Rajah & Tann Singapore has advised Midtown Properties, a unit of Worldwide Hotels Group, on its S$525 million ($389 million) acquisition of a hotel and a shopping arcade in the Little India district from the real estate developer UOL Group, which was represented by WongPartnership.

The sale of the Parkroyal on Kitchener Road – a 542-room hotel – and New Park Shopping Arcade is believed to be the largest single-hotel asset transaction in Singapore this year. UOL will use the net proceeds for its general working capital requirements and to repay its bank loans, the Business Times reported.
