The future ESR-LOGOS REIT may trace its pedigree from three very diverse industrial REITs, but it will certainly not be a generic industrial landlord.

And the new REIT, which will be formed once the proposed merger between ESR-REIT and ARA LOGOS Logistics Trust is approved, will focus on just three specific asset types, its CEO-designate, Adrian Chui, told REITsWeek in a recent interview.

The managers of ESR-REIT and ARA LOGOS Logistics Trust first announced in mid-October 2021 that a merger has been proposed to combine the two entities into a new REIT known as ESR-LOGOS REIT.
