The Prologis China Warehouse REIT, managed by China Asset Management, saw overwhelming demand during its public offering, leading to an early closure and triggering a pro-rata allocation system. The final allocation ratio for public investors was confirmed at 5.83%, while institutional investors received an even lower ratio of 0.68%.
Launched on November 11, the REIT was fully subscribed within a single day, exceeding its initial fundraising target. During the book-building phase, institutional demand reached 235.8 times the offered amount. Priced at 6.121 yuan per unit with 400 million units available, the REIT aims to raise approximately 2.45 billion yuan, including 220.36 million yuan from public investors.
This REIT, jointly developed by Prologis, China Asset Management, and CITIC Securities, holds three premium logistics assets in Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area: Prologis Guangzhou Development District Logistics Center, Prologis Dongguan Shipai Logistics Center, and Prologis Dongguan Hongmei Logistics Center. These facilities serve high-growth sectors like e-commerce, manufacturing, and third-party logistics, generating stable cash flows.
