SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - CapitaLand will sell The Star Vista to Rock Productions, owner of The Star Performing Arts Centre, for $296 million, the property group announced on Nov 20.
The divestment is targeted to be completed by end-2019, and is expected to generate net proceeds of about $145 million, and a net gain of about $32 million for CapitaLand. Based on the latest independent valuation as at June 30, The Star Vista was valued at $262 million.
“The divestment of The Star Vista is in line with CapitaLand’s active and disciplined asset recycling strategy. Year to date, CapitaLand has divested close to $5.7 billion worth of assets, exceeding our annual target divestment of $3 billion,” says Jason Leow, president, Singapore & International, Capitaland Group.

The Star Vista is right next to Buona Vista MRT Interchange Station on the Circle and East-West Lines. It is part of a 15-storey integrated development, which includes a 5,000-seat auditorium.
Opened in September 2012, the mall comprises three levels of retail space, with a net lettable area of about 162,500 sq ft.
The mall registered an occupancy of 95% as at June 30, 2019. Main tenants include Beauty in the Pot and LeNu, Canton Paradise Teahouse, Redman by Phoon Huat, Swee Lee and Cold Storage.
