A consortium comprising GuocoLand's subsidiary based in Singapore, Intrepid Investments, and CSC Land Group emerged victorious in the tender for a prime land parcel located at Tengah Garden Avenue, Singapore. The consortium acquired the plot for Singapore USD 675 million (approximately USD 496.43 million), as disclosed by the real estate group on Tuesday.
