CapitaLand Limited ("CapitaLand") wishes to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary, CapitaLand Commercial Project Services Pte. Ltd., has been appointed by M+S Pte. Ltd., a 60:40 joint venture between entities designated by Khazanah National Berhad and Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited ("Temasek"), to oversee the development of the Ophir-Rochor site in Singapore (the "Appointment").
