  "account": "On November 12, 2026, Hongkong Land announced that Wheelock Place in Singapore would be renamed Landmark Orchard. The 21-storey building, located in Orchard for over three decades, was purchased by Hongkong Land's Singapore Central Private Real Estate Fund (SCPREF) for US$1 billion (S$1.28 billion) back in August 2026. This was SCPREF's first acquisition since its inception in February 2026. The renaming of Landmark Orchard marks the first instance of using the Landmark name outside of Hong Kong. SCPREF plans to expand and improve the property, leveraging its expertise in managing premium commercial properties throughout Asia. Landmark Orchard is a mixed-use commercial property, featuring office and retail spaces, and maintains direct access to the Orchard MRT station. The property will continue to serve its existing tenants under its new name from November 12, 2026.",
