The deal, which would set up a private trust, a trustee-manager and a property manager, allows CAG to be the majority investor with 51% and unit-holder of the JV units, while CapitaMalls Asia will own the remaining 49%.
Designed by a consortium including Safdie Architects, Benoy and local architects RSP, the much-touted $1.47bn Project Jewel is anticipated to be iconic showpiece of the airport upon its commissioning in 2018.
Spanning nearly 377,000ft², Project Jewel will be built on the surface car park site facing Changi Airport Terminal 1 (T1) and will have an overall floor area of around 134,000m².
The new complex, which will incorporate five storeys above ground level and five basement storeys, will sport a dome-shaped facade made of glass and steel.
