The said mall is operated by Lotte Shopping Co. With the aquisition, it will be managed by IGIS Asset Management, one of the country’s largest real estate management companies with a good track record of managing retail assets.
GIC Real Estate Chief Investment Officer Lee Kok Sun said G-Square is in line with the group’s strategy of acquiring income-generating assets.
