Mapletree Logistics Trust to divest South Korean asset for $7.4m

The buyer is an unrelated third party.

Mapletree Logistics Trust (MLT) will sell its Yeoju logistics centre in South Korea for $7.4m (KRW8b).

The sale will be made through a wholly owned South Korean subsidiary of its trustee, HSBC Institutional Trust Services (Singapore) Limited.

The buyer is an unrelated third party. The sale price is 1.3% above the latest valuation of $7.34m (KRW7.9b) as of 31 March 2025 and will be paid in cash.

The property includes a two-storey warehouse and a three-storey office building, with a gross floor area of around 10,959 square metres. It is about 18.2 years old.

MLT said the divestment is part of its strategy to refresh its portfolio and reallocate capital to higher-growth logistics assets.

The deal is expected to close by the second quarter of FY25/26 and will not have a material impact on MLT’s net asset value or net property income for the year.

Following the sale, MLT’s portfolio will consist of 175 properties.

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.
