Message

ESR REIT Management Ltd. (hereinafter, “ESRRM”) was established in May 2016 as a subsidiary of ESR LTD. (hereinafter, “ESR”) to undertake the asset management duties of ESR. A leading specialist in the development, operation and investment of institutional-grade logistics facilities throughout Asia, ESR strives to maximise customer profit by providing value-added solutions across various logistics-related aspects, with a focus on supporting customers’ business expansion and long-term growth.
As the sponsor, ESR has been known as a pioneer in introducing large-scale, multi-tenant modern logistics facilities to Japan since the days as the Redwood Group, and has since expanded to become the top logistics real estate developer across the Asia Pacific (APAC) region. In November 2019, the parent company, ESR Cayman Ltd. was successfully listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

In January 2022, ESR completed the acquisition of ARA Asset management which transformed the enlarged ESR group into the largest real estate asset manager in APAC.
On the backgrounds of this expansion and fund-raising capacity, it is expected that the potential pipelines of ESRRM will be expanded accordingly.

ESRRM launched its asset management in earnest in November 2020 (original funding was valued at about 15 billion yen for 3 properties), utilizing our connection with ESR group, our AUM has increased to about 60 billion yen with total 7 properties as of February, 2024.
We strive to bolster returns for investors by further expanding our asset portfolio(s) in close collaboration with the ESR Group.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to you.
