AyalaLand Logistics Holdings Corporation (ALLHC), the leading developer and operator of industrial parks and real estate logistics facilities, has beefed up its nationwide presence by acquiring two logistics parks in Pangasinan and Iloilo.
In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, the firm said its subsidiaries had acquired 3M Pangasinan, located in Barangay Catalan, Urdaneta City, Pangasinan, and 3M Iloilo, located in Barangay Lupa, Santa Barbara, Iloilo.
“This expansion increases ALLHC’s reach in key regional hubs, enhancing its cold storage and dry warehousing capabilities,” ALLHC said.
It added that both newly acquired properties are equipped with cold storage facilities, which will operate as Artico Urdaneta and Artico Iloilo.
“This acquisition is a significant step in our ongoing effort to expand ALLHC’s logistics footprint across the country,” said ALLHC President and CEO Robert S. Lao.
He noted “With the addition of Artico Urdaneta and Artico Iloilo, we are strengthening our ability to support businesses in key regional hubs.”
These will mark ALLHC's sixth and seventh additions to its Artico Cold Chain brand. These properties add 11,200 pallet positions, bringing ALLHC’s total cold storage capacity to 31,500 pallet positions.
Artico Urdaneta, easily 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 eight 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).
The acquisition also expands ALLHC’s ALogis portfolio, adding over 15,000 square meters of gross leasable area (GLA) and bringing its dry storage total GLA to approximately 355,000 square meters.
These facilities cater to businesses needing both temperature-controlled and dry storage solutions, particularly in Pangasinan and Iloilo, two regions known for their seafood and agricultural industries.
Meanwhile, 3M Properties owner Jimmy Tan said the transition ensures continued support for local industries, noting that, “We are pleased to partner with ALLHC, knowing that these facilities will remain essential to businesses in Pangasinan and Iloilo. With ALLHC’s expertise, these properties will continue to play a vital role in regional economic growth.”
