Warburg Pincus logo

Acquisition strengthens Warburg Pincus’ Japan real estate portfolio with modern, fully leased assets positioned for long-term growth

Tokyo, August 6, 2025 – Warburg Pincus, the pioneer of private equity global growth investing, today announced that, through the Warburg Pincus Asia Real Estate Fund (“WPARE”), it has committed to acquiring two prime logistics properties – I Missions Park Inzai (“IMP Inzai”) and Logitres Sano, from Mitsui Fudosan Logistics REIT through a bridge financing structure. The total transaction value is approximately US$240 million.

Located in key logistics hubs within Greater Tokyo, the two properties are modern, fully leased facilities with strategic connectivity and high specifications tailored to e-commerce and third-party logistics operations.

IMP Inzai is a five-story, purpose-built logistics facility completed in 2018, with a total gross floor area (GFA) of 110,516 square meters. It is fully leased to a major e-commerce tenant and has been awarded a DBJ Green Building 4 Star rating. Strategically located within 40 km of central Tokyo, the property offers excellent logistics connectivity via National Route 16 and the Chiba Kita interchange on the Higashi Kanto Expressway. It also serves as a key transfer hub for air cargo to and from Narita Airport.

Logitres Sano, located in Tochigi Prefecture, is a two-story logistics facility completed in 2023, with a total GFA of 7,144 square meters. The property benefits from proximity to major national roads and expressways, enabling efficient distribution across the broader Northern Kanto region.

Takashi Murata, Managing Director, Co-Head of Asia Real Estate and Head of Japan at Warburg Pincus, said, “E-commerce expansion and rapid urbanization continue to drive strong demand for modern logistics facilities in Japan. Coupled with a structural imbalance in certain submarkets where demand significantly exceeds supply, we have strong conviction in the sector’s long-term potential. These acquisitions align with our strategy to deepen our exposure to high-quality logistics assets in core Japanese markets, where tenant demand remains robust. IMP Inzai and Logitres Sano offer a compelling combination of income stability and value creation opportunities, supported by strong tenancy, full occupancy, and strategic connectivity.

This investment also reinforces our broader plan to scale investment activities in Japan. Recent investments include the acquisition of Tokyo Beta, the largest share house portfolio in Japan with over 16,000 rooms, and the acquisition of Shinagawa Seaside West Tower by our joint venture with Eastgate Group, which focuses on life sciences and R&D real estate.”

Warburg Pincus is one of the largest and most active investors in Asia’s logistics sector, with 10 portfolio companies and ventures1 including ESR, QUBE Industrial, BW Industrial, Wide Creek, and Hale. The firm is also advancing its plan to open an office and build an on-the-ground team in Japan to support its expanding real estate and private equity investment activities in the market.

Bain Capital and 11North Partners Acquire Portfolio of 10 Open-Air Retail Centers Across Florida and South Carolina

BainCapital

BOSTON & NEW YORK – August 4, 2025 – Bain Capital and 11North Partners (“11North”), a retail focused investment platform, today announced the acquisition of a portfolio of ten open-air retail centers across Florida and South Carolina, most of which are anchored by Publix, for approximately $395 million. The private transaction was executed through an exclusive partnership between Bain Capital Real Estate and 11North focused on acquiring and operating open-air retail centers throughout the U.S. and Canada.

This acquisition follows the joint venture’s recent purchase of three open-air lifestyle retail centers in Oklahoma City and reflects the platform’s continued momentum in high-growth, high-conviction markets.

Strategically located across the thriving Florida submarkets of Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Tampa, and Palm Beach, as well as Charleston, South Carolina, the portfolio includes:

  • Sawgrass Square
  • Plantation Promenade
  • Miramar Commons
  • Rolling Oaks
  • Promenade at Poinciana
  • Solivita Marketplace
  • New Tampa Center
  • Lake Worth Plaza
  • Garden Shops at Boca
  • Point Hope Commons

Collectively, the ten properties span more than one million square feet of gross leasable area, with in-place occupancy exceeding 93 percent. Seven of the centers are anchored by Publix, and the portfolio features a strong mix of national, regional, and daily-needs tenants such as Bank of America, Chipotle, Starbucks, Chick-fil-A, Jersey Mike’s, and McDonald’s. The assets are situated in high-barrier, desirable communities including Boca Raton, Sawgrass, Plantation, and Charleston, SC, markets known for strong household demographics, limited new retail supply, and sustained population growth.

