Real Estate & Infrastructure Capital Deployment

Institutional investors are actively seeking core and core-plus real estate assets across Asia, even as infrastructure spending remains a priority. Prologis and GIC launched a $1.6 billion build-to-suit venture, seeding the joint venture with an initial 4.1 million square-foot portfolio, marking the Singaporean fund’s second such pairing this year. Concurrently, the Dutch pension manager APG intends to scale its real estate exposure in the Asia-Pacific region, emphasizing developed markets using core-plus strategies. Meanwhile, Sumitomo Mitsui Finance signaled a growing appetite for tangible assets, specifically looking to commit capital toward transport-related infrastructure and movable transportation funds, suggesting a diversification away from standard equity plays as the industry prepares for the Global Summit in Berlin next week.
