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.

Isabella Lo, managing director and head of Japan at Gaw Capital, says the firm is “delighted” to have completed its first logistics portfolio in Japan. She adds: “With rising demand driven by continued urbanisation and e-commerce, logistics assets in Japan continue to mature as an institutional asset class, increasingly attracting capital from domestic and international investors.”
