Tokyo and Singapore, 13 July 2021 – GLP today announced that Japanese real estate investment trust GLP J-REIT (TSE: 3281), managed by GLP Group, has completed its first accelerated global offering (“AGO”) to international and domestic investors, raising JPY 28 billion (offer price based, approximately $250 million) for the acquisition of four modern, well-located logistics assets in the Tokyo metropolitan area and the Greater Osaka area.

Following this acquisition – expected to be completed on 15 July 2021 – GLP J-REIT’s portfolio is expected to reach 86 properties with total acquisition price of JPY 788 billion (approximately $7.1 billion), making it amongst the largest logistics J-REITs.

Yoshiyuki Miura, president of GLP J-REIT, said “The stellar response for this accelerated global offering is a testament to the continued confidence of our investors. Over the last 12 months we’ve successfully completed three public offerings and achieved the highest external growth among logistics J-REITs. We will aim to continue leading the J-REIT market through implementing innovative initiatives and to maximize investor value through its best-in-class asset management services, recognized both in Japan and around the world, by continuing to harness GLP Group’s extensive experience in developing and operating logistics real estate.”

GLP J-REIT is included in the MSCI Global Standard Indexes, which is widely used by international fund houses for benchmarking global equities portfolios.
