Mapletree Logistics Trust to acquire logistics properties in Japan, Australia, and South Korea

The REIT will acquire the priorities for $913.6m.

Mapletree Logistics Trust (MLT) will acquire six logistics properties in Japan, one in Sydney, Australia, and another in Seoul, South Korea.

In a bourse filing, MLT’s manager said the REIT will acquire the Japan, Australia, and South Korea properties for $652.7m, $112.2m, and $148.7m, respectively.

The total acquisition price for the properties is approximately $913.6m which represents a discount of  4.0% to the aggregate valuations by the independent property valuers appointed by the REIT’s manager.

The total acquisition cost, including acquisition-related expenses, is $946.8m.

Meanwhile, MLT’s manager is also planning to acquire two modern logistics properties, one completed and one under construction, in Jiaxing, China, with an estimated value of $209.6m.

The REIT also unveiled plans to divest an existing property in New Territories, Hong Kong for $100.3m.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
