CapitaLand Investment will cut 90 jobs in Singapore in 2026, about 4% of its local workforce, as part of a structural review aligned with its strategic goals.

The Singapore Industrial and Services Employees’ Union has been involved to ensure fair treatment, severance packages, and possible redeployment within the group.

CLI reported a 13.9% net profit increase to $327 million in H1 2026 and is considering divesting a stake in its hospitality business to boost growth.

SINGAPORE – Real estate manager CapitaLand Investment (CLI) has cut 90 jobs – about 4 per cent of its Singapore workforce – in 2026, the firm told The Straits Times, without disclosing the functions that have been affected.

The firm “periodically reviews its organisational structure” to ensure it remains aligned with its strategic priorities and long-term business needs, said CLI and the Singapore Industrial and Services Employees’ Union in a joint statement on Sept 3.

CLI has about 2,200 employees in Singapore, and most of them are based at its office in Capital Tower. CLI is a unionised company.

The union said it was informed in advance of the restructuring exercise and has been engaging the firm throughout the process. This includes representing workers’ interests, ensuring affected employees are treated fairly and that the severance package is in accordance with the Collective Agreement.

“Supporting employees is a key priority. Where appropriate, the company will also consider redeployment opportunities within the group,” said CLI and the union.

In 2025, local employees accounted for approximately 77 per cent in Singapore, according to figures released in the firm’s 17th global sustainability report in May 2026. Of these locals, more than 48 per cent in Singapore held managerial and senior management positions.

Based on a global workforce of more than 9,500 employees, the report stated that CLI has maintained a turnover rate of 24 per cent “with no major layoffs”.

The firm, which is headquartered and listed in Singapore in 2021, has a strong presence in Asia and operates in more than 40 countries, including China and India.

Job openings on its website as at Sept 3 showed more than 60 Singapore-based roles and internships in areas such as operations, property management and marketing.

Its chief executive Lee Chee Koon had said at the real estate manager’s results briefing on Aug 13 that the firm is considering divesting a stake in its hospitality business, The Ascott Limited, to accelerate its growth . It recorded a 13.9 per cent increase in net profit to $327 million for the first half of the financial year ended June 30, up from $287 million a year ago.

凯德集团投资公司将于 2026 年在新加坡裁员 90 人，约占其本地员工总数的 4%，这是公司为实现战略目标而进行的结构调整的一部分。

新加坡工业和服务业雇员联合会已介入，以确保员工获得公平待遇、遣散费以及在集团内部重新调岗的可能性。

CLI 报告称，2026 年上半年净利润增长 13.9% 至 3.27 亿美元，并正在考虑出售其酒店业务的股份以促进增长。

新加坡——房地产管理公司凯德集团（CapitaLand Investment，简称CLI）告诉《海峡时报》，该公司将在2026年裁减90个工作岗位，约占其新加坡员工总数的4%，但并未透露受影响的具体职能。

CLI 和新加坡工业及服务业雇员联合会在 9 月 3 日的一份联合声明中表示，该公司“定期审查其组织结构”，以确保其与战略重点和长期业务需求保持一致。

CLI在新加坡约有2200名员工，其中大部分在其位于首都大厦的办公室工作。CLI是一家工会公司。

工会表示，他们事先已获悉此次重组计划，并在整个过程中与公司保持沟通。这包括代表工人的利益，确保受影响的员工得到公平对待，以及确保遣散方案符合集体协议的规定。

“支持员工是公司的首要任务。在适当情况下，公司也会考虑在集团内部重新安排员工岗位，”CLI和工会表示。

根据该公司于 2026 年 5 月发布的第 17 份全球可持续发展报告，到 2025 年，新加坡本地员工约占 77%。在这些本地员工中，超过 48% 的人在新加坡担任管理和高级管理职位。

报告指出，CLI在全球拥有超过9500名员工，员工流动率保持在24%，并且“没有大规模裁员”。

该公司于 2021 年在新加坡总部上市，在亚洲拥有强大的影响力，业务遍及包括中国和印度在内的 40 多个国家。

截至 9 月 3 日，该公司网站上的招聘信息显示，在新加坡有 60 多个职位和实习机会，涵盖运营、物业管理和市场营销等领域。

其首席执行官李志坤在8月13日的业绩发布会上表示，公司正考虑出售旗下酒店业务雅诗阁有限公司的部分股权，以加速增长。截至6月30日的上半年财年，公司净利润同比增长13.9%，达到3.27亿新元，高于去年同期的2.87亿新元。
