Wheelock Place renamed Landmark Orchard after $1.4b acquisition by Hongkong Land
The new name will take effect on Nov 12.
Singapore's Wheelock Place has been renamed Landmark Orchard, marking Hongkong Land's first use of the Landmark name outside Hong Kong. The change officially took effect on November 12, three months after the property was purchased by Hongkong Land’s Singapore Central Private Real Estate Fund. The unit acquired the Orchard Road property for approximately US$1.1 billion, which equates to S$1.4 billion. The deal was the fund's maiden acquisition since its inception in February 2026.
The 21-storey building, situated in Orchard Road for over three decades, serves as a hub for both office and retail tenants and is connected to the Orchard MRT station. Existing tenants are set to continue operating under the new name. Hongkong Land stated that it plans to enhance the property, although specifics were not provided.
In Hong Kong, Landmark is a key component of the group's Central portfolio, which is undergoing a major revamp through a programme surpassing US$1 billion. Foo Pei Teng, chief executive of the Singapore fund, mentioned that the group will apply its long-term investment strategy to Landmark Orchard. The purchase broadens the fund's footprint in Orchard Road, extending beyond its initial holdings in the Central Business District, which include Asia Square Tower 1, Marina Bay Financial Centre Towers 1 and 2, One Raffles Quay, and One Raffles Link. The fund aims to manage about $15 billion in assets.
Hongkong Land oversees the fund and holds the largest share of its units.
