Singapore sovereign wealth fund GIC Pte is considering the sale of a top-grade Tokyo skyscraper and has approached potential buyers about the property, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

The tower, 43-story Shiodome City Center in one of Tokyo’s central business districts, may fetch a price of at least ¥300 billion ($2 billion), two of the people said. Any deal of that size would make it one of the most expensive office building transactions ever in Japan.
