SEOUL – JULY 28, 2025 – Blackstone today announced that Blackstone Real Estate Partners (“Blackstone”) has acquired through QUBE Industrial Asset Management funds a high-quality, last-mile logistics portfolio in the Seoul Metropolitan Area.
The portfolio comprises two modern, Grade A logistics centers spanning 1.3 million square feet in Gimpo and Namyangju, which are among Greater Seoul’s most sought-after infill markets. Tenants include some of the largest local and global corporations in e-commerce and logistics.
Chris Kim, Head of Blackstone Real Estate – Korea, said: “This is a continuation of our commitment to investing in prime Korean assets in fast-growing sectors. Logistics is one of our highest conviction investment themes in real estate globally and a focus for us in South Korea, particularly in the Seoul Metropolitan Area where last-mile new supply remains extremely limited and vacancy for such assets is at a low 4% range. We are pleased to bring together our global expertise and scale in the sector, asset management capabilities, and local insights, to continue to grow the platform for long-term success.”
Blackstone has been an active investor in Korean real estate since establishing the team three years ago. Last year, it completed three major transactions, including investing in a large multi-story logistics asset in Gimpo; buying an office building in Seoul’s Gangnam district to convert into a select-service hotel in partnership with Travelodge Asia; and closing the landmark sale of Arc Place after years of work to transform the asset into a premier office building in Seoul.
