Global investment management firm BlackRock has sold prime office building Asia Square Tower 1 for $3.4 billion. According to JLL, this marks the largest ever single-tower sale in Asia Pacific so far this year. It is also the second-largest single-tower real estate transaction globally

The 43-storey building was bought by the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA). Current tenants of Asia Square Tower 1 include financial services companies Citibank and Julius Baer as well as insurance firm Marsh & McLennan.
