CapitaLand sets up $809m serviced residence fund with Qatar Investment Authority

This is Ascott’s largest private equity fund.

CapitaLand today revealed that Ascott, its wholly owned serviced residence business unit, has entered into a 50:50 joint venture with Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) to set up a $809m (US$600m) serviced residence fund.

This is Ascott’s largest private equity fund to date and will have an initial focus on the Asia Pacific and Europe regions.

Through the partnership in serviced residences, Ascott and QIA will each contribute $405m (US$300m) of equity funds to the joint venture.

The fund will invest in serviced residences or rental housing properties with an initial focus on the Asia Pacific and Europe regions, for a term of 10 years with an investment period of three years.

It will invest in development, redevelopment and turnkey opportunities, as well as acquire suitable projects for asset enhancement, repositioning or conversion into serviced residences and rental housing properties.

CapitaLand said that this move is part of its goal to launch six new funds with total assets under management of up to $10 billion by 2020.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
