Wheelock Place renamed Landmark Orchard after S$1.4 billion acquisition
Hongkong Land is taking the Landmark name beyond Hong Kong for the first time and plans improvements to the Orchard Road building.
The Landmark name has made its Singapore debut with the renaming of Wheelock Place on Nov 12, Hongkong Land announced. The change comes three months after the group’s Singapore Central Private Real Estate Fund purchased the office and retail property on Orchard Road.
In July, the fund agreed to buy the building for about US$1.1 billion (S$1.4 billion) from an entity owned by Wharf Real Estate Investment Company, which is listed in Hong Kong. The deal marked the fund’s first acquisition after launching in February 2026.
Now called Landmark Orchard, the 21-storey building has occupied its Orchard Road location for more than 30 years and connects directly to Orchard MRT station. Current office and shop tenants will remain in operation. Hongkong Land plans improvements but has not outlined what they would involve.
The acquisition takes the fund beyond its original Central Business District holdings: Asia Square Tower 1, Marina Bay Financial Centre Towers 1 and 2, One Raffles Quay and One Raffles Link. Hongkong Land manages the fund and holds the largest stake in it.