“This transaction represents a compelling opportunity to embed our platform in strong, in-demand communities that are benefiting from significant demographic shifts across the Southeast, including lifestyle migration and an aging population,” said Brian Harper, Founder and Managing Partner of 11North. “We’re thrilled to expand our presence in Florida through the acquisition of this high-performing portfolio anchored by Publix and complemented by a mix of top-tier national retailers. Our combined portfolio of grocery-anchored assets now includes Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and Publix, three of the most trusted names in retail. Across the platform, average grocery sales volumes are approximately $1,000 per square foot, underscoring the quality and durability of these centers.”

“This scaled acquisition, which has strong fundamentals and sits in one of the country’s most attractive growth regions, squarely aligns with our thematic approach to investing in open-air, necessity-based retail,” said Martha Kelley, Managing Director at Bain Capital Real Estate. “We are excited to continue building a differentiated and high-quality portfolio alongside our partners at 11North in markets where we have long-term conviction.”

Bain Capital and 11North formed their strategic joint venture in April 2024, targeting open-air retail assets with a high concentration of necessity-based tenancy and long-term consumer demand drivers.

Carlyle Raises $9 Billion for Its Tenth and Largest U.S. Opportunistic Real Estate Fund

Carlyle

Washington, DC – Monday, August 4, 2025 – Global investment firm Carlyle (NASDAQ: CG) today announced the final close of its tenth U.S. opportunistic real estate fund, Carlyle Realty Partners X (CRP X), with $9 billion of total commitments. The fund follows Carlyle Realty Partners IX (CRP IX), for which the firm raised $8 billion in 2021. This result reflects continued support for Carlyle’s longstanding U.S. Real Estate strategy and experienced investment team.

CRP X continues to focus on sectors underpinned by secular demographic and technological tailwinds and attractive supply-demand dynamics, including residential, self-storage, and industrial. CRP X is expected to have no exposure to office, hotel, or retail, sectors which the team has strategically avoided in prior recent vintages.

“Amid one of the most difficult fundraising environments for real estate in recent memory, we’re grateful for the trust our limited partners have placed in us,” said Rob Stuckey, Head of Carlyle’s U.S. Real Estate team since 1998. “This capital raise reflects both the strength of our team and the proven performance of our strategy, particularly through complex market cycles. Our ability to avoid structurally challenged areas and invest with discipline in a turbulent environment reinforces the value of our distinctive approach to fund construction and has led to meaningful recommitment from existing investors as well as strong support from new relationships. This is a compelling moment to invest, as we see improving fundamentals across our target sectors coupled with an environment of relatively constrained liquidity.”

Carlyle U.S. Real Estate is comprised of over 140 professionals, including a senior team with an average tenure of 20 years. CRP X is poised to benefit from the continuity of senior leadership, depth and experience of its investment professionals, and the team’s presence in key target markets.

About Carlyle

Carlyle (NASDAQ: CG) is a global investment firm with deep industry expertise that deploys private capital across three business segments: Global Private Equity, Global Credit and Carlyle AlpInvest. With $453 billion of assets under management as of March 31, 2025, Carlyle’s purpose is to invest wisely and create value on behalf of its investors, portfolio companies, and the communities in which we live and invest.

Blackstone Acquires a Modern Logistics Portfolio in Greater Seoul, Continuing Korean Momentum

No Comments
Blackstone

SEOUL – JULY 28, 2025 – Blackstone today announced that Blackstone Real Estate Partners (“Blackstone”) has acquired through QUBE Industrial Asset Management funds a high-quality, last-mile logistics portfolio in the Seoul Metropolitan Area.

The portfolio comprises two modern, Grade A logistics centers spanning 1.3 million square feet in Gimpo and Namyangju, which are among Greater Seoul’s most sought-after infill markets. Tenants include some of the largest local and global corporations in e-commerce and logistics.

