LaSalle Investment Management (“LaSalle”) recently announced that it has formed a strategic partnership with Jingrui Capital to invest in and develop multifamily projects in China. On top of the announcement of the partnership, LaSalle and Jingrui Capital unveiled their first joint acquisition deal for a distressed retail and hotel property in Shanghai. The property is in Shanghai Hongqiao Transportation Zone and will be renovated as a multifamily project, featuring a total of 583 rental units and retail facilities.

Through this partnership, LaSalle expands its multifamily sector footprint in China, demonstrating its long-term commitment to China’s real-estate market. LaSalle follows a research-based investment strategy and has identified multifamily sector as one of its thematic investments in China.

Claire Tang, Co-CIO Asia Pacific and Head of Greater China, LaSalle, said: “China is one of the key strategic markets for LaSalle. We have seen increasing investment opportunities in China’s gradually maturing multifamily market, driven by a favourable investment environment and demographic trends. Our partnership with Jingrui Capital reiterates our confidence in the local market and we will leverage each other’s respective strengths to develop landmark multifamily projects.”

Junfeng Geng, Partner and Vice President of Jingrui Group, and President of Jingrui Capital, said: “The multifamily market in most Asia-Pacific countries is not fully institutionalized yet and therefore we are of the view that the multifamily market may still generate very attractive investment opportunities. This project is just the beginning of our strategic partnership with LaSalle. We look forward to working with LaSalle more closely to develop other leading multifamily projects across the country.”

LaSalle Investment Management (“LaSalle”) has acquired FedEx Alfortville, a cross-docking warehouse facility located in a prime urban logistics hub on the outskirts of Paris. The asset was acquired on behalf of Encore+, LaSalle’s flagship pan-European fund, from SCPI Accimmo Pierre, managed by BNP Paribas REIM.

Built in 2002 for TNT (now FedEx) and spanning a net lettable area of over 16,000 m², the facility provides the express delivery company with a strategic location that serves as a hub for last-mile logistics operations.

The property is located within the Val-de-Seine Park urban logistics hub, which has more than 70,000m² of dedicated logistics space and is an established location hosting other notable market players such as DHL and Kuehne & Nagel. Sitting in the Greater Paris Region within the vicinity of the A86 motorway, the property is also near Orly Airport which benefits from a cargo platform. The park can also be easily accessed by public transport and is served by a suburban train station (RER D) less than 2km away.

Beverley Kilbride, Head of France and Head of Transactions & Asset Management Europe at LaSalle, said: “The acquisition of FedEx Alfortville represents another exceptionally attractive opportunity in a key market. It is reflective of the team’s success in identifying last-mile urban logistics assets with significant growth opportunities which continue to attract strong investor demand.”

David Ironside, Fund Manager for Encore+ at LaSalle, commented: “FedEx Alfortville constitutes another meaningful development for Encore+ as we increase its exposure to urban, last-mile logistics assets in major European cities. The combination of a great location and a blue-chip tenant provides strong long-term rental income, enhancing the investment proposition and running in alignment with our overall investment strategy of diversifying our strong asset portfolio across key markets.”

LaSalle was advised on this transaction by Reed Smith, KPMG, Drees & Sommer and CBRE.

Strong returns and value growth in the second half of 2021, buoyed by outperformance by the industrial and multifamily sectors, are giving real estate strong momentum heading into 2022. The value of U.S. and Canadian real estate relative to other asset classes is leading to strong capital flows and in turn is driving up prices. LaSalle’s 2022 Investment Strategy Annual (ISA) also speaks to the surprises of 2021 like lingering inflation and sector laggards that are still on investors’ minds.

LaSalle clients can view the full report at: www.lasalle.com/isa

As the 2021 ISA forecasted, low borrowing costs, a strengthening economy, increasing vaccinations and rolling re-openings have boosted investor demand for U.S. and Canadian real estate. The outlook for 2022 remains positive, though the report notes that investors should continue to be nuanced in their approach to avoid potential potholes.

