History

[edit]

1963–1996: Foundation, establishment of The Centrepoint, IPO, and acquisition by Fraser and Neave

[edit]
Interior of Centrepoint Shopping Centre in 2006.

The company that would later be known as Frasers Property was incorporated in 1963 as Cold Storage Limited,[1] a market and retail chain.[2] The first property it developed was a shopping centre known as The Centrepoint located on Singapore's Orchard Road. Construction on that development started in 1980 and was completed in 1983.[3][4] In the early 1980s, the firm began divesting its non-property assets.[1] In 1987, Fraser and Neave and Goodman Fielder Wattie took control of Cold Storage Holdings,[2] the holding group for Cold Storage's food manufacturing, retail, and property arms.[5] In 1988, the property arm of Cold Storage became Centrepoint Properties Limited (CPL) and also started trading on the Singapore Exchange (SGX).[1] In 1990, CPL became a member of Fraser and Neave after restructuring. At the time of the acquisition, CPL's sole function was as the owner and operator of The Centrepoint mall,[2] and its executive director was G.H. Darwin.[3]

In the following years, the company added to its portfolio, opening another shopping complex, Northpoint, in Singapore[6] and acquiring a Sydney, Australia-based shopping mall, Bridgepoint.[7] In 1994, CPL opened and began managing its first residential project with The Anchorage, a condominium complex at the location of a former Anchor Brewery in Singapore.[8] In 1996, it broke ground on its first commercial project in Vietnam called, Me Linh Point, in Ho Chi Minh City.[9] The 21-storey retail and commercial tower was completed in 1999.[10]

In 1996, G.H. Darwin retired as executive director and was replaced by Jeffrey Heng, who assumed the role of CEO.[11] Under Heng, Centrepoint expanded into hospitality with the hotel brands, Fraser Place and Fraser Suites. In 1998, Fraser Suites Singapore and Fraser Place Robertson Walk were the first of F&N's serviced residence properties. The company subsequently opened locations in the UK, South Korea, and the Philippines.[12] The company also ventured into the United Kingdom for the first time in 2000 with the Annandale House residential development. Its first development in China came with the JingAn Four Seasons in Shanghai in 2001.[13]

1996–2013: Further expansion, delisting from SGX, and establishment of REITs

[edit]

In 2002, Centrepoint Properties became a wholly owned subsidiary of Fraser and Neave,[14] which privatized it by delisting it from the SGX.[1] Lim Ee Seng was named CEO of Centrepoint Properties in 2004.[15] Two years later, the company was rebranded as Frasers Centrepoint Limited (FCL).[1] It also developed its first Real estate investment trust (REIT) with Frasers Centrepoint Trust (FCT). The FCT launched with a listing on the main board of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (SGX-ST). In 2008, Fraser and Neave acquired a 17.7% stake in the Allco Commercial REIT. It was later rebranded as the Frasers Commercial Trust (FCOT) and placed under the structure of FCL. Between 2005 and 2014, FCL's assets increased from just over $5 billion to $16.89 billion (SGD).[2][15]

In 2013, FCL's parent company, Fraser and Neave, was acquired by Thai Chinese billionaire Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi's TCC Group for $11 billion.[16] In August of that year, it was announced that Fraser and Neave would spin off FCL as its own separate listing on the Singapore Exchange through an in specie distribution of stock, effectively making the property group an independent entity under the broader TCC Group umbrella.[17]

2014–2017: Acquisition by TCC Group, relisting on SGX, and expansion into Australia and Europe

[edit]

It officially commenced trading on the main board of the SGX-ST on January 9, 2014,[18] after a nearly 12-year absence. In June 2014, FCL launched the Frasers Hospitality Trust (FHT), a stapled trust with a focus on its hospitality business. It is listed on the SGX-ST.[19] Another REIT, the Frasers Logistics and Industrial Trust (FLT), was launched on the SGX-ST in June 2016. In July 2014, Frasers Centrepoint acquired Australand, an Australia-based property group, for $2.6 billion (AUD).[20] Australand was rebranded to Frasers Property Australia in August 2015.[21] In 2016, the company acquired a stake in the Stock Exchange of Thailand-listed development company, Golden Land.[22][23]

In October 2016, Panote Sirivadhanabhakdi took over as the group's CEO, replacing the retiring Lim Ee Seng who had held the role for 12 years.[24] Sirivadhanabhakdi had previously been the CEO of the Thailand-based Univentures Public Company and a non-executive and non-independent director of Frasers Centrepoint.[25] In April 2017, it was announced that Frasers Centrepoint (in collaboration with the TCC Group) was planning the largest mixed-use development in Thailand known as One Bangkok. Due to be completed in 2025, the 16.7 hectare integrated district will feature residences, hotels, office space, and shopping malls.[26]

