Perennial intends to list a business trust in Singapore that will comprise mostly shopping malls in China, said the sources, who declined to be named because the matter has not been made public.
Pre-marketing of the deal is scheduled to begin later this month with the formal launch of the IPO slated for the end of March, the sources added.
A spokeswoman for Perennial, which is involved in the development and management of malls as well as property funds, said the firm has businesses in China, India and Singapore and it "continues to explore opportunties in these markets".
The three banks either declined comment or could not be reached.
