Industrial REITs are on a roll with recent acquisitions

Mapletree Logistics Trust recently bought the remaining share in Shatin No. 3, Hong Kong for $103.7m.

Over the past two months, industrial REITs showed high activity in driving their inorganic growth strategy, OCBC Investment Research said.

Most recently, Mapletree Logistics Trust (MLT) bought the remaining 38% strata share value of Shatin No. 3 in Hong Kong for $103.7m. MLT will spend $5.12m (HK$30m) on renovation to enhance the attractiveness of the asset which is currently vacant.

Ascendas REIT also completed the acquisition of a suburban office in Brisbane, Australia for $109.0m.

OCBC said this can have an initial net property income (NPI) yield of 6.5%, or 6.1% post-transaction costs.

Not all acquisitions by industrial REITs were done overseas, as ESR REIT acquired an 80% stake in a special purpose vehicle (SPV) which owns the leasehold interest in a high-specification building at 7000 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 5 for $240m.

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.
