GIC, Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund, is contemplating the sale of its stake in a central Tokyo office building, valued at several hundred billion yen. The property, part of Pacific Century Place Marunouchi, was acquired for about 180 billion yen in 2014. Jones Lang LaSalle and Mizuho Trust & Banking are advising on the sale, targeting potential buyers amid strong investor demand for Tokyo commercial properties. However, concerns over rising interest rates may impact the real estate market. GIC recently relocated its office from the building to a larger space nearby.

Japan's recent bond market turmoil is hindering fundraising for real estate investment trusts (Reits), which have already seen a significant decline in capital raising due to rising financing costs. In 2025, listed Reits raised only 74 billion yen, the lowest since 2009. Concerns over increased borrowing costs amid higher interest rates are expected to make fresh fundraising challenging in the first half of the year. The Tokyo Stock Exchange Reit Index has dropped 2.5% since January 20, reflecting the impact of the bond market's volatility and rising inflation costs for real estate managers.
