AyalaLand Logistics Holdings Corp. (ALLHC), the industrial park and real estate logistics arm of Ayala Land Inc. expanded its portfolio with the acquisition of two logistics parks.
ALLHC said Tuesday it acquired 3M Pangasinan in Barangay Catbalan, Urdaneta City, Pangasinan and 3M Iloilo in Barangay Lupa, Santa Barbara, Iloilo, with combined capacity of 11,200 pallet positions.
The acquisitions brought ALLHC’s total cold storage capacity to 31,500 pallet positions.
The two logistic parks, which will operate as Artico Urdaneta and Artico Iloilo, are equipped with cold storage facilities.
Artico Urdaneta, accessible via Urdaneta-Mapandan Road and MacArthur Highway, features 7,400 pallet positions across 15 cold rooms, while Artico Iloilo, with direct connectivity via the Iloilo-Sta. Barbara Road, provides 3,800 pallet positions across 8 cold rooms.
Both sites are registered with the National Meat Inspection Service (NMIS), the Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI) and the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR).
“This acquisition is a significant step in our ongoing effort to expand ALLHC’s logistics footprint across the country,” said ALLHC president and chief executive Robert Lao.
“With the addition of Artico Urdaneta and Artico Iloilo, we are strengthening our ability to support businesses in key regional hubs,” said Lao.
The acquisition expands ALLHC’s ALogis portfolio, adding over 15,000 square meters of gross leasable area (GLA) and bringing its dry storage total GLA to about 355,000 square meters.
These facilities will primarily cater to businesses in need of both temperature-controlled and dry storage solutions.
