Following the acquisition of six logistics properties in Wuhan and Chengdu last year, it is now expanding its footprint into the Eastern region. The Group believes that its strategy can bring long-term value to stakeholders, and enhance the Group’s earnings and cash flow. This property will also have synergies with our other assets and investments in the logistics segment”
