GLP launches US$873m joint venture with Canada Pension Plan

To develop logistics infrastructure in Japan.

Singapore-listed Global Logistics Properties has launched a 50:50 joint venture with the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB), to develop logistics facilities in Japan.

The JV, known as GLP Japan Development Venture II (JDV II), has total equity commitments of JPY100 billion (USD 873 million) and is expected to reach US$2 billion over three years.

The Venture’s investment strategy allows it to sell assets to GLP J-REIT, providing higher flexibility and attractive returns. GLP JDV II is expected to commence construction of new developments in 2016.

GLP JDV II is a follow-on venture to GLP Japan Development Venture I, GLP and CPPIB’s first Japan development venture which was launched in September 2011 and expanded twice since.

GLP JDV I has reached 92% of its investment capacity, with US$2.4 billion2 of projects in various stages of development.

GLP and CPPIB continue to see solid customer demand driven by limited supply of modern logistics infrastructure and ongoing supply chain modernization.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
