Alpina had earlier announced an agreement to buy over the dormitory from one Dong Cai back in March but in September, Dong, according to Alpina, declined to go ahead with the deal.
Alpina filed for arbitration on Oct 16. The arbitration will be withdrawn.

The dormitory, located at 180 Woodlands Industrial Park E5, is also meant as an investment for Alpina.