Chris Kim, Head of Blackstone Real Estate – Korea, said: “This is a continuation of our commitment to investing in prime Korean assets in fast-growing sectors. Logistics is one of our highest conviction investment themes in real estate globally and a focus for us in South Korea, particularly in the Seoul Metropolitan Area where last-mile new supply remains extremely limited and vacancy for such assets is at a low 4% range. We are pleased to bring together our global expertise and scale in the sector, asset management capabilities, and local insights, to continue to grow the platform for long-term success.”

Blackstone has been an active investor in Korean real estate since establishing the team three years ago. Last year, it completed three major transactions, including investing in a large multi-story logistics asset in Gimpo; buying an office building in Seoul’s Gangnam district to convert into a select-service hotel in partnership with Travelodge Asia; and closing the landmark sale of Arc Place after years of work to transform the asset into a premier office building in Seoul.

Ardian and Rockfield strengthen European PBSA Strategy with a new acquisition in Terrassa (Barcelona) from ACCIONA

Ardian

The PBSA asset comprises a seven-floor building located on the former AEG factory in Terrassa
● It comprises 12,700 sqm, with 358 rooms with capacity for 369 beds, and indoor and outdoor amenities totaling more than 2,600 sqm
● This deal marks the second acquisition in Spain and the seventh closed by Ardian and Rockfield in just eight months since the launch of their European PBSA strategy

Ardian, a world-leading private investment firm, and Rockfield Real Estate, a vertically integrated living platform, consolidate their position in the student living sector with a new investment, a 369-bed student accommodation asset located in Terrassa (Barcelona). This marks the second deal in Spain, after the acquisition of Cristóbal de Moura 196 in Barcelona, and the seventh deal closed by Ardian and Rockfield in just eight months since the launch of their pan-European Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) strategy.

The asset comprises a seven-floor building located on the site of the former AEG factory in Terrasa, Avinguda Jaume I, 60, acquired from ACCIONA Living & Culture. With its extensive experience in residential development, ACCIONA has transformed the site into a masterplan that will feature residential, tertiary uses, green spaces and over 3.500 sqm of retail.

The recently completed asset, which includes 358 rooms and almost 3,000 sqm of indoor and outdoor amenities, will be a reference in the city for university housing.

Located in close proximity to the main university centers and the Nord train station, the asset provides excellent connectivity to the city center and Barcelona. The property has been designed to offer a sustainable, modern living environment, with spacious, fully furnished rooms, gym, canteen, swimming pool and large gardens and green areas.

“Spain presents a highly attractive student-to-bed ratio, reflecting strong demand and limited supply. In Terrassa, there are currently just 315 beds available for an estimated demand of 2,200. Existing options are outdated and lack the premium services students increasingly expect. This asset represents a unique opportunity to enter the PBSA market in Catalonia’s second most important university city, in a prime location. It fully aligns with our investment strategy, meeting top international standards of quality and sustainability.” Edmund Eggins, Managing Director, Real Estate, Ardian

“This acquisition perfectly fits our strategy of targeting acquisitions and forward-funding opportunities of best-in-class PBSA schemes. This investment represents a strategic step in our long-term European vision dedicated to Purpose-Built Student Accommodation, a rapidly growing sector that is increasingly central to urban transformation.” Juan Manuel Acosta, CIO Rockfield Real Estate

Gimv invests in Hemink, a Dutch renovation and maintenance specialist with focus on sustainable real estate

GIMV

Hemink Group welcomes Gimv as a new investor. Gimv acquires a majority stake from minority shareholder Pontex and the former management of Hemink. The latter will retain a minority stake in the new structure. Hemink’s current management team will co-invest, underlining their long-term commitment to the company’s further growth. In collaboration with Gimv, Hemink aims to further expand its activities as a national player in property maintenance in a sustainable manner. This will enable Hemink to respond even better to the growing demand from clients while continuing to offer good conditions for their employees.

Hemink has been a leading player in the finishing, and sustainable renovation and maintenance of real estate for more than 65 years. The company specialises in circular project approaches and results-oriented property maintenance, with a specific focus on large-scale and extensive sustainable renovation projects.

Over the years, Hemink has experienced strong growth and built a solid reputation by completely unburdening their clients with their comprehensive set of services. Quality, flexibility and craftsmanship are core values that are decisive for clients. Due to this approach, Hemink has built up an impressive client base consisting of long-term partnerships and many multi-year contracts. With over 370 employees and a network of loyal partners, the company can respond quickly and flexibly to local needs. Hemink operates from four locations and is headquartered in Holten.

