PATRIZIA and Mitsui launch new flagship strategy for sustainable infrastructure investments in APAC - Seite 2

Graham Matthews, CEO of PATRIZIA Infrastructure, said: “The launch of our new APAC strategy is a real game-changer for PATRIZIA. It provides significant capital to really accelerate our next phase of growth in the Asia-Pacific region, which remains a core pillar of our mid-term growth strategy. For nearly four decades, we have been a strategic partner for our clients and successfully expanded our range of investment solutions. With this new launch, we are offering our largest-ever infrastructure strategy in APAC that delivers much broader investment opportunities across the entire real assets sector. Furthermore, our proven long-term partnership with Mitsui over the last c.15 years demonstrates that we remain a strong and trusted partner to our clients in these times of continued uncertainty.”

Launching PATRIZIA’s flagship infrastructure strategy in APAC
The new initiative will invest in sustainable infrastructure assets in the key developed APAC markets of Australia, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, New Zealand and Taiwan, as well as in select developing Asian markets.

Aligned to PATRIZIA’s broader investment strategy, the investments will help address the global megatrends of decarbonisation, digitalisation, urbanisation and demographic changes. The investment strategy will primarily focus on mid-market brownfield opportunities in the four core sectors of energy, digital, social and mobility, targeting assets such as solar and wind farms, battery storage, data centres, social infrastructure and EV charging stations. Each investment will aim to deliver strong financial returns alongside positive sustainable outcomes in line with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.

Saji Anantakrishnan, Head of Infrastructure for Australia and Asia at PATRIZIA, said: “As the world’s top growth region, Asia-Pacific is an extremely compelling proposition for investors thanks to its favourable macroeconomic conditions, as well as the growing supply-demand imbalance for strategic infrastructure investments. Governments alone cannot finance this transition, opening up enormous opportunities for private capital to shape the future development and prosperity of the region. Our new APAC strategy is perfectly positioned to capitalise on these market dynamics, as well as the wider global megatrends that are shaping economies around the world. With some 15,000 boots on the ground in APAC through the PATRIZIA-Mitsui partnership, we are excited to deliver the highly attractive combination of both stable and sustainable returns for our investors.”
