Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves1 record

Broad incumbents

• Daiwa House Industry: Large Japanese real estate and construction group with a substantial logistics facility business (Daiwa House Logistics REIT) covering development, leasing, and asset management. Overlaps with CRE's full-stack logistics real estate model but operates at much larger scale across multiple real estate verticals.
• Tokyo Tatemono: Established Japanese real estate developer expanding into logistics facilities alongside its office and residential businesses. Comparable in that it combines development, leasing, and asset management under one group, though logistics is a newer growth pillar for them.
• Mitsubishi Estate: Diversified Japanese real estate conglomerate with a growing logistics property segment alongside office, retail, and residential. Comparable as a broad incumbent expanding into logistics development and operating J-REIT-adjacent vehicles.
• Mitsui Fudosan: Diversified Japanese real estate developer with an active logistics facility business and Mitsui Fudosan Logistics Park Inc. (a J-REIT). Comparable to CRE as a logistics developer and asset manager, though embedded within a much larger mixed-use portfolio.

Others

• Sembcorp Industries: Singapore-based infrastructure and urban development group that is CRE's joint venture partner for Vietnam logistics operations (Sembcorp Infra Services). Relevant as both a strategic partner and a regional infrastructure operator with overlapping logistics real estate interests in Southeast Asia.

Emerging players

• ESR Group: APAC-focused logistics and data center real estate platform with significant Japan and Southeast Asia exposure through ESR-REIT and related vehicles. Comparable as a regional logistics real estate platform combining development, fund management, and cross-border capital.

Direct peers

• LaSalle Logiport REIT: J-REIT specializing in logistics properties in Japan, managed by LaSalle Investment Management. Directly comparable to CRE's CRE REIT Advisors business as a logistics-focused REIT sponsor competing for institutional capital and stabilized assets.
• Nippon Prologis (Prologis Japan): Japan's largest logistics real estate developer and REIT sponsor, operating a national network of modern large-scale distribution centers. Directly comparable as a logistics-focused developer and asset manager in Japan with overlapping tenant base and product offering.
• GLP Japan: Major logistics real estate developer and fund manager in Japan, operating large multi-tenant facilities similar in scale and function to CRE's LogiSquare portfolio. Direct competitor for tenants, capital partners, and development sites across Japan's main logistics corridors.

Regional players

• Mapletree Logistics Trust: Singapore-listed Asia-Pacific logistics REIT with assets across Japan, China, Southeast Asia, and Australia. Comparable as a logistics-focused REIT and development platform, particularly relevant given CRE's Southeast Asia expansion strategy and Singapore headquarters.
