ESR-REIT opened the new week by unveiling a slew of initiatives: It will acquire a warehouse for S$225 million under a newly formed joint venture (JV) and undertake asset enhancement initiatives (AEIs) at two of its existing assets; it will also raise up to S$150 million in an equity fundraising to finance these transactions and to service existing debt.
The mainboard-listed real estate investment trust's (Reit) manager said in a filing on Monday that the warehouse acquisition will be made through PTC Logistics Hub, a limited liability partnership (LLP) in Singapore. ESR-Reit holds 49 per cent of the partnership interests in the joint-venture, and third-party logistics firm Poh Tiong Choon Logistics (PTCL), the other 51 per cent.
