Mapletree Investments Pte Ltd, a Singapore-based real estate developer focused on sustainability, said July 25 that it has broken ground for its 250,000-square-foot industrial facility in Westampton Township.
The property is on a 22.5-acre site at 1960 Burlington-Mount Holly Road. The project is scheduled for completion in the second quarter of 2026. Mapletree bought the property for an undisclosed price last December. This is the Singapore company’s first development in New Jersey, though it owns industrial assets within the state.
“Today’s groundbreaking is a major step for Mapletree’s development platform as we continue to expand our pipeline nationwide,” said Richard Prokup, chief executive officer, U.S., Mapletree. “We see strong, long-term value in the industrial sector, where development plays an essential role in our growth strategy.”
Chiagorom Osu, head of U.S. Logistics Development at Mapletree, added: “We’re proud to continue expanding Mapletree’s U.S. logistics footprint with a development that delivers not only modern specifications and high functionality, but also incorporates sustainability features designed to meet the evolving needs of today’s occupiers.”
Osu said that once the project is completed, the facility will achieve LEED Silver certification, have 36-foot clear height, 44 dock doors, two drive-in doors, 150 parking spaces, 62 trailer stalls, electric-vehicle charging infrastructure, LED lighting, solar ready roof and smart meters.
The planned facility is located near the New Jersey Turnpike’s Exit 5 interchange and less than two miles from Interstate 295. Mapletree is positioning the facility to serve as a distribution and last-mile delivery hub in one of New Jersey’s most strategic logistics corridors.
Blue Rock is leading construction effort while JLL will oversee the property’s leasing efforts.
Mapletree first entered the U.S. real estate market in 2014 and owns more than 907,000 square feet of industrial assets in New Jersey. The company has built a portfolio spanning logistics, data center, office, student housing and multifamily properties. As of March 31, 2025, the U.S. market accounted for about 25% of its total assets under management, valued at about $60.1 billion.
