GLP

What GLP does

GLP is a Singapore-headquartered global investment manager operating across logistics real estate, digital infrastructure, and renewable energy, with approximately US$120 billion in assets under management across real estate and private equity funds. Founded in 2009, the company controls more than 3,400 logistics properties totaling roughly 70 million square meters of gross floor area across 17 countries, alongside 20 data centers with 1.4 GW of capacity and over 1 GW of renewable energy capacity. Its fund management arm, GLP Capital Partners, oversees approximately US$80 billion in AUM, providing institutional capital that underpins an asset-light capital recycling model.

The company generates revenue through logistics rental income from enterprise tenants including Amazon, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, PepsiCo, Xiaomi Auto, ALDI, JUSDA, Mixue, Wayfair, Asda, Primark, and BT; management and performance fees on fund AUM; data center services (FY2024 revenue of US$193 million, up 43% YoY); renewable energy power sales; and supply chain technology services following the Li & Fung acquisition. Technology stack includes IoT-integrated warehouses, automated guided vehicles, facial recognition access, four-way shuttle racking, and intelligent sorting systems supporting 24/7 unmanned operations across 450+ smart facilities. Logistics rental rates in China run approximately 15% above local market averages, with 90% occupancy and a 3.5-year weighted average lease expiry.

GLP was taken private in 2017 for S$16 billion and is now preparing a Hong Kong IPO at an approximately US$20 billion valuation. The business model combines long-duration institutional capital, an ongoing US$2 billion annual asset disposition program, and selective acquisitions (Li & Fung for US$1.1 billion) to recycle capital into higher-growth verticals. In H1 2025 the company reported revenue of approximately US$1 billion, while FY2024 recorded a US$1.8 billion loss driven by China asset markdowns — a signal of both real estate cyclical stress and active portfolio repositioning. The company employs between 1,001 and 5,000 people globally.
