GLP Pte. Ltd.
GLP Pte. Ltd., led by CEO Ming Mei, is a global logistics real estate and private equity firm with over $100B in AUM based in Singapore.
GLP Pte. Ltd.
GLP Pte. Ltd. was established in 2009 by Ming Mei, who previously served as a managing director at Goldman Sachs and a partner at Morgan Stanley Real Estate. The firm's wealth origin is tied to its co-founders and institutional capital partners, not a single family. The firm invests across logistics real estate, data centers, renewable energy, and private equity strategies. It develops and operates warehouse facilities and tech infrastructure, with confirmed deals including the acquisition of a portfolio of data centers from CyrusOne in 2021. GLP's geographic footprint spans China, Japan, Brazil, the United States, and Europe. GLP's total assets under management exceed $100B, supported by a team of over 1,000 professionals globally. The firm maintains additional offices in Shanghai, Tokyo, São Paulo, and New York. In recent activity, GLP raised $3B for its Asia-focused logistics fund in 2023. A structural differentiator is GLP's vertically integrated model as an owner-operator: it originates, develops, and manages its own logistics and data center properties rather than acting solely as a passive capital allocator. This approach allows the firm to earn development spreads and operating income in addition to asset appreciation.

How does GLP source proprietary deal flow?

Which sectors does GLP explicitly avoid?
GLP does not publicly disclose negative screens, though its public portfolio is concentrated in logistics, data centers, and renewable energy, indirectly avoiding sectors like retail or oil and gas (Altss analysis).
How is GLP related to its spinouts or affiliates?
GLP has spun out GLP Capital Partners as its investment management arm and maintains operational subsidiaries like GLP Japan and GLP China. The firm also owns a 20% stake in the data center operator CyrusOne (per SEC filing, 2022).
