GIC, Melcombe to develop European urban logistics properties

They will advance last-mile distribution centres.

Sovereign wealth fund GIC and Melcombe have partnered to acquire and develop urban logistics properties in Europe, a statement read.

They will advance last-mile distribution centres and urban logistics assets in Europe’s main gateway cities, with a focus on the UK, France, Germany, Spain and the Netherlands.

“This venture reflects GIC’s continued confidence in the long-term potential of the logistics sector. The urban logistics sub-market will benefit from positive fundamentals, reinforced by increasing occupier demand due to accelerating e-commerce adoption and changing supply chain management strategies,” said Lee Kok Sun, chief investment officer of real estate at GIC.

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.
