CLAR to develop $94.8m logistics center in the US

The development is set to be completed in Q4 2025.

CapitaLand Ascendas REIT (CLAR) will acquire a land parcel at 178 & 179 Quality Drive in Summerville, South Carolina.

The land is strategically located on the US East Coast near Charleston, South Carolina, in an industrial submarket hosting manufacturing and assembly facilities for major corporations, including Boeing, Volvo Car USA, Mercedes-Benz Vans, UPS, and FedEx.

The land will be developed into a new logistics property, Summerville Logistics Center, with a total investment cost of approximately $94.8m (US$70.5m).

The acquisition is part of CLAR’s portfolio expansion in the logistics sector. The land will be acquired from Summerville Logistics Center Owner which is indirectly wholly owned by the developer PTLI Summerville Member.

CLAR, through its unit Charleston 1, has entered into a joint venture (JV) agreement with PTLI where it holds a 95% interest in the JV company and the remaining 5% held by PTLI. The REIT intends to acquire the remaining 5% interest.

The development is set for completion by Q4 2025. CLAR intends to take full ownership of the property once it has stabilised.

The total investment cost comprises the REIT’s investment in the initial 95% interest, the estimated cost of acquiring the remaining 5% from PTLI, and other transaction-related fees and expenses.

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.
