Atrium@Orchard Put Up For Sale

Source : Channel NewsAsia, 14 January, 2008

The Atrium@Orchard is up for sale. The Singapore Land Authority says the property will be put on a fresh 99-year lease.

The sale will be made through an expression of interest (EOI).

CB Richard Ellis, which is handling the EOI, says it expects to receive bids above $2,700 per square foot.

It notes that there is pent-up demand for grade A office assets from foreign and local investors, and that the absence of new office supply coming up in Orchard Road will fuel rental growth.

Completed in 2002, the Atrium@Orchard comprises two office towers - of seven and 10 storeys - with ground-floor retail space.

It sits on a land area of 9,575 square metres with a net floor area of 34,620 square metres.

Anchor tenants include Temasek Holdings, Barclays Capital and MTV Asia.

The EOI closes at 4pm on February 22. - CNA/ir
