Industrial real estate continue gains from hub status, investor demand, CBRE says

This was highlighted by CLAR's $133.9m logistics asset deal.

CBRE said Singapore continues to attract both domestic and cross-border capital into the industrial sector, as CapitaLand Ascendas REIT (CLAR) acquires a logistics asset in Tuas for $133.9m, which was brokered by its CBRE’s Industrial Capital Markets team.

CBRE head of Industrial Capital Markets, Singapore, Loh Lee Fen, said investors are focusing on industrial assets with strong specifications, strategic locations and creditworthy tenants, amidst a shortage of quality stock in the market.

She added that high-quality industrial assets with long leases and stable income streams are particularly attractive to income-focused investors in the current low-interest rate environment.

Loh said Singapore’s industrial real estate market continues to benefit from structural drivers, including its role as a regional hub, safe-haven status amidst global uncertainty, and ongoing investment in advanced manufacturing and logistics infrastructure.

CLAR said 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.

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.
