CapitaLand Malaysia Trust expands in Johor with $21.97m acquisition

The group will acquire three freehold industrial properties.

CapitaLand Malaysia Trust (CLMT) has signed an agreement to acquire three freehold industrial properties from Rainbow Entity Sdn. Bhd., a subsidiary of Gromutual Berhad which is listed on Bursa Malaysia, for $21.97m (RM72m).

The properties are located within Senai Airport City (SAC), a modern industrial and manufacturing hub in the Senai region within the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (Johor-Singapore SEZ). The purchase consideration is at a discount to the independent market valuation of $22.13m (RM72.5m) commissioned by MTrustee Berhad (the Trustee for CLMT).

The construction of the properties is scheduled to be completed in the first quarter of 2025. CLMT will also enter into a long-term lease agreement of seven years with a tenant for one of the three properties. The lease comes with built-in rent escalations and is expected to provide income stability to CLMT’s portfolio. The tenant is listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange STAR Market and is in the life sciences industry.

The three properties are projected to generate an annual gross rent of $ 1.56 (RM5.1m), with a first-year gross yield of approximately 7.1%.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
