Greystar Real Estate Partners and its affiliates have opened an office in Tokyo to capitalize on the significant multifamily opportunities in key cities throughout Japan. Veteran real estate executive Akira Kosugi has been hired as managing director to oversee the new office and is responsible for advancing the firm’s investment objectives.
“Japan is one of the top markets in the world with a developed institutional multifamily ownership. There is a tremendous appetite from our global investors to get exposure in this market,” said Bob Faith, founder and CEO of Greystar. “As Greystar continues to grow our global footprint, it is critically important that we build our local team in Japan to be best positioned to address this important market. We’re looking forward to working with Akira to serve our investors, clients and residents in Japan for years to come.”
