is Suning Life Plaza, an incorporated property in Beijing which was acquired by a single-asset fund within the CCOP Programme for $553 million. The offer was serviced by Cushman & Wakefield, who claims it marks the initial CBD commercial real estate transaction in China this year. “The offer is one of the opening by an international capitalist considering that the federal government began rolling back its strict anti-Covid-19 protocols in December,” claims the consultancy in a March 13 announcement.
Gordon Marsden, chief of capital markets Asia Pacific at Cushman & Wakefield, says that the offer reflects the ongoing attraction by investors in the Mainland China market. This remains in line with data from a recent survey conducted by the consultancy, which presents capitalist intentions continue to be concentrated on Tier 1 towns in Mainland China.

Suning Life Plaza is a 19-storey project with 566,182 sq ft of office as well as retail store net lettable place. “Complying with the acquisition, the fund will definitely restore a part of the industrial spot for office use. While investable properties in Beijing have actually traditionally been hard to find, Suning Life Plaza has actually become a very good possibility for asset updating along with improvement,” claims Charli Chan, Cushman & Wakefield’s managerial director of capital markets in China.
“While some international funding stays careful on China investments, there are numerous skilled, future capitalists that see the current financial problems as a window of possibility to invest in China while they deal with less competition from peers,” adds Catherine Chen, Cushman & Wakefield’s head of capital markets research, Greater China.
