Investment Strategies
Funds
Investing in sectors that shape Japan’s next cycle of growth.
Life Science R & D
Japan
Life Sciences and R&D (LRD) real estate serves Japan’s growing innovation economy. High-specification lab and R&D facilities located in established innovation hubs attract skilled talent and enable critical research activities. In Japan, demand for modern institutional-grade R&D space is rising sharply, while LRD real estate remains substantially undersupplied – creating a compelling opportunity to build and scale value within a specialized, high-barrier sector.
Hospitality
Japan
Hospitality assets sit at the intersection of travel, culture and economic activity. In key gateway cities and established regional locations, well-positioned hotels benefit from structural inbound tourism growth, resilient domestic travel and business mobility. In a market characterized by fragmented ownership and operational complexity, active asset management, brand repositioning and operational expertise are key to unlocking performance and generating long-term value.
GIP
Japan
German Industry Park (GIP) is a purpose-built, high-specification R&D facility in Yokohama, Japan. Designed with industrial-grade infrastructure and flexible floorplates, GIP enables tenants to integrate R&D, office and production functions within a single institutional-grade building. As supply chains localize and urban land constraints tighten, well-located high-specification R&D facilities continue to benefit from structural demand drivers and defensive fundamentals.
