CapitaLand Ascendas REIT completes Japan data centre acquisition

The REIT used $188.3m from its equity fundraising proceeds to partially finance the Greater Osaka asset.

CapitaLand Ascendas REIT (CLAR) has completed its acquisition of a 49.0% interest in a data centre located in Greater Osaka, Japan.

The REIT used an additional $188.3m, or 20.8% of the gross proceeds from its equity fundraising, to partially finance the acquisition.

CLAR raised about $903.5m in gross proceeds from the fundraising. Of this, $567.9m has been used, whilst $335.6m remains unused.

The proceeds used include funds allocated for earlier acquisitions, including the Pioneer Sector 1, Tuas Connection, and 9 Kallang Sector portfolio in Singapore, DHL Canal Winchester in the US, six Class A logistics properties in Spain, and a 50% interest in Ascent at Singapore Science Park 1.

The remaining proceeds include $218.3m allocated for a logistics estate at 25 Loyang Crescent, $30.4m for a potential light industrial asset in Singapore, and $82.2m for a potential ramp-up logistics facility in Singapore.

CLAR said it will make further announcements when the remaining proceeds are materially disbursed.

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.
