The office unit is on the third floor of the 27-storey commercial and residential development, which has a 99-year leasehold tenure commencing December 1980. The Riverwalk office property is owned by Thakral Realty (S).

In addition, Thakral Corp will purchase the entire shareholding of Thakral Realty (S), which has an outstanding loan of $21 million, for $9 million.
