They are geographically diversified across Japan’s four largest metropolitan markets: Greater Tokyo, Greater Osaka, Nagoya and Fukuoka. Ikushin Tsuchida, head of Japan real estate at Brookfield, described the multifamily real estate segment as "one of Japan's most compelling", supported by long-term urbanisation, resilient housing demand and constrained new supply. He added that the acquisition of the residential portfolio aligns with the firm's long-term investment strategy. This is the first time Brookfield has invested in Japan's residential real estate market, though its Tokyo-based business already invests in office, logistics and mixed-use assets in the country. Brookfield also has significant experience owning and operating multifamily and broader living-sector assets in North America, Europe and Australia.
