Singapore – Global law firm K&L Gates has advised Ally Logistic Property (ALP), a global pioneer in smart logistics infrastructure based in Asia, in relation to a strategic investment from CapitaLand Investments (CLI), a leading global real asset manager with a strong foothold in Asia.
Following this investment, CLI will become a strategic investor in ALP. This new capital infusion builds upon ALP's successful "Taiwan Model" and its proprietary OMEGA smart logistics infrastructure, underscoring strong international confidence in the company's regional expansion during a period of global supply chain re-configuration and increased demand for resilient, low-carbon logistics solutions.
The Corporate deal team was jointly led by Singapore partner David Kuo and counsel Eric Yong, with support from senior associate Ying Chern Tan and associate Esther Neo.
Kuo stated: "We are pleased to have supported ALP on this important investment, which represents a strong endorsement of ALP's vision, technological leadership, and growing regional footprint. We look forward to working closely alongside ALP, as they continue to advance next-generation logistics infrastructure across Asia and beyond."
Stella Chang, General Counsel of ALP, commented: "We are excited with CLI's strategic investment in ALP and the complementary synergies this relationship brings. ALP's end-to-end capabilities, covering smart warehouse development, proprietary automation technology, as well as operations and maintenance, remain a cornerstone differentiator for us in meeting the demands of our valued clients as we navigate the rapidly evolving and complex supply chain landscape in the dynamic world we live in today. We thank K&L Gates for their helpful guidance and support throughout this process, which has allowed us to embark on our ambitious expansion across APAC and beyond and accelerate our next phase of growth."
