Jumbo invests $20m in Tai Seng logistics hub

The move secures operational stability.

Jumbo Group of Restaurants is planning to invest in its long-term home at 26 Tai Seng Street, a property it already leases for its central kitchen, logistics, and training operations.

Through a partnership with Boustead Industrial Fund (BIF), Jumbo will take a 30% stake in a special company set up to eventually buy the property, with Boustead retaining 70%.

The investment will allow Jumbo to lock in its space, reduce rental risks, and secure operational stability for facilities critical to its business.

The company plans to fund its share of the investment, approximately $20m, from its own cash reserves.

Boustead, which owns a 25% stake in BIF, stands to benefit from the deal, and if its proposed UI Boustead REIT acquires BIF, the REIT would take over Boustead’s role.

The move is modest relative to Jumbo’s overall size and is not expected to significantly affect earnings or shareholder value in the near term, according to their company announcement released to the Singapore Exchange (SGX).

The acquisition can take place after 2033, when government restrictions on the sale expire, at a fixed price of $109.5m.

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.
