PRESS RELEASE
February 23, 2011
A NEW WORLD-CLASS ICON IN SINGAPORE
WHITE SITE AT TANJONG PAGAR

Signing of Building Agreement with
the Government of Singapore

1. GuocoLand’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Perfect Eagle Pte Ltd, Guston Pte Ltd and  Belmeth Pte Ltd, which were awarded the tender for the Tanjong  Pagar white site at Peck Seah / Choon Guan Street in November 2010, have  signed the Building Agreement with the Government of Singapore.

2. The land parcel will be transformed into an exciting world-class development  featuring over a million square feet of central Grade A office space, together  with quality hotel and retail components, and potentially being Singapore’s  tallest ever residences which will reach a height of 280 metres above mean  sea level or an equivalent of approximately 78 storeys. The Group’s future  commercial and residential development will have a total gross floor area of  approximately 1.7 million square feet  which will fully integrate with the adjoining Tanjong Pagar MRT station. This large-scale development will also form an integral part of Tanjong Pagar as a live-work-play precinct, in line with  Singapore being a leading global financial and business hub.    

3. The purchase price for the 99-year leasehold site is $1,708,080,000 or $1,006  per square foot per plot ratio. The land parcel occupies a unique prime location in the heart of the city centre at Tanjong Pagar, the southern gateway  to Singapore’s Central Business District (“CBD”). The culturally-rich Tanjong  Pagar precinct is a well-established commercial hub with a ready catchment  of retail, food and beverage, lifestyle and entertainment offerings at Duxton  Hill and the historic district of Chinatown.
