Real Estate & Infrastructure Investment

Institutional capital continues to favor pooled investment structures in Asia-Pacific real assets, with large pension managers like Rest embracing the fund format to broaden their exposure to the asset class. This trend is mirrored by major partnerships, as Prologis and GIC jointly launch a $1.6 billion build-to-suit venture, seeding the joint venture with a substantial 4.1 million square-foot portfolio. Meanwhile, APG is signaling intentions to scale up its real estate commitments across developed APAC markets, focusing specifically on core-plus strategies. In parallel infrastructure management, Macquarie Asset Management seeks to avoid 'mandate creep' while actively generating alpha as its fourth Asian infrastructure fund begins initial transactions. Further illustrating infrastructure appetite, Sumitomo Mitsui Finance and Leasing intends to dedicate capital toward transport-related infrastructure and movable transportation funds.
