CapitaLand Ascendas REIT to acquire Tuas logistics asset for $134m

Fully occupied site has 6.5% post-transaction NPI yield.

CapitaLand Ascendas REIT (CLAR) will acquire 5 Tuas Avenue 5 from heavy logistics firm Hup Hin Transport Co Pte Ltd for $133.9m.

In a statement, the purchase consideration was negotiated on a willing-buyer and willing-seller basis and will be paid in cash.

The price represents a 1.5% discount to the property’s independent market valuation of $136m as of 1 February 2026.

The total investment cost is estimated at $136.5m, comprising the $133.9m purchase consideration, a $1.3m acquisition fee payable to the manager, CapitaLand Ascendas REIT Management Limited, and other transaction-related fees and expenses.

The property is a seven-storey modern ramp-up logistics asset, completed in 2021, with a gross floor area of 50,160 square metres.

The site is fully occupied by four tenants, including Hup Hin Transport. Upon completion, it will have a weighted average lease expiry of five years, with annual rental escalation of 2% under a triple-net lease structure.

The first-year net property income yield is estimated at 6.6% before transaction costs and 6.5% after transaction costs.

CLAR said that following the transaction, its logistics portfolio across Singapore, Australia, the US, and the UK will rise to about $4.9b, accounting for around 26.2% of its total portfolio value of $18.7b.

The REIT recently completed an acquisition of a 49% interest in a data centre in Greater Osaka, Japan.

The manager intends to fund the acquisition through a combination of net proceeds from the equity fundraising completed in April 2026 and debt financing.

The acquisition is expected to be completed by the second half of the year.

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.
