Mapletree Logistics Trust acquires $25.2m Smart Logistics Centre in Korea

It is the firm’s 10th warehouse in the country.

Mapletree Logistics Trust (MLT) continued on its acquisition growth path with the acquisition of Smart Logistics Centre in Korea for KRW21.bbn (S$25.2m).

According to DBS, the target property is a freehold three-storey Grade A dry ramp-up warehouse located within Fashion Forest, a prime fashion distribution park in Gyeonggi province, near Seoul. This represents MLT’s tenth warehouse in Korea (accounting c.8.9% of revenues post acquisition). 

DBS adds that the acquisition price implies an initial yield of 7.8% and is earnings accretive. Smart Logistics Center is fully leased to Smart Logistics and Smart Global, two established Korean logistics operators whose customers are mainly in the fashion and apparel industries and are related companies of the Vendor. The leases have a weighted average lease expiry (WALE) of 4.7 years with annual escalations. Given the relative small acquisition size, MLT will fund the acquisition through debt. Gearing should remain within management’s comfortable range of <40%.

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.
