ESR exceeds $2.56b refinancing target

Facility combines multiple loans into a five-year funding structure.

ESR has upsized its sustainability-linked refinancing facility beyond its initial $2.56b (US$2b) target after receiving strong demand from a global lender syndicate.

The five-year refinancing facility consolidates several existing loan facilities into a single multi-currency structure across multiple funding currencies.

It also broadens ESR’s lender base through new and expanded banking relationships across Europe and the Middle East alongside established Asia-Pacific (APAC) partners.

The facility was fully underwritten by a core group of banks including HSBC, Mizuho, Qatar National Bank, Singapore Branch, UOB, Maybank, and OCBC.

ESR said the refinancing strengthens its capacity to drive growth initiatives across logistics real estate, data centres and adjacent energy infrastructure in key APAC markets.

The company also completed about $1.41b (US$1.1b) in net debt repayments in 2025 and said it is targeting further deleveraging initiatives in 2026.

Matthew Lawson, chief financial officer of ESR, said the refinancing demonstrated the company’s approach to capital management.

“This refinancing is a tangible demonstration of ESR’s disciplined approach to capital management for long-term growth,” Lawson said.

He added that the oversubscribed facility shows lenders’ support for ESR’s updated strategy and gives the company greater capacity to pursue opportunities in logistics real estate and data centres.

The refinancing enables ESR to simplify its business and grow its core logistics and data centre businesses through its APAC platform.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up 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. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