Later that month, the group acquired an 86.56% stake in Geneba Properties NV, a real estate investment company based in Amsterdam.[27] It continued adding to its European portfolio with acquisitions of two warehouse facilities in Germany in October 2017, four business parks in the U.K. in November 2017, and the German commercial, logistics, and manufacturing developer Alpha Industrial in February 2018.[28]

2018–present: Rebrand as Frasers Property and further acquisitions

[edit]

In February 2018, the company officially changed its name from Frasers Centrepoint Limited to Frasers Property Limited. Many of its business units outside of Singapore had been using the "Frasers Property" name for several years.[29] Later in February, the Frasers Property Group acquired an additional 26.1% stake in Thai-listed developer, TICON Industrial Connection Public Company, in which it already owned a 40.95% share. The sale triggered a tender offer for the remaining ordinary shares of TICON.[30] TICON was later renamed Frasers Property Thailand in 2019 with Golden Land Development Company as a subsidiary[31]

In May 2018, the group partnered with Singaporean sovereign wealth fund, GIC, and coworking company, JustCo, to invest $177 million in creating a Southeast Asian coworking platform.[32] That month, it also acquired a 75% stake in Vietnam-based Phu An Khang Real Estate for $18 million.[33] In February 2019, the company entered into a conditional sale and purchase agreement for a 17.8% stake in PGIM Real Estate Asia Retail Fund Limited (PGIM Real Estate) for $356.4 million.[34] In July 2019, the company announced that it would be merging its Australian and European industrial and logistics operations along with the assets and property management functions of the Frasers Logistics and Industrial Trust. The company announced it would create a new strategic business unit, Frasers Property Industrial, beginning in 2020.[35]

History

Origins and early development (1924–1999)

Frasers Property's roots trace back to , where T.M. Burke Pty Ltd was incorporated in August 1924 by real estate entrepreneur Thomas Michael Burke. Founded amid post-World War I recovery, the company specialized in subdividing land for , targeting servicemen and families with flexible payment terms such as nominal deposits and monthly installments of £1. Early projects like Merrivale Garden Suburb in emphasized access to transit, schools, and green spaces, establishing a model for community-focused development that later influenced Frasers Property's approach. In Singapore, the company's precursor emerged with Cold Storage, founded on 8 June 1903 as a retail and market chain. By the late 1970s, Cold Storage expanded into property development to support its operations, marking a shift from pure retailing to integrated real estate. This evolution culminated in 1980 with the launch of The Centrepoint project, a landmark 7-storey shopping and residential complex at 176 Orchard Road, completed in 1983 with 30,866 square meters of lettable area and serving as a cornerstone of Singapore's retail landscape. The property arm formalized its growth through an in December 1988, listing as Centrepoint Properties Limited (CPL) on the Main Board of the (SGX-ST). CPL quickly advanced its portfolio with key projects, including the completion of Alexandra Point in October 1992—a 24-storey freehold building at 438 Alexandra Road offering 18,523 square meters of lettable space—and the opening of Northpoint in December 1992, Singapore's pioneering suburban retail mall in that integrated retail and residential elements. In July 1992, CPL was acquired by , Limited (F&N), becoming a and integrating into the conglomerate's diversified portfolio. Under F&N, CPL concentrated on developing retail and commercial properties in prime locations, leveraging its early successes to build a foundation for broader real estate operations.

Expansion and restructuring (2000–2013)

