EFC (I): The board also approved establishment of EFC Estate, a wholly-owned subsidiary, for potential strategic partnership and investments in commercial real estate projects, IT Park projects.
Integrated co-working firm EFC (I) Ltd plans to form an investment manager entity to manage assets and investments of SM REIT through a wholly owned subsidiary EFC Ltd.
