Frasers Property, controlled by Thai billionaire Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi, is deepening its retail footprint by acquiring a larger stake in Singapore's iconic The Centrepoint mall in a blockbuster $310 million (approx. KES 41bn) transaction.
The strategic acquisition consolidates Frasers' ownership of the premier retail complex located on Orchard Road, Singapore's most famous shopping strip, signaling a massive vote of confidence in the city-state's commercial property market.
This high-stakes real estate maneuvering offers a blueprint for East Africa's booming commercial sector.

The move also reflects a broader strategy among Asian billionaires to anchor their wealth in tangible, high-yield urban infrastructure that promises steady, long-term rental appreciation.
