Asian Real Estate

InfraRed has been investing in Asian real estate since early 2007. Its focus to date has been on real estate development projects in Greater China and Vietnam, made in partnership with the Nan Fung Group, an unlisted, privately-held property developer based in Hong Kong.

The investment approach is to source opportunities directly from the market, via intermediaries or through its network of partners. The investment strategy is predominantly focused on direct real estate with repositioning or development potential. The business adds value through a combination of structuring skills, hands-on active asset management, including development, and proven operating processes and controls.

InfraRed has invested in the residential, retail, office and logistics sectors in mainland China. Recent experience includes the acquisition of a 50% interest in six shopping malls developed and anchored by Tesco plc and the successful disposal of an office building in Beijing known as One Financial Street. Additional investment opportunities are currently under review.
