Cache Logistics Trust to purchase warehouse from Precise Development

Deal is set at S$55.2m.

Cache Logistics Trust announced that they have signed an option to purchase Precise Two Building (along 15 Gul Way) for S$55.2m (inclusive of upfront land premium of S$6.15m).

According to DBS, the property is a newly completed three-storey ramp-up warehouse of c284k sqft GFA and sits on a land with a 30 year tenure starting Oct’03.

Here's more:

The vendor is Precise Development Pte Ltd, who will lease back the property for a 6 year term, with an option for a further 6 years. The completion of this deal is subject to JTC Corporation approval.

High initial yield of 8.7%. While the initial yield of 8.7% is high, we believe that it compensates for the shorter land lease tenure of c20 years. It is also noted to be higher than Cache’s implied yields of c6.5%, which means that the acquisition will be accretive to earnings. With this acquisition, Cache will benefit from a larger and more diversified portfolio of warehouses in Singapore.

Moody’s rating obtained; improved financial flexibility. Cache also announced that they have obtained the long anticipated Baa3 rating from Moody’s.

Given a visible acquisition pipeline from its sponsor, the credit rating will provide the trust with added financial capacity and flexibility to head above the current 35% limit.

BUY, TPS$1.40. The acquisition forms c26% of our forecasted S$200m in acquisitions. Further re-rating catalyst hinges on the manager executing on more accretive acquisitions. Stock offers FY13-14F yied of c7.0%

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
