Wheelock Place was renamed Landmark Orchard on Thursday (12 Nov 2026), about three months after a Hongkong Land fund bought the Orchard Road property. It is the first property outside Hong Kong to carry the group’s Landmark name.
The 21-storey building at 501 Orchard Road has been there for more than 30 years and is directly linked to Orchard MRT station. Hongkong Land said existing retail and office tenants would continue operating under the new name.
The Fund Bought Wheelock Place for About S$1.1 Billion
Hongkong Land announced the deal in July, and its Singapore Central Private Real Estate Fund completed the purchase in August. It agreed to pay about S$1.1 billion to an entity owned by Wharf Real Estate Investment Company, a Hong Kong-listed property company.
It was the fund’s first purchase since it was set up in February 2026. The deal gave the fund a property on Orchard Road, adding to a portfolio that began with properties in the Central Business District, including Asia Square Tower 1 and One Raffles Quay.
Where the Landmark Name Comes From
In Hong Kong, Landmark is at the centre of Hongkong Land’s group of properties in the Central district. It is being revamped under a programme worth more than US$1 billion.
Hongkong Land said it plans to improve the Singapore property, too. Foo Pei Teng, who heads the Singapore fund, said the group would bring its long-term approach to investing in its properties to Landmark Orchard.
