Lendlease has today announced the completion of the sale of its life sciences interests in Asia to a 50/50 Joint Venture with Warburg Pincus, creating a specialist real estate platform focussed on the fast-growing life sciences sector in Asia Pacific.
The Joint Venture has been seeded with the transfer of Lendlease’s LINO interests, including Leaf, a recently completed life sciences workplace in Yokohama, Japan, with new investors and additional capital to be brought onto the platform as it sources new investment opportunities.
The transaction is expected to contribute approximately $80m to FY25 Operating Profit after Tax.
