The properties are valued at an estimated $63 million by CB Richard Ellis, according to reports. The transaction is expected to be completed on June 30.

Hersing holds the master franchise rights for the ERA Real Estate brand in the Asia-Pacific region as well as Coldwell Banker Real Estate's residential and commercial franchises. Hersing is also Western Union’s agent partner for Singapore.
