The portfolio comprises two assets in Madrid and four in Barcelona.
CapitaLand Ascendas REIT (CLAR) has acquired six Grade A logistics assets in Spain for a total gross purchase consideration of $185m (€124.0m).
The portfolio comprises two assets in Madrid and four in Barcelona, with a total gross floor area of 98,825 sqm, the group said in a press release.
As at 1 January 2026, the properties are fully occupied and have a weighted average lease to expiry of 9.1 years. The leases carry index-linked annual rental adjustments.
The acquisition is expected to be distribution per unit (DPU) accretive.

The first-year net property income yield is projected at 6.3% before transaction costs and 6.5% after transaction costs.
The purchase price represents a 5.9% discount to the independent market valuation of $197.0m (€131.7m) as at 31 October 2025.
Following the acquisition, CLAR’s aggregate leverage is expected to increase marginally to 39.1% from 39.0% as at 31 December 2025 on a pro forma basis.