In the early 2000s, Frasers Property began its international expansion beyond , marking a shift from primarily domestic retail developments to a more diversified global portfolio. In March 2000, the company entered the Australian market by acquiring its first site in , which was developed into the Pavilions on the Bay residential project, establishing an initial foothold in overseas property development. Concurrently, in February 2000, Frasers Hospitality launched its first serviced residence brands in with Fraser Suites and Fraser Place, building on earlier hospitality initiatives to tap into the growing demand for serviced apartments in . These moves laid the groundwork for further regional growth, including expansions into the in July 2001 with the Annandale House development and into in September 2001 via the Jingan Four Seasons residential project in . By mid-decade, Frasers Property underwent significant rebranding and structural changes to support its evolving . In May 2006, the company rebranded from Centrepoint Properties Limited to Frasers Centrepoint Limited (FCL), reflecting its broader scope in investment and development. This coincided with the launch of its inaugural (REIT), Frasers Centrepoint Trust (FCT), which was listed on the (SGX-ST) in July 2006 and focused on income-producing retail properties to enhance portfolio stability and returns. Shortly thereafter, in 2008, FCL acquired a controlling stake in Allco Commercial REIT, rebranding it as Frasers Commercial Trust (FCOT) in October, thereby diversifying into commercial assets. These REIT initiatives represented a strategic pivot from a retail-centric focus toward a balanced mix of types, including commercial and segments. Hospitality operations continued to expand across Southeast Asia during this period, with Frasers Hospitality entering Vietnam in July 2009 through the launch of the Modena by Fraser brand and initial projects in Ho Chi Minh City, alongside further developments in markets like Malaysia and Indonesia. This growth complemented earlier forays, such as the 2002 opening of Fraser Suites Kensington in the UK, and helped build a regional network of serviced residences. Amid these expansions, internal restructuring efforts intensified, particularly within the Fraser and Neave (F&N) Group, FCL's parent. In 2002, F&N privatized and delisted Centrepoint Properties from the SGX, fully integrating it as a subsidiary to streamline operations. By January 2007, F&N executed a key restructuring via its subsidiary Frasers (UK) Pte Ltd, consolidating UK property assets to optimize international holdings and support mixed-use developments. These developments from 2000 to 2013 transformed Frasers Property's portfolio, growing it to encompass mixed-use projects across , , and , while the introduction of REITs provided a mechanism for sustainable income generation and reduced reliance on cyclical development activities. The period's focus on diversification positioned the company for broader global ambitions, with assets spanning residential, retail, commercial, and sectors by 2013.

Global acquisitions and rebranding (2014–2019)

In 2010, TCC Group, led by Thai billionaire , began acquiring a significant stake in (F&N), which held a in Frasers Centrepoint Limited, marking the start of TCC's influence over the company's strategic direction. By 2013, TCC had secured majority control of F&N, paving the way for Frasers Centrepoint's delisting from the (SGX) in October 2013 and subsequent relisting in July 2014 under TCC's oversight, enabling a renewed focus on international growth. A pivotal move came in July 2014 when Frasers Centrepoint acquired Australand Property Group, a leading Australian developer, for A$2.6 billion, significantly expanding its footprint in residential, commercial, and industrial sectors . This acquisition integrated Australand's A$9.3 billion development pipeline and A$2.3 billion in existing properties, enhancing Frasers' presence in high-growth markets like and . In August 2015, Australand was rebranded as Frasers Property , aligning it with the group's emerging global identity and completing the operational merger with Frasers' pre-existing Australian operations. The period saw a strategic pivot toward industrial and assets, exemplified by the June 2016 launch of Frasers Logistics & Industrial Trust (FLT) on the SGX, raising S$903 million through an to acquire and manage a portfolio of warehouses and distribution centers across , the , and . This initiative underscored a broader emphasis on stable, income-generating properties amid rising demand. European expansion accelerated in 2017 with the acquisition of four major UK business parks—Winnersh Triangle, Farnborough Business Park, Chineham Park, and Watchmoor Park—for £725 million (approximately S$1.2 billion), adding over 2 million square meters of office and industrial space in . Later that year, Frasers acquired a 99.45% stake in Dutch developer Geneba Properties N.V., bolstering its continental European residential and holdings. In February 2018, Frasers Centrepoint underwent a comprehensive rebranding to Frasers Property Limited, reflecting its multinational scope across , , and , with the name change effective from February 1 and maintaining its SGX listing. Concurrently, entry into intensified through a with TCC Assets, acquiring a 26.1% stake in TICON Industrial Connection Limited for approximately S$358 million, merging it with existing Thai operations to create a leading industrial estate platform with over 100 properties. This was followed in July 2018 by the purchase of Alpha Industrial GmbH & Co. KG and 11 logistics assets in and , further solidifying the European industrial portfolio under the new Frasers Property branding. By 2019, these acquisitions drove a strategic shift toward a and focus, with Frasers integrating its Australian, European, and Singaporean operations into a unified platform valued at over S$5.4 billion, emphasizing built-to-suit facilities and long-term leases to capitalize on . Post-acquisition integrations streamlined management, with the Australand portfolio fully absorbed into Frasers Property by 2016 and European assets consolidated under centralized oversight, enhancing operational efficiencies and asset diversification across 20 cities. This era transformed Frasers from a regionally focused developer into a diversified multinational entity, with industrial and assets comprising a growing share of its S$28 billion portfolio.
