- WHA Industrial Leasehold Real Estate Investment Trust (WHAIR.BK) operates as a Thailand-based real estate investment trust focused on acquiring and managing leasehold rights in industrial properties, including ready-built factories and warehouses located primarily in the Eastern Seaboard region. The trust invests in approximately 170 units across factory buildings (136 units) and warehouses (34 units), totaling around 468,990 square meters of net leasable area, with lease terms of 30+30 years and an average remaining leasehold life of 53.8 years; these assets are sourced from WHA Group companies such as WHA Industrial Development Public Company Limited, which serves as the property manager. Managed by WHA Industrial REIT Management Company Limited and with SCB Asset Management Company Limited acting as trustee, the trust targets logistics, supply chain, and industrial tenants seeking high-quality, strategically located facilities.
Established in 2016 following its initial public offering on the Stock Exchange of Thailand, the trust, formerly known as Hemaraj Leasehold Real Estate Investment Trust, maintains its headquarters at 777 WHA Tower, Unit 2101, 21st Floor, Moo 13, Debaratna Road (Bangna-Trad) KM.7, Bangkaeo, Bang Phli, Samut Prakan 10540, Thailand. Its portfolio emphasizes ready-built factories comprising 68% of assets and ready-built warehouses at 32%, supporting industrial operations in key Thai economic zones.
In recent developments, WHAIR secured unitholder approval in September 2025 for its fifth additional investment valued at up to THB 1,118 million, acquiring leasehold rights for four land parcels with factory-warehouse projects totaling 40,172 square meters from three WHA Group entities to diversify its portfolio and enhance long-term returns. Prior expansions include the first investment in December 2016 with 101 units (261,458 sq.m.), subsequent additions in January, December, and further tranches, reflecting ongoing asset growth through related-party transactions. These moves align with the trust's strategy of portfolio expansion amid Thailand's industrial and logistics demand.
