Ayala Land Logistics expands capacity with two acquisitions

AyalaLand Logistics Holdings Corp. (ALLHC), the logistics and industrial park arm of Ayala Land Inc., has broadened its portfolio by acquiring two logistics parks in strategic locations.

The company announced the acquisition of 3M Pangasinan in Barangay Catbalan, Urdaneta City, Pangasinan, and 3M Iloilo in Barangay Lupa, Santa Barbara, Iloilo. These additions, now named Artico Urdaneta and Artico Iloilo, bring a combined cold storage capacity of 11,200 pallet positions.

This increases ALLHC's total cold storage capacity to 31,500 pallet positions.

Artico Urdaneta, accessible via Urdaneta-Mapandan Road and MacArthur Highway, features 7,400 pallet positions across 15 cold rooms. Artico Iloilo, with direct connectivity via Iloilo-Sta. Barbara Road, provides 3,800 pallet positions across 8 cold rooms.

Both facilities are accredited by 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," stated 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."

The acquisitions expand ALLHC’s ALogis portfolio, adding over 15,000 square meters of gross leasable area (GLA) and increasing its dry storage GLA to approximately 355,000 square meters. These facilities will cater to businesses requiring both temperature-controlled and dry storage solutions.

ALLHC operates across nine growth areas nationwide, encompassing industrial parks, warehouses, cold storage facilities, data centers, and commercial leasing. Its developments include Laguna Technopark, Cavite Technopark, Pampanga Technopark, Batangas Technopark, and Laguindingan Technopark in Misamis Oriental.

ALogis standard factory buildings are located in Biñan and Calamba, Laguna; Naic, Cavite; Porac and Mabalacat, Pampanga; and Santo Tomas, Batangas, complemented by Artico Cold Chain facilities in Laguna, Batangas, Pampanga, Cebu, Pangasinan, and Iloilo.