Shared ambition, moving forward together
The sustainable renovation of real estate requires an integrated approach. The focus is shifting to results-oriented property maintenance, in collaboration with all stakeholders, and aimed at long-term performance, optimized total cost of ownership, minimal environmental impact and maximum value for residents.

Circular maintenance and renovation enable the reuse of materials, reduction of waste and limit CO₂ emissions. This transition requires cooperation across chains, smart planning and data-driven decision-making, ensuring that sustainability, maintenance and improvement go hand in hand, efficiently, measurably and with a long-term impact. This approach is essential to keep the housing stock sustainable and affordable for the future.

Established foundation, new opportunities
For employees, customers and partners, very little will change. Hemink will continue to operate under its own identity, with the same people, the same approach and the same ambition. The partnership with Gimv provides significant opportunities: additional knowledge and experience, and strength to further contribute to building a future-proof Netherlands.

Rutger Vrielink (CEO) and Dennis Schasfoort (CFO), explain: “With our qualified employees and extensive range of services, we add value for our clients and actively contribute to making the Netherlands more sustainable. Pragmatic, creative and results-oriented: that is what defines us! We would like to thank Pontex for the pleasant cooperation over the past years and, together with Gimv, we are taking the next step to serve our clients even better.”

Rombout Poos (Partner) and Cos Vrins (Principal) in Gimv’s Sustainable Cities form the deal team and describe the investment as follows: “Hemink is a strong player in a segment that responds to important trends that closely align with the strategy of our Sustainable Cities platform. We look forward to working with the Hemink team to realise further expansion and, with it, the further sustainability of the Dutch housing stock.”

Franck Marra (Partner) and Luuk Boere (Investment Manager) at Pontex Investment Partners state: “Hemink has achieved strong growth over the past four years. Its strong entrepreneurial spirit and innovative culture have been key drivers for its success. We are proud that Pontex has been able to contribute to this growth as an actively engaged shareholder. We would like to thank all employees for their continued commitment and dedication and, in particular, Jan, Bert, Robert, Dennis and Rutger for their leadership and vision.”

The transaction is subject to customary conditions, including approval by the competition authorities. No further financial details will be disclosed.

Ardian and Rockfield acquire the 1,209 beds Nido portfolio in the Netherlands

Ardian

Ardian and Rockfield have acquired the Nido Portfolio comprising 1,209 beds with assets ‘More’ in Leiden and ‘Muse’ in Maastricht.
● The transaction marks the latest investment under their pan-European student housing strategy — launched in October — which has already surpassed €600 million in acquisitions across Europe and is supported by a strong secured pipeline expected to push total volume beyond €1 billion by year-end.
● Muse and More are recently completed affordable PBSA assets in highly under-supplied markets, boasting excellent sustainability credentials as they align to the 2050 CRREM pathway.
● After the acquisition of Minerva in Amsterdam in last May, the partnership has now acquired over 1,800 units in the Netherlands in 2025.

Ardian, a world-leading private investment firm, and Rockfield Real Estate, a vertically integrated living platform, have acquired the 1,209-bed Nido portfolio in Maastricht and Leiden, as part of their pan-European strategy dedicated to Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA). The deal is one of the largest PBSA transactions in the Netherlands on record in terms of gross asset value (GAV).

Muse and More were purchased from Nido, the European student accommodation platform backed by CPP Investments. Student Experience has managed More (Leiden) since 2023 and will continue to operate the property. Rockfield will operate Muse in Maastricht.

Muse is strategically located near Maastricht city centre and the University Medical Campus. The 9,753 sqm gross floor area (GFA) student accommodation has 506 fully furnished modern studios, each with a private kitchen and bathroom, alongside a variety of communal spaces and amenities that include a gym, study spaces, private dining room, a garden and laundry rooms.

More is located in Leiden on the University campus and nearby the Leiden Central Station. The 14,304 sqm gross floor area (GFA) student accommodation offers 703 studios and 600 sqm of common space, divided over 4 buildings. The fully furnished studios offer a private kitchen and bathroom, the shared communal spaces include a game room, lounge area, private dining rooms, laundry rooms, roof terraces and a green courtyard.

