(“NMF”), a real estate investment trust which focuses on investing in logistics and retail properties, started trading on the Tokyo Stock Exchange under the code “3285” on June 12. The REIT is sponsored by Nomura Real Estate Development and managed by Nomura Real Estate Asset Management. NMF plans to invest more than 80% of its assets in Greater Tokyo properties. The REIT’s initial portfolio consists of ¥227.6 billion ($2.27 billion) worth of properties, comprising 18 logistics (¥122.0 billion) and 36 retail (¥105.6 billion) assets. The 890,800-square-meter portfolio had an occupancy rate of 99.9% as of January 31, 2013. Ahead of its debut on the TSE, NMF sold 1,663,260 newly issued units and 87,540 over-allotment units at an initial public offering price of ¥100,000 per unit. The deal totaled ¥175 billion ($1.74 billion), making it the largest ever REIT IPO in Japan. Nomura Securities acted as the sole global coordinator for the offering. Nippon Prologis REIT acquires eight Class-A logistics properties for ¥ 132 billion Nippon Prologis REIT, Inc. (TSE code: 3283, “NPR”) has acquired a 593,400-square-meter portfolio of eight Class-A logistics facilities in the Kanto (Tokyo) and Kansai (Osaka) areas for ¥132.4 billion ($1.32 billion). The portfolio, with a weighted average age of 5.0 years, comprises six properties from Prologis Japan Fund 1 and two additional properties acquired from Prologis' wholly owned Japan portfolio. With this acquisition, NPR now owns 20 Class-A properties valued at ¥305.4 billion ($3.04 billion). To finance a portion of the deal, NPR completed a public offering of 96,200 units at a price of ¥763,420 per unit, raising ¥71.1 billion ($708 million) in net proceeds after deducting the underwriting discounts. The offering comprised a domestic placement of 57,720 units and an international placement of 38,480 units. Prologis will retain at least a 15% ownership interest in NPR. J-REITs plunged over 14% in May Tokyo Stock Exchange REIT Index The Tokyo Stock Exchange REIT Index fell sharply by 14.5% in May, marking the third biggest monthly decline in its history. The sell-off in J-REITs was partly attributable to a sudden rise in long-term interest rates; the yield on the benchmark 10-year Japanese government bond jumped to a more than one-year high of 1.0% on May 23 from 0.6% at the end of April. The TOPIX Real Estate Index, which tracks real estate stocks (not including REITs) listed on the TSE, dropped further in May, plummeting 16.4%. 1,800 1,600 1,400 1,200 1,000 Mar Apr May Ichigo Real Estate Investment Corporation (TSE code: 8975) has acquired an 8,289-square-meter office building near Akihabara, Tokyo and another two properties in Osaka for a total price of ¥8.65 billion ($86 million). The diversified REIT issued 90,000 units in a public offering to raise proceeds of ¥5.43 billion ($54 million), which has been used to help fund the acquisition of the properties. Hankyu REIT, Inc. (TSE code: 8977) will purchase two retail properties in Osaka for ¥9.97 billion ($99 million). The properties include 64,232-square-meter land in Sakai, southern Osaka, on which a regional shopping center AEON MALL is located.
