The assets, with 179,645 sq m of gross leasable area and fully leased to tenants including e‑commerce players, are expected to be earnings accretive and provide rental upside. The deal lifts FLCT’s portfolio occupancy to 96.3% and increases the share of logistics assets to 76.6%, and follows Frasers Property’s strategy of recycling capital by injecting stabilized properties into its REITs. Upon completion, FLCT would own 118 properties across Australia, Germany, the Netherlands, Singapore and the UK. » More on forbes.com
