History
In 2000, Pidemco Land and DBS Land merged to form CapitaLand Group Pte. Ltd.[4]
On 19 November 2002, CapitaLand Ascendas REIT (CLAR) was listed on SGX-ST. Formerly known as Ascendas Real Estate Investment Trust, CLAR is Singapore's first and largest listed business space and industrial REIT.
In 2017, CapitaLand came into controversy when the company attempted to evict the Franses Art Gallery from the Cavendish Hotel in London. CapitaLand acquired the property in August 2012.[5] The case would go to the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom, which ruled against CapitaLand and upheld Franses Art Gallery's request for a new 15-year lease.[6]
