Given the strong relationship we have established with ProLogis over the years, we are confident the transition will be a smooth one.”

Dr Seek added, ”We are confident we can achieve the objective of maximising the potential of the acquired assets through the new joint venture. We will work closely with Jeff and his team to create long-term value for our tenants.”