The Muse and More transaction follows earlier acquisitions in Florence, Bologna, Amsterdam, Milan, and Barcelona, bringing total capital deployed to over €600 million GAV just nine months after launch, with a secured pipeline expected to raise the total to over €1 billion across Europe. CBRE Investment Management’s Indirect Strategies provided an initial €500 million equity commitment to the Fund. The strong momentum in fundraising continued, with an additional €300 million of commitments closed in Q2 2025 and a target to reach a total of €1 billion of equity commitment from various institutional capital sources for the PBSA strategy by the end of 2025.

Ardian’s and Rockfield’s strategy is to create a diversified portfolio of high-quality assets, focusing on European markets (especially Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Iberia and France) where student housing is in high demand and short supply in leading education hubs, characterized by a strong concentration of universities, a growing student population, and limited existing PBSA provision.

Target acquisitions are predominantly income-producing properties, but also selective forward purchase and forward-funding opportunities, capturing value through the development of new high quality student residences.

With a core+ focus, the strategy aims to create value by enhancing the operational performance of its assets, as well as their potential to contribute to the global effort of reducing GHG emissions in line with the Paris Agreement.

“The strong fundraising activity in our strategy is testament to the attractivity of PBSA as an investment. High tenant demand meets a limited supply of residential space, which ensures rapid letting, high occupancy rates and correspondingly robust yields. Our focus on green buildings ensures the investments are future-proof and cost-effective in operation. Given the fast expansion and diversification of our portfolio, we are well on track to becoming one of Europe’s leading players in the highly dynamic PBSA market.”  Bernd Haggenmüller, Senior Managing Director Real Estate, Ardian

“Muse and More is the second large acquisition of our strategy in a short period in The Netherlands, following the acquisition of Minervahaven in Amsterdam in May 2025. Muse and More have recently been completed and offer affordable rents to tenants, whilst adhering to the highest standards when it comes to sustainability. For this reason, these assets are important cornerstones in our evergreen platform which is aimed to be the leading one across Europe. The assets deliver high occupancy rates and income security, in prime, highly undersupplied PBSA markets”. Sebastian Zwart, Senior Director Investments & Development, Rockfield

Nido’s sale comes as it doubles down on its strategy to invest, develop and operate in Iberia, Germany and Italy. The capital from the sale will be redeployed in the latter two markets which Nido aims to enter shortly, having already set up teams in the countries.

Ardian and Rockfield were assisted by MC2 as technical advisor, Van Doorne and Linklaters as legal advisor, and PwC as tax advisor.
Nido were assisted by CBRE as commercial advisor, Loyens & Loeff as legal advisor and PwC as tax advisor.

Ardian finalizes the lease of office property at Via Vespucci 2 in Milan

Ardian

Acquired in December 2022, the property, located in the strategic Porta Nuova district, is being extensively redeveloped into a modern, forward-looking workspace, meeting the highest international ESG standards.
• Ardian reaffirms its role as a key player in the green office sector in prime locations, a market characterized by steadily growing demand and a very limited supply.

Ardian, a world-leading private investment firm, and Investire SGR, a leading asset & investment management company in the real estate sector in Italy, announce that they have leased the entire property at Via Amerigo Vespucci 2 in Milan.

The 10-storey standalone property, spanning approximately 10,000 sqm, is undergoing extensive redevelopment as part of a major investment plan to create a cutting-edge structure focused on sustainability and innovation, qualifying it as a Net Zero Energy Building. The project is designed to minimize energy consumption and CO₂ emissions by integrating renewable energy sources, such as geothermal systems and rooftop solar panels. The building aims to keep emissions below 65 kWh/sqm and will achieve LEED Platinum, BREEAM Very Good, WELL Gold, Wired Score, and EPC A certifications.

The project has been designed by Stefano Belingardi Architetti – an Italian firm with a proven international track record. It features over 1,300 sqm of terraces offering unique views of Milan’s skyline, a rooftop with a 360-degree panoramic view of the city, a hidden 200-sqm inner garden, and an agora enhanced by a system of striking stepped platforms that create dynamic communal spaces for users.

