CapitaLand Malaysia to buy Selangor warehouse for $11.4m

The REIT plans to convert the property into a temperature-controlled distribution center.

CapitaLand Malaysia REIT (CMRM) announced that the trustee of CapitaLand Malaysia Trust (CLMT) has entered into a sale and purchase agreement to acquire a freehold logistics warehouse at Shah Alam, Selangor for MYR38.7m (approximately $11.4m).

The warehouse is located at the HicomGlenmarie Industrial Park. It is a single-storey detached warehouse with an annexed three-storey office building, and a built-up area of 84,755 square feet.

CMRM also shared plans to convert the property into a temperature-controlled distribution center. It is estimated to cost the REIT RM14.6m. This would mean that CLMT’s total investment for the property is RM54.3m.

The acquisition and conversion of the warehouse will be fully funded by bank borrowings, CapitaLand Malaysia REIT said.

CMRM further shared that it has also executed a letter of offer with a reputable international luxury fashion retailer to fully lease the building for 10 years. The new lease is expected to commence in H1 2024 and generate a gross rental income of MYR3.5m per annum with an approximate yield of 6.5%.

The acquisition is expected to be completed in H2 2023.

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.
