ESR has partnered with two Chinese insurance giants to establish a RMB 1.6 billion income fund focused on prime logistics assets. The deal involves the recapitalisation of two multi-storey industrial properties in Shanghai and Suzhou, totalling 320,000 square metres. By retaining management of the portfolio, ESR continues its capital recycling strategy while meeting the high demand from domestic institutional investors for modern supply chain infrastructure.
ESR has successfully raised US$850 million in fresh equity capital from its existing shareholders. This major financial boost is intended to speed up the firm’s expansion within the logistics and data centre sectors across the Asia-Pacific region. The move follows a period of significant portfolio simplification, where the company raised over US$2 billion by selling non-core assets to focus on high-growth digital and supply chain infrastructure.
