ESR-LOGOS REIT proposed to divest six non-core assets in Singapore and one in Australia with a total value of $337m.

In a disclosure, the ESR-LOGOS REIT manager said the portfolio to be divested in Singapore includes five non-core assets worth $313.5m and the property at 22 Chin Bee Drive which is valued at $13.8m.

The property in Australia is located at 51 Musgrave Road and is worth around $9.8m (A$10.8m).

The net proceeds from the proposed divestment is expected to be around $322.4m.

“The net proceeds of the Proposed Divestments will provide E-LOG with the flexibility to optimise its capital structure and recycle capital towards higher quality New Economy assets and to finance upcoming asset enhancement initiatives and/or redevelopment works given the favourable secular trends impacting how goods are produced, delivered and consumed, in particular driving the demand for logistics facilities,” the statement read.

Post-divestment, this will reduce ESR–LOGOS’ gearing to 33.6% for the financial 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.
