J-REIT Deregulation – Opportunities for Players in Non-Japanese Real Estate Markets
5 July 2013
To date, J-REITs have been focusing on Japanese real estate markets for various reasons but this approach may be changing. J-REITs are expected to start looking into non-Japanese real estate markets due to the recent deregulation which is to be implemented in 2014. The deregulation is not only an opportunity for J-REITs to diversify their portfolio but also for players in non-Japanese real estate markets, although this is of course subject to details of the cabinet orders regarding the interpretation of the statute which are to be published later this year or early 2014.
This briefing note summarises the deregulation as well as potential opportunities for players in the real estate market.
