CapitaMall Xinduxin

CapitaLand Investment has closed its second sub-fund, China Retail RMB Fund I, under its RMB Master Fund with CapitaMall Xinduxin (Image 1) as the seed asset. The total fund size is RMB1 billion (S$183 million).

Singapore, 11 December 2025 - CapitaLand Investment Limited (CLI), a leading global real asset manager, has closed its second onshore sub-fund, China Retail RMB Fund I (CRF I), under the CLI RMB Master Fund.  In addition to the equity commitment from the Master Fund, CLI has secured several onshore institutional investors, bringing the total fund size to RMB1 billion (S$183 million).  CRF I is expected to add RMB1.48 billion (S$271 million) to CLI’s funds under management (FUM) when fully deployed.  With this close, CLI has raised nearly RMB55 billion (S$10 billion) of domestic capital across nine onshore funds since 2021, reflecting the depth of investor demand and CLI’s proven ability to scale through trusted partnerships and disciplined execution.

CLI will recapitalise CapitaMall Xinduxin by realising value through its sale as the seed asset to CRF I. Located in Qingdao’s Shibei District, CapitaMall Xinduxin is a prime retail asset with a gross floor area of 141,000 square metres and a committed occupancy of approximately 99.6%. The shopping mall is directly connected to Qingdao’s subway line 3 and is the highest-quality, best-operated, and top-positioned shopping mall in the district. CLI will continue to manage the property and earn recurring fee income.

Since launching our RMB Master Fund in May, we have received strong investor endorsement with the close of two sub-funds in quick succession. CRF I offers investment opportunities in a well-located, quality retail asset with strong catchment, a curated tenant mix, and active asset management to capture growth. We will continue to leverage CLI’s deep market insights to build scalable platforms and deliver tailored fund solutions that align with investors’ risk-return expectations.

The recapitalisation of CapitaMall Xinduxin reflects our disciplined approach to recycling quality assets into RMB funds under our domestic-for-domestic strategy. Since the start of the year, we have recapitalised approximately RMB6.7 billion (S$1.2 billion) of assets in China, unlocking capital for reinvestment into new growth opportunities. CLI remains focused on expanding our RMB funds platform while driving capital efficiency and long-term value creation.

CLI’s first sub-fund under the Master Fund was the China Business Park RMB Fund IV, which closed in September 2025 with a total FUM of RMB1.74 billion (S$318 million) and Dalian Ascendas IT Park as its seed asset. CLI has a robust pipeline of retail, business park, logistics and rental housing assets across Tier one and top Tier two cities to support future sub-funds of the RMB Master Fund.
