PropertyGuru is an online real estate firm in Singapore that is a well-known brand in the market and is seeing strong growth and demand for homeownership.

The company also has operations in Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. PropertyGuru recently acquired REA Group, which gave it additional exposure to Malaysia and Thailand.

PropertyGuru had plans to do an IPO in Australia in 2019 before scrapping the plans due to valuation.

Bridgetown 2 Holdings is a second SPAC from Richard Li and Paypal Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:PYPL) and Palantir Technologies Inc (NYSE:PLTR) co-founder Peter Thiel.

A deal could value PropertyGuru at $2 billion and be announced in July, according to sources.
