The portfolio is being marketed by CBRE, who notes that the properties are currently tenanted by a diverse mix of occupiers.

He suggests that the incoming investor can consider refreshing the tenant mix, applying for strategic usage approvals, or refurbishing and increasing the existing floor area for certain assets within the portfolio, subject to approval from relevant authorities.
