ESR merger will boost ARA LOGOS to become ninth-biggest S-REIT

ARA LOGOS is currently on the 13th spot.

ESR-REIT and ARA LOGOS Logistics Trust jointly announced their proposed merger on 15 October. It will be named ESR-LOGOS REIT.

The merger will create the ninth-largest real estate investment trust (REIT) by free float in Singapore with total assets under management (AUM) of S$5.4b. The move comes after ESR Cayman purchased ARA Asset Management. The two companies will become the biggest real estate manager in the Asia Pacific with $131b AUM when the merger takes effect in the first quarter of 2022.

ESR-LOGOS plans to further increase its exposure to the new economy by tapping on its sponsor large pipeline and disposal of non-core, underperforming, and short land-lease assets.

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.