Jacques Gordon, Global Head of Research and Strategy at LaSalle, said: “Real estate has shifted from capital-starved to capital-rich several times already in this century. The most recent supply of capital has more than kept pace with the rebound in deal flow. This creates challenges for the deployment of fresh money, even as it boosts the performance of assets already in a portfolio.

“Additionally, more is being asked of real estate in several different directions all at once. Sustainability (ESG) criteria and rising tenant expectations are among the “asks” that investors must respond to. This raises the bar for putting societal and environmental goals alongside traditional financial targets when investing in real estate”.”

Select 2022 ISA findings for North America include:

Rich Kleinman, Americas Co-CIO and Head of U.S. Research & Strategy at LaSalle, said, “The outset of 2021 presented numerous challenges and with unclear outcomes, but what has become clear is the resiliency of real estate. Looking ahead to 2022, investors who understand the nuance of sector selection, in-sector differentiation and the interplay between a continued economic recovery and real estate values should find success in real estate as 2021’s momentum continues. Robust transaction activity in the second half of 2021 has cleared up pricing for some sectors, and that should continue into 2022.”

Chris Langstaff, Head of Research and Strategy for Canada at LaSalle, said, “A renewed government focus on increasing immigration, continued rollout of vaccines and boosters, and an expansion of the investment universe all bode well for Canadian real estate investment in 2022. Fundamentals in the Canadian market are rebounding, making the country a strong investment option for 2022.”

LaSalle Investment Management (“LaSalle”) recently announced that it has appointed Simon Howard and Michael Stratton as co-heads of its Australian operations. Their appointments took effect earlier this month, with both reporting to Keith Fujii, Head of Asia Pacific, based in Tokyo.

Simon and Mike joined LaSalle in 2011 with the opening of the firm’s Sydney office. Prior to this appointment, Simon was head of asset management while Michael had been head of acquisitions. They each have over 25 years’ experience across a broad range of asset classes including office, retail, industrial, hotels, retirement villages and residential.

Despite the global pandemic, investment resilience across real estate sectors in the country remains strong, underpinning institutional investor’s appetite for investing in the market. This new structure will enable us to deliver investment strategies and seek new opportunities more effectively and will further strengthen our position in the country.

Keith Fujii, Head of Asia Pacific at LaSalle Investment Management, said: “We see strong interest from institutional investors to seek access and opportunities to invest in Australia and the new structure with Simon and Michael mandated is set to meet investors demands and develop and execute on a strategy to jointly grow our Australian platform. Their diverse set of experiences across industries and strong track record will continue to drive growth for our business in Australia.”

Simon Howard, Co-Head of Australia at LaSalle Investment Management, said: “We are well placed to take advantage of the transition underway in the Australian market as investors assess the opportunities that have opened up since the lockdowns have ended. With hybrid work practices now commonplace, and our commitment to the decarbonisation of the built environment, there is an increasing demand for us to provide incisive and coherent solutions for our investors, tenants and other stakeholders.”

Michael Stratton, Co-Head of Australia at LaSalle Investment Management, said: “ The recent refocussing of global and local investor preferences such as the keen interest evident in the logistics sector plays to the strength and calibre of our Australian executive team based in Sydney. We are committed to identifying and completing significant opportunities in all asset classes that provide attractive risk adjusted returns for investors.”

LaSalle has acquired the retail and commercial park “Las Mercedes Retail Park” in the east of Madrid on behalf of its open pan-European fund Encore+ (“the Fund”).

Completed in 2015, the retail park comprises a total lettable area of just under 22,000m². The asset is fully let and anchored by the DIY retailer Bauhaus as well as the discount grocery store Aldi. In addition to already existing solar panels, further measures to increase energy efficiency and sustainability are planned over the long term.

