SINGAPORE Nov 14 (Reuters) - Global Logistic Properties Ltd (GLP), one of the world's largest warehouse operators, said it has obtained approval from the Tokyo Stock Exchange to list a real estate investment trust with Japanese assets on the bourse.

GLP said it expects to maintain a stake of around 15 percent in the Japan REIT upon completion of the initial public offering.
