FOR INTENDED INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS ONLY – NOT FOR GENERAL PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION
LaSalle’s investments in Chinese logistics are part of a value-add strategy that aims to capitalize on the growing market for logistics facilities across the country.
The China logistics investment strategy consists of building a diversified portfolio of modern logistics facilities in selective markets with strong fundamentals across the country. The strategy is focused on capturing attractive development margins, while also seeking to acquire and reposition undercapitalized and undermanaged logistics assets. The strategy also invests in or convert existing warehouses into cold chain logistics to capture the strong and rising demand in this sector in China.
Why invest?
The growing market in China
China’s modern warehouse sector is anchored on the country’s large population and economic base and its long-term fundamental growth drivers. The ongoing structural changes in China and the rapid growth of e-commerce also create potential for a favorable risk-adjusted return profile.
Disciplined investment approach
We rely on a robust in-house market analysis framework to evaluate 66 major cities in China based on factors such as growth potential, transportation connectivity and government support. Through our disciplined approach to location selection we aim to minimize leasing risk and invest in stable projects.
On-ground specialists with established local partnerships
The team comprises more than 20 professionals and a senior team with 20 years of experience, sourcing off-market deals through programmatic joint ventures with local partners.
Strategic, research-based approach
The ability to harness and synthesize information is key to the success of the China logistics investment team, which regularly draws on the expertise of LaSalle’s data-driven, in-house Research and Strategy team in setting strategy and making investment decisions.
