IndoSpace, a developer and manager of industrial and logistics properties in India, is considering an initial public offering in Singapore that could raise as much as US$700 million, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
The developer, which is backed by logistics real estate investor GLP Pte, is working with advisers on the planned first-time share sale, said the people, who asked not to be identified as the process is private. A listing in the city-state could take place as soon as the end of this year, the people said.
Deliberations are still ongoing and details of the offering including timing as well as size could change, said the people. A representative for IndoSpace couldn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
The Indian developer will be joining Thai Beverage’s beverage brewery unit and Mapletree Investment's student housing REIT in considering a listing in Singapore. The city-state hosted six IPOs totalling US$332 million so far this year, including three spacs, up from US$224 million in the same period in 2021, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Founded in 2007, IndoSpace has invested more than US$3 billion in 44 industrial and logistics parks in India spreading across 49 million square feet, according to its website. Apart from GLP, the company’s other shareholders include private equity firm Everstone Group and US real estate group Realterm Global LLC.
In 2015, IndoSpace had explored listing an industrial real estate investment trust, Bloomberg News reported at the time.
