A global institutional investor has made an A$220m (€125.4m) commitment to a Realterm-managed logistics fund that has now closed.

Global logistics manager Realterm said its second Australian fund, focused on transport-advantaged logistics real estate like first mile, transload, final-mile facilities and industrial outdoor storage, was anchored by the unnamed investor.

Bastian van Halder, managing director, Asia Pacific at Realterm, said: “Realterm is excited about the launch of its latest Australia fund with one of our long-standing global capital partners as the anchor investor.

“The successful closing demonstrates the strong investor confidence in our differentiated investment approach and the continued demand for transport-advantaged logistics real estate in Australia.”

The fund is the second Realterm fund in Australia and its eleventh globally.

Toni Ryan, fund manager, Australia at Realterm, said: “The Australian logistics sector continues to provide favourable dynamics combining low national vacancy rates with attractive prime yields.

“We appreciate our anchor investor’s continued support of Realterm’s global investment strategy.”
