The portfolio comprises of five projects located in key logistics hub namely Shanghai, Jiaxing, Foshan, Wuhan and Shenyang and have a total leasable area of approximately 375,000 square metres. The projects are fully stabilised and are occupied by marquee tenants like Vipshop, Carrefour, Miniso and Alog among others.
