One of the two facilities is the group’s largest to date, and will be used to refinance its latest integrated mixed development
GuocoLand has secured, under the group’s green finance framework, two green club facilities, worth about S$1.2 billion in total, from DBS and OCBC.
The first is a S$1.1 billion green facility for the refinancing of its latest integrated mixed development, Guoco Midtown. The other is a S$105 million green facility for the refinancing of the luxury residential development, Midtown Bay.
The S$1.1 billion green facility for Guoco Midtown is GuocoLand’s largest to date, said the real estate group in a bourse filing on Wednesday (Jan 15).
To date, the group has secured about S$5 billion of green financing.
These include green facilities for the commercial component of the integrated mixed development Guoco Tower and other developments including Lentor Mansion, Lentor Modern, Midtown Modern and the upcoming Upper Thomson Road development.
The group’s chief financial officer Andrew Chew said: “This latest refinancing activity allows us to optimise our capital structure while staying true to our commitment to creating thoughtfully designed spaces that balance economic, environmental and social factors.”
Shares of GuocoLand closed flat at S$1.45 on Wednesday, before the announcement.
