City Developments Limited (CDL) has been Singapore's
property pioneer since 1963. It is a Singapore listed international property and
hotel conglomerate involved in real estate development and investment, hotel
ownership and management, facilities management and the provision of hospitality
solutions.
With an extensive network of more than 350 subsidiaries and
associated companies under its wings, the Group currently owns and manages a
solid portfolio of residential and investment properties, including hotels.
CDL's network spans over 80 locations across 27 countries, including Asia,
Europe, Middle East, North America and New Zealand/Australia. Its China division
and wholly-owned subsidiary, CDL China Limited, has been strategically making
inroads in China's key cities.
In Singapore, CDL has established a
remarkable track record of having developed over 30,000 luxurious and quality
homes catering to a wide range of market segments. As one of Singapore’s
biggest landlords, it owns over 7.8 million square feet lettable area of office,
industrial, retail, residential and hotel space locally and globally. The Group
possesses one of the largest land banks amongst private developers in Singapore,
with over 3.2 million square feet that has the vast potential of being developed
into over 9.3 million square feet of gross floor area.
The Group’s global presence is led by its
diversification into hospitality management and the acquisition of hotel assets
through CDL’s London-listed subsidiary,
Millennium & Copthorne
Hotels plc (M&C). As one of the world’s largest hotel groups,
M&C owns, asset manages and/or operates over 100 hotels globally.

environmental sustainability and has been taking the lead in shaping
Singapore’s built environment since the 1990s.
