Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Appearing in the first session of this year\u2019s Mingtiandi Asia Logistics Forum, ESR China chief operating officer Zhou Bo said C-REITs allow logistics developers to exit

domestic insurance companies, major asset managers and other institutional investors looking for the stable recurring income available through logistics properties, according to Jeremy Ong, a partner at Baker McKenzie.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe way I look at the C-REIT market is this is the beginning of something potentially quite big, and they&#8217;re obviously looking to endorse it and as the market matures, as the regime matures, we&#8217;ll see something which is a bit more liquid in China,\u201d Ong said in the same panel.<\/p>\n<h3>Domestic Investors Key<\/h3>\n<p>Bo told the forum, which was sponsored by Yardi, that pending mainland government approvals, ESR is on track to launch its first C-REIT on the Shanghai Stock Exchange before the end of the third quarter, after having already

more liquidity, people can buy the shares and can sell it off anytime so for the investor side, C-REITs are more attractive,\u201d Bo said. He added that REITs provide individual Chinese investors with an important new investment option in a country where the asset management industry is still in its early stages.<\/p>\n<p>Baker McKenzie\u2019s Ong said that the low levels of gearing currently used by C-REITs enhances their appeal for investors by creating more room for growth. He said yields for C-REITs now typically hover around 4 to 4.5 percent, depending on the market.<\/p>\n<p>Ong noted that some of China\u2019s largest institutional investors have been taking cornerstone stakes in new REIT IPOs, which has helped to counterbalance falling activity from overseas players as interest rates climb in most Western markets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mingtiandi.com\/real-estate\/events\/oxford-ivanhoe-kic-savills-on-singapore-india-markets\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"adv-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"14 NOVEMBER 2023 conrad centennial Singapore\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mingtiandi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/14-NOVEMBER-2023-conrad-centennial-Singapore.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mingtiandi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/14-NOVEMBER-2023-conrad-centennial-Singapore.jpg 780w, https:\/\/www.mingtiandi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/14-NOVEMBER-2023-conrad-centennial-Singapore-400x128.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.mingtiandi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/14-NOVEMBER-2023-conrad-centennial-Singapore-640x205.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" width=\"780\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Stock Connect, a program which allows investors to cross the border between Hong Kong and mainland China through exchanges in the two locations could in the future add REITs to its scope, which would further boost liquidity for the sector, Ong said.<\/p>\n<h3>Fundamentals Still Strong<\/h3>\n<p>While trades of logistics assets in China have slowed in the last year, the industry leaders expect the country\u2019s economic recovery and strong fundamentals to support a rebound in leasing.<\/p>\n<p>Hubert Chak, executive director and CEO of Hong Kong-listed SF REIT shared insights on the health of the e-commerce sector, which drives much of warehouse demand, from the performance of the REIT\u2019s sponsor, SF Holdings, which is responsible for the largest share of deliveries for mainland China\u2019s online shoppers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom what I saw from our group\u2019s Q1 operating data, the express delivery, in terms of number of parcels delivered, in Q1 increased by 18 percent, which means the operators, in particular the logistics express delivery business, they still require more space to grow their business, which is good for the landlords,\u201d Chak said.<\/p>\n<p>For Peter Hwang, chief executive of Blackstone\u2019s DragonCor platform, which manages the US private equity giant\u2019s new economy assets in China, including more than 40 logistics parks in 18 cities, the long-term outlook for warehouse assets in China remains solid.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are still long term bullish on the sector. I think there&#8217;s a lot of fundamental attributes to the consumer market and demographics that are quite favourable to continue to grow the demand for warehouse space,\u201d Hwang said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that China\u2019s middle class population, deep mobile penetration and culture of online shopping will continue to support e-commerce growth, and with it warehouse leasing.<\/p>\n<p>While e-commerce contributes nearly half of ESR\u2019s tenants in China, Bo told the forum that his company also sees growing tenant demand from other market segments powered by the country\u2019s fast-growing tech sector.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are trying to get some new hotspot to develop in the future and one is life science, R&amp;D, and lab centres and high-end manufacturing sites, especially in rural areas. Those are the key new products we are trying to develop and lease to capture the market in the coming years, but we still focus on e-commerce which is our number one source of tenants,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<h3>Tokyo Sheds Up Next<\/h3>\n<p>Following Tuesday\u2019s session, Mingtiandi\u2019s four-part logistics forum will be back on Thursday, 18 May, for a panel <a
