Mapletree Logistics eyes Japan and South Korea as it expands beyond domestic shores

It’s stepping up its overseas drive.

The industrial property firm is countering Singapore’s gloomy economic outlook as it plans to pursue growth beyond domestic shores.

According to UOB Kay Hian, it plans to eventually increase its overseas exposure to 75% while it highlights target markets such as South Korea and Japan, pointing out strong demand for leasing space in the lead-up to the Japan Olympics and thirst for Grade-A warehousing among South Korea’s retailers.

“Despite rental reversion growth of 5% attributable to Singapore, Hong Kong and China, management continues to guide for moderate rental reversions,” UOB Kay Hian said.

Meanwhile, UOB Kay Hian added that the resulting downward ressure on NPI margins from expiring single user assets amid the bleak outlook in Singapore should be mitigated as it continues to look beyond domestic shores.

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.
