Warburg Pincus began investing in Asia real estate in 2005. Today, it has become one of the largest and most active investors in the region, with over US$9 billion invested in more than 50 real estate platforms and ventures. The firm is a pioneer of platform investing and has co-founded or sponsored leading platforms alongside best-in-class entrepreneurs such as ESR, DNE, Vincom Retail, BW Industrial, Princeton Digital Group, Weave Living, and StorHub.

With the growing impact of technological advancements and the rise of e-commerce on real estate, the firm is focused on tech-enabled new economy real estate sectors. Today, logistics, data centers, life sciences infrastructure and for-rent living account for two-thirds of the firm’s real estate portfolio.

In 2021, we closed our Asia Real Estate Fund at $2.8bn, making it one of the largest ever first-time dedicated real estate funds globally and one of the largest active opportunistic real estate funds in Asia.