The intervention has completely repositioned the property, addressing the growing demand for green office spaces in prime locations across Milan and Europe, amid an increasingly limited supply. This structural shortage is driving up rental values and reshaping the market, which is now more focused on assets in key urban areas that align with the evolving needs of tenants. In addition, the project has revitalized an iconic building in one of Milan’s most dynamic districts, widely recognized as a hub for urban innovation.

“This important lease is further recognition of the project’s quality and Ardian’s vision in promoting work environments that are sustainable, innovative, and focused on well-being. It has attracted top-tier international tenants thanks to a real estate development strategy focused on both energy performance and sensitivity to the surrounding urban context. The initiative forms part of a broader strategy aimed at creating new and lasting value through modern, efficient assets that are seamlessly aligned with the dynamics of today’s market.” Rodolfo Petrosino, Head of Real Estate Southern Europe and Senior Managing Director, Ardian

“Vespucci 2 is the demonstration that offices are far from dead; on the contrary, they continue to attract growing demand from multinational companies, particularly when located in prime areas and equipped with high environmental sustainability performance. We are observing this trend across major European cities, and it’s even more noticeable in Milan due to a lack of quality stock and a limited pipeline of future operations. We are particularly proud of this lease, confirming the strength of our investment strategy in this asset class and our team’s ability to deliver high-impact value-enhancement initiatives.” Matteo Minardi, Head of Real Estate Italy and Managing Director, Ardian

“We are proud to have supported Ardian in this transaction, aimed at enhancing a strategic asset in one of the most dynamic areas of Milan. Through an approach based on environmental sustainability, energy efficiency, and innovative design, we contribute to bringing back to the market a building capable of meeting the new demand for high-quality workspaces. When reimagined through an ESG lens, the office asset class continues to offer concrete opportunities to attract international tenants and generate value for investors.” Alessandro Polenta, Managing Director, Investire SGR

Dils and JLL advised Ardian on the transaction.

Abenex REIM acquires prime residential asset in Neuilly-sur-Seine

Abenex

Abenex REIM, through a dedicated investment vehicle backed by institutional and private investors, has acquired a residential real estate asset located in Neuilly-sur-Seine (92). This transaction is fully aligned with Abenex REIM’s strategy, which targets high-quality assets in prime locations with strong value-creation potential.

Constructed in 1936, the Art Deco building consists of over 2,800 sqm of Carrez law surface across six floors (R+6). Ideally located near the Bois de Boulogne and just minutes from metro line 1, the asset benefits benefits from a prime location in Neuilly-sur-Seine.

The property was previously owned by a family joint-ownership (indivision) and has been well maintained. However, no significant value-enhancing initiatives have been undertaken until now. In line with its value-add strategy and ESG positioning, Abenex — a purpose-driven and B-Corp certified company— is planning a repositioning program for approximately three years.

The renovation program will aim to significantly enhance the building’s energy performance while redesigning the layout of the common areas. The restructuring of the upper floors and reconfiguration of the apartments will help address the strong demand for family housing in Neuilly-sur-Seine.

Carried out with the support of institutional and private investors – including Etoile du Nord Promotion, LC Promo, CEPRAL Participations and the FCPR Anaxago Society – via a dedicated investment vehicle, this acquisition adds to Abenex REIM’s portfolio, which now exceeds €200 million. It marks the second transaction completed in 2025.

“In an opportunistic market environment, this acquisition demonstrates our ability to identify and secure high-quality residential assets under attractive conditions. The recovery currently observed in Neuilly reinforces our convictions regarding the resilience and strong value-creation potential of prime locations in Paris’ inner suburbs,”
comments Vincent Brunswick, Partner at Abenex in charge of real estate activities.

The renovation plan aims to significantly improve the building’s energy performance and reconfigure common areas. The restructuring of upper floors and reorganization of apartment layouts will address the strong demand for family housing in Neuilly-sur-Seine.

With 785 rooms spanning 22 waterfront acres on the Gulf Coast of Florida, Sunseeker Resort Charlotte Harbor is a brand-new resort with extensive core amenities, including multiple food and beverage concepts, two pools, a spa, a fitness center, a rooftop adult pool and bar, a championship golf course and more than 60,000 square feet of combined indoor meeting space.

Allegiant has built a fantastic property and we look forward to bringing our extensive experience with large scale resorts to Sunseeker.”
