- Mapletree Logistics Trust (MLT) is Singapore's first Asia Pacific-focused logistics real estate investment trust, listed on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited since 2005 and headquartered at 10 Pasir Panjang Road, #13-01 Mapletree Business City, Singapore 117438. MLT invests in a diversified portfolio of quality, well-located income-producing logistics real estate across nine key markets including Singapore, Australia, China, Hong Kong SAR, India, Japan, Malaysia, South Korea and Vietnam, with assets under management of S$13.0 billion as of 30 September 2025 comprising 175 properties totaling approximately 8.3 million square meters of logistics space. The portfolio features modern warehouses, distribution centers and logistics hubs strategically positioned near major expressways, airports, seaports and transportation nodes to serve sectors such as e-commerce, third-party logistics, manufacturing, food and cold storage, oil and chemical logistics, and industrial warehousing; notable properties include Mapletree Joo Koon Logistics Hub in Singapore, Mapletree (Talegaon) Logistics Park in India, Kyotanabe Centre in Japan and Mapletree Logistics Park Phase 2 in Vietnam. MLT is externally managed by Mapletree Logistics Trust Management Ltd., a subsidiary of Mapletree Investments Pte Ltd, with HSBC Institutional Trust Services (Singapore) Limited serving as trustee. In recent developments, MLT has accelerated portfolio rejuvenation through yield-accretive acquisitions, including three modern logistics properties in Malaysia and Vietnam for approximately S$234 million to expand its presence in these high-growth markets from 24 to 27 assets, while executing 14 divestments totaling S$209 million in Singapore, Malaysia, Japan and China during FY24/25 to recycle capital into higher-specification assets; additional transactions encompass sales such as an Australian property for A$60 million and ongoing asset enhancement initiatives to optimize organic growth and maintain a strong balance sheet. These strategic moves, supported by robust tenant demand from over 900 customers including multinational logistics operators, position MLT to capitalize on Asia Pacific's e-commerce expansion, urbanization and supply chain resilience amid limited modern logistics supply.
