At the meeting, trust unitholders approved WHAIR’s sixth additional investment with a total investment value not exceeding THB 1,234.6 million. The investment comprises leasehold rights in land and factory and warehouse buildings totaling 10 units across six projects from four companies within the WHA Group. Following the acquisition, the total leasable area under management will increase to 514,319 square meters. These assets are strategically located and possess strong long-term income-generating potential.
Ms. Jarucha Satimanont, Managing Director of WHA Industrial REIT Management Co., Ltd., as the REIT Manager of WHAIR, stated that the sixth additional investment has been successfully approved by trust unitholders, representing another significant milestone in expanding WHAIR’s investment portfolio and enhancing opportunities to generate sustainable long-term returns for unitholders. The investment consists of leasehold rights in factory and warehouse properties with a total investment value not exceeding THB 1,234.6 million, covering 10 units across six projects from four companies within the WHA Group, with a combined gross leasable area of 45,329 square meters as follows:
- WHA Industrial Development Public Company Limited – factory buildings in WHA Chonburi Industrial Estate 1 (WHA CIE 1), totaling 3,000 square meters.
- WHA Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate Company Limited – factory buildings in WHA Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate 1 (WHA ESIE 1) and WHA Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate 3 (WHA ESIE 3), totaling 13,617 square meters.
- WHA Industrial Building Company Limited – factory and warehouse buildings located in WHA Chonburi Industrial Estate 1 (WHA CIE 1), WHA Logistics Park 1 (WHA LP 1), and WHA Saraburi Industrial Land (WHA SIL), totaling 24,032 square meters.
- WHA Rayong 36 Company Limited – factory buildings in WHA Rayong 36 Industrial Estate, totaling 4,680 square meters.
The assets to be acquired comprise high-quality factories and warehouses located in strategic industrial and logistics hubs of Thailand, particularly within the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), which continues to attract strong interest from both domestic and international investors. This trend is expected to support sustained demand for industrial and logistics facilities over the long term.
The acquisition will further strengthen WHAIR through an expanded rental income base, greater diversification of tenants and assets, and enhanced portfolio risk diversification. These factors will support the REIT’s earnings stability and future growth potential.
“This additional investment is in line with WHAIR’s strategy of selecting quality assets capable of generating appropriate and stable returns for trust unitholders over the long term. It will also strengthen the REIT’s asset portfolio and support growth opportunities arising from the continued expansion of Thailand’s industrial and logistics sectors,” said Ms. Jarucha.
Following approval from trust unitholders, WHAIR will proceed with the filing submission and draft prospectus filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to seek approval for the offering of trust units in connection with the sixth additional investment. The transaction is expected to be completed by the end of 2026.
