Who owns Cpf Building, and what is it valued at?

Key takeawayCapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust holds a 70% interest in Cpf Building. The figures below come from its own SGX filings, each with its date. A valuation is an independent valuer's opinion for the owner's accounts, not a sale price.

Source: the owners' own filings on SGX — notices of valuation of real assets, acquisition and divestment announcements, and annual reports. Facts only, each with its date; a valuation is not a sale price, and occupancy and WALE are as of the date shown. Only REITs and SGX-listed companies file these: a building with a private owner shows no owner here.

What do commercial rents run near Cpf Building?

Key takeawayURA publishes contracted-rent percentile grids quarterly (latest: 2026Q3) — the benchmark evidence an asking rent should be weighed against.

Indicative area yield — District 1 retail

Gross yield (area)
3.4%
3.0% net of property tax
Rent side (median of bands)
$107.81 psm/mo
2026Q3
Price side (strata, 5y)
$3,561 psf
90 sales

An INDICATIVE AREA yield for District 1 retail — NOT this building's yield, and not any unit's. Commercial rents are published as a district percentile grid, so both halves describe the district.

Priced on STRATA sales only: rent is quoted per unit of lettable area, and commercial land PSF runs far above strata — mixing them would shift the ratio sharply.

Net deducts the 10% non-residential property tax ONLY — not vacancy, maintenance, agent fees, financing, or the 9% GST on purchase.
