Source : Business Times - 16 Jul 2008

CapitaLand, Southeast Asia’s biggest property developer, said on Wednesday it had established a US$1 billion private equity fund in China to acquire property assets and to invest in new projects.

The fund has the option of a final closing by the end of December, which could boost its size to US$1.3 billion, it said in a statement.

CapitaLand, which would indirectly hold a 50 per cent stake in the fund, may reduce its stake to 45 per cent if there is strong investor demand, it said. — REUTERS
