Mapletree Investments aims for 2 1 billion in Asia logistics push
Mapletree Investments is targeting 2 1 billion in total investment value for its Emerging Asia logistics development strategy having secured 500 million in commitments for first close
Mapletree Investments is targeting a $2.1 billion logistics initiative in Asia, with the first close of its Mapletree Emerging Growth Asia Logistics Private Trust (MEGA) fund raising $500 million. The fund aims to secure an additional $200 million in capital commitments for its second close, set for early next year. MEGA will focus on logistics projects in Malaysia, Vietnam, and India, where rising domestic consumption, manufacturing activity, and supply chain diversification are driving demand for modern facilities.
The fund, which includes sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, and national investment companies, seeks an internal rate of return exceeding the mid-teens. MEGA's initial portfolio includes four Malaysian developments, one Indian project, and two Vietnamese warehouses. Group CEO Hiew Yoon Khong highlighted the strong support from institutional investors and Mapletree's integrated real estate capabilities.
Regional CEO Ng Kiat emphasized MEGA's potential to provide investors access to high-growth logistics markets in emerging Asian economies. With logistics being Mapletree's largest asset class, comprising 43 percent of its assets under management, the company aims to capitalize on the growing demand for institutional-grade logistics space.
