Robinsons Land expands logistics footprint in Clark

Robinsons Land Corp. (RLC) is accelerating efforts to diversify its income streams and expand its investment property portfolio through a major logistics development in Clark, Pampanga.

The company, together with Asian Infrastructure and Holdings Corp. (AIHC), recently broke ground on a new logistics facility for FedEx under their joint venture, RL Clark Logistix Inc. (RCLX).

This reinforces Robinsons Land’s broader strategy of growing its industrial footprint and strengthening recurring income over the long term.

Strategic hub

The project, located within the Clark Freeport Zone, is being developed in coordination with the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA), Clark Development Corp., and airport operator Luzon International Premiere Airport Development Corp. (LIPAD).

Planned on a 15-hectare site, the facility is expected to deliver nearly 78,000 square meters of gross floor area and is targeted for completion by the first quarter of 2028.

For Robinsons Land, the development adds scale to its logistics and industrial platform through RLX, the company’s logistics and industrial facilities arm.

The Clark facility is expected to strengthen RLX’s presence in a strategic location driven by cargo movement, airport access, and regional distribution networks.

Long-term vision 

“This partnership with FedEx reflects Robinsons Land’s commitment to developing well-located, future-ready logistics facilities that support the growth requirements of world-class companies,” said Cora Ang Ley, senior vice president of Robinsons Land and general manager of RLX.
