Mapletree Logistics Trust to develop Japan asset for $16.2m

It will be completed by March next year.

MLT has announced its plan to unlock its utilised plot ratio of its asset, Moriya Centre, in Ibaraki (Japan), with Nippon Express at a development cost of approx. SGD16.2m.

According to a report by RHB, this will effectively add 26% of gross floor area (GFA) to the asset, and hence enhancing the yield and value of the asset.

Given that Nippon Express is one o f MLT’s top 10 tenants, analysts at RHB think that the REIT possess the ability to retain its top tenants and be able to meet its tenant’s demand for additional space. The AEI work will commence in Apr15 and be completed by March next year. Upon completion, Nippon Express will lease the new additional space with an annual rental escalation till Dec21.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
