Acquires a strategic interest in LOGOS
Intends to invest in future LOGOS-managed ventures across Asia-Pacific
Sydney (Australia) and Shanghai (China) – LOGOS Property Group (LOGOS) announced
today that Ivanhoé Cambridge has acquired a strategic interest in LOGOS. This transaction
follows Ivanhoé Cambridge’s recent investments in LOGOS-managed ventures in Australia
and China.
Rita-Rose Gagné, Executive Vice President, Growth Markets, Ivanhoé Cambridge, said: “We
intend to make further investments in future LOGOS-managed ventures across the AsiaPacific region alongside trusted institutional partners. We will continue to support the growth
of the platform as a leading Asia-Pacific logistics real estate company.”
John Marsh, LOGOS Joint Managing Director, noted: “Ivanhoé Cambridge’s strategic
investment in LOGOS creates a great opportunity for the business to deepen its presence in
the Asia-Pacific region, alongside our existing capital partners.”
Trent Iliffe, LOGOS Joint Managing Director, added: “Logistics real estate in the Asia-Pacific
region continues to have strong tailwind drivers, such as e-commerce growth, urbanisation,
a growing middle class and a resulting shortage of modern logistics facilities. With the
backing of Ivanhoé Cambridge and Macquarie Capital alongside management, LOGOS is in
a great position to deliver excellent real estate outcomes for end users and our capital
partners.”
LOGOS was established in Australia in 2010 and expanded into China in 2012, specialising
in logistics real estate development and investment management. The group has recently
established a presence in Singapore and expects to leverage the platform into other markets
in Asia over time. Macquarie Capital acquired a strategic interest in LOGOS in 2014 and has
since been assisting the group with its expansion. As a result of the announced transaction,
Ivanhoé Cambridge joins Macquarie Capital and management as shareholders of LOGOS.
Brett Robson, Macquarie Capital’s Global Head of Real Estate Private Capital Markets, said:
“Ivanhoé Cambridge is one of the leading real estate investors globally. We are pleased that
the quality and expertise of the LOGOS team and their access to top quality opportunities
throughout Asia-Pacific has attracted such a high calibre strategic partner. Ivanhoé
Cambridge’s endorsement of the LOGOS platform is an important milestone for the
company.”
To date, LOGOS has raised over AUD$1.3 billion of equity commitments from some of the
world’s leading institutional investors, with a focus on developing, acquiring and managing
high quality logistics facilities leased to premier logistics businesses in Australia and China.
LOGOS currently has approximately 17 million square feet (1.6 million square metres) of
assets under management or development.
Macquarie Capital (Australia) Limited and its affiliates acted as exclusive financial adviser to
LOGOS.