The property is located in the Barajas district of Madrid, within a higher-than-average income catchment area of about 440,000 inhabitants. There are numerous shopping and leisure facilities in the immediate vicinity, including the highly frequented Plenilunio shopping centre. The neighbouring Mercedes Business Park is home to more than 12,000 employees of numerous international companies such as Coca-Cola, Vodafone, Fedex and DHL.

Las Mercedes Retail Park is also located close to the airport and the A-2, M-11 and M-21 motorways. The location is less than 30 minutes by car from the centre of Madrid and has excellent public transport connections.

David Ironside, Fund Manager for Encore+ at LaSalle Investment Management, says: “With Las Mercedes Retail Park, we have identified an exceptionally attractive opportunity to increase exposure of Encore+ to high-value, income-generating retail assets with a heterogeneous industry profile and potential for alternative uses. The transaction comes at an opportune moment when the vacancy rate in Madrid is historically low while the new development pipeline is limited. The location is compelling as an established urban retail and office submarket, providing a mix of strong-performing long-term tenants which will generate diversified cash flows and sustain strong returns for our investors.”

LaSalle was advised on this transaction by Simmons & Simmons (legal & tax), Hollis Global (technical & ESG) and RPE (commercial). The seller has been advised by Cuatrecasas (legal) and Cushman&Wakefield (commercial).

JLL Income Property Trust, an institutionally managed daily NAV REIT (NASDAQ: ZIPTAX; ZIPTMX; ZIPIAX; ZIPIMX) with more than $5.5 billion in portfolio assets advised by LaSalle Investment Management, today announced the acquisition of North Tampa Surgery Center, a 13,000-square-foot, newly constructed medical office building in Odessa, Florida. The property is 100 percent leased on a long-term basis to Comprehensive Outpatient Joint and Spine Institute Center. The purchase price was approximately $8.5 million.

“Within the office sector, our priority investments are healthcare-oriented, focusing on medical office and life science properties,” said Allan Swaringen, President and CEO of JLL Income Property Trust. “In an uncertain environment for traditional multi-tenant office properties, these two healthcare-oriented sectors stand out for their lower vacancy rates, healthy net absorption and balanced new supply due to significant barriers to entry. These factors also lead to higher tenant retention, even during periods of weakness within traditional office market environments.”

This acquisition increases JLL Income Property Trust’s healthcare allocation to nine properties totaling more than 925,000 square feet, valued close to $360 million and representing approximately 7 percent of its overall portfolio.

Swaringen added: “The shift towards outpatient, standalone surgery centers as an alternative to undergoing procedures in traditional hospital settings combined with the continued aging of our population positions medical office buildings as attractive portfolio additions to our stable value, income-oriented portfolio. It also positions the portfolio well to capture current and future demand, ultimately resulting in what we anticipate to be stable occupancy and long term cashflow.”

The build-to-suit property, newly constructed this year, comprises three surgery centers and new and innovative technology. The lease term is for 20 years and provides for an average of 2 percent annual rent increases. Located in the northern suburbs of Tampa, Odessa is a low-density but quickly growing community that is within 10 miles of nine hospitals, creating a strong base of potential referrals for North Tampa Surgery Center. LaSalle’s Research & Strategy team forecasts the area should continue to see strong population growth and increased healthcare spending.

JLL Income Property Trust is an institutionally managed, daily NAV REIT that gives investors access to a growing portfolio of commercial real estate investments selected by an institutional investment management team and sponsored by one of the world’s leading real estate services firms.

The macro themes in the 2022 edition of LaSalle’s Investment Strategy Annual provide a road map for navigating real estate markets around the world in the years ahead. We focus on several major trends, which when taken together, lead to our recommendations.

Eventually, we expect post-COVID-19 pressures such as inflation, supply chain issues and large fiscal stimulus to settle and a new normal to emerge. It’s just a question of “when?”

In this year’s edition, we seek to look through the current acute period of volatility and uncertainty, to discuss our view of likely outcomes and scenarios to consider, key themes for investing and real estate strategy recommendations that we expect to be resilient across the range of conceivable macro environments.
