CapitaLand Malaysia Trust expands in Johor with $21.97m acquisition

The group will acquire three freehold industrial properties.

CapitaLand Malaysia Trust (CLMT) has signed an agreement to acquire three freehold industrial properties from Rainbow Entity Sdn. Bhd., a subsidiary of Gromutual Berhad which is listed on Bursa Malaysia, for $21.97m (RM72m).

The properties are located within Senai Airport City (SAC), a modern industrial and manufacturing hub in the Senai region within the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (Johor-Singapore SEZ). The purchase consideration is at a discount to the independent market valuation of $22.13m (RM72.5m) commissioned by MTrustee Berhad (the Trustee for CLMT).

The construction of the properties is scheduled to be completed in the first quarter of 2025. CLMT will also enter into a long-term lease agreement of seven years with a tenant for one of the three properties. The lease comes with built-in rent escalations and is expected to provide income stability to CLMT’s portfolio. The tenant is listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange STAR Market and is in the life sciences industry.

The three properties are projected to generate an annual gross rent of $ 1.56 (RM5.1m), with a first-year gross yield of approximately 7.1%.

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.
