The new fund is a ten-year closed private fund with an equity of $39.6 million. It currently holds ICON Yeoksam, a mid-sized office building in the Gangnam Business District of Seoul. The 15-storey ICON Yeoksam has a gross floor area of 210,736 sq ft and comes with 74 car park lots. It was completed in October and was acquired for $124.3 million on Nov 20.
The building has attracted numerous blue-chip companies seeking to set up offices there, says William Tay, CEO of Korea operations at Ascendas-Singbridge.
