Mapletree finishes 389,000 sqm logistics hub in Guangzhou, its largest in China
Singapore-based Mapletree has wrapped up construction of a 389,000 square metre integrated logistics and supply chain facility in Guangzhou, described as the group's largest such project in mainland China.
Singapore-based real estate group Mapletree has completed an integrated logistics and supply chain hub in Guangzhou spanning 389,000 square metres, the company's largest facility of its kind in mainland China.
Project scale and location
The sprawling development consolidates warehousing, distribution and supply chain operations under one roof in the southern Chinese manufacturing and trading hub. At 389,000 sqm, the site surpasses Mapletree's other mainland China projects in footprint, underscoring the firm's deepening exposure to one of Asia's most important logistics corridors.
Strategic significance
Guangzhou has long served as a gateway between domestic Chinese manufacturers and global shipping lanes. By clustering logistics functions at a single location, Mapletree is positioning the new hub to serve tenants that need streamlined access to ports, highways and rail networks across the Greater Bay Area.
Broader portfolio context
The completion comes as logistics real estate continues to attract institutional capital across the region. Industry consolidation has accelerated, with major deals reshaping the competitive landscape:
- C.H. Robinson has rolled out a new digital platform aimed at simplifying freight procurement for shippers and carriers.
- CMA CGM has agreed to acquire FedEx's supply chain arm for $1.4 billion, significantly expanding CEVA's North American footprint.
- A Lakeland-based logistics provider has appointed a new chief executive to steer its next growth phase.
With the Guangzhou hub now operational, Mapletree is expected to focus on leasing the space to manufacturers, retailers and third-party logistics operators seeking modern, large-scale capacity in southern China.
