CapitaLand Investment declines to comment on rumoured merger with Mapletree

SINGAPORE: Rumours that two major local property management companies, CapitaLand Investment Limited and Mapletree Investments, were in merger discussions have been addressed following a statement from CapitaLand Investment Limited clarifying the situation.

In its official statement, CapitaLand Investment reaffirmed its commitment to delivering long-term value to shareholders, emphasising that it “regularly evaluates different investment options in order to achieve its strategic goals.”

Addressing the recent speculation, the company said it “would not comment on rumours and speculation” but stressed that it would make appropriate announcements in line with the Singapore Exchange’s listing rules should there be any material developments requiring disclosure.

The clarification comes after Dow Jones Newswires reported that CapitaLand, backed by Temasek Holdings, and Mapletree Investments, a wholly owned subsidiary of Temasek, were exploring the possibility of a merger.

Both companies are among Singapore’s most prominent property players, with significant portfolios across commercial, industrial, and residential sectors worldwide.
