He said that, as a long-term value investor, GIC was confident in the continued growth and demand in Japan.
“In partnership with Invincible Investment Corporation, we will seek to enhance the Sheraton Grande Tokyo Bay Hotel and support it in its next phase of growth,” said Lee.
“We have been investing in Japan for more than 20 years and are continually on the lookout for quality assets with stable cash-flow potential.”
