CapitaLand Ascendas REIT (CLAR) will expand its footprint in the one-north district with the acquisition of Seagate’s research and development facility at 26 Ayer Rajah Crescent.

In a bourse filing, CLAR said it will purchase the property for $218.24m.

Post-acquisition, CLAR’s footprint in the one-north district will increase by 13%  to $1.9b assets under management (AUM) and by 21% to 2.5 million sq ft net lettable area (NLA).

Other assets of CLAR in the one-north district are Nexus @one-north, Galaxis, Grab Headquarters, Neuros & Immunos, and Nucleos.
