SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - Real estate private equity firm Gaw Capital Partners has completed the acquisition of a portfolio of logistics assets in Greater Tokyo, Japan. The portfolio, purchased through a fund under its management, comprises seven assets with a total net rentable area of around 253,200 sq m that is fully leased out. The portfolio was reportedly acquired for US$540 million ($732 million) from US investment firm Blackstone.
The assets are located in Chiba, Joso, Hasuda, Hashimoto, Atsugi and Ashikaga, with most of the assets within a one-hour drive of central Tokyo. In a Dec 1 press release, the firm plans to “unlock the hidden value of the portfolio” by leveraging strategies including cold storage conversion, proactive asset management, and environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives.
