Expansion & Identity
EXPANSION INTO PROPERTY
In late 1990, the Group ventured into property development and investment. Today, property development, property investment, property management and property-related activities form the core of the Group’s business.
The Group was a pioneer in developing 99-year leasehold condominiums in Singapore, primarily targeting local Housing Development Board (“HDB”) upgraders. Since then, it has successfully developed and sold 34 residential developments, delivering over 9,000 homes, and has established itself as a major developer in Singapore’s private residential property market.
A NEW IDENTITY
On 18 November 2002, the company adopted its current name, GuocoLand Limited, to better reflect its focus as a property company. The name change also aligns with that of its parent company, Guoco Group Limited, which is listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.
Today, GuocoLand is a major property company listed on the Main Board of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited.
In addition to Singapore, the Group also has a presence in China and Malaysia. GuocoLand (Malaysia) Berhad is listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad.
