About ESR Group Limited
ESR is Asia-Pacific's largest real asset manager focused on the new economy, specialising in the property that underpins e-commerce and the digital economy: logistics parks, data centres and prime commercial assets. According to its official website, the group manages around US$60.9 billion of assets and employs more than 1,100 people across thirteen countries.
The group began in 2011 in Shanghai as e-Shang, a warehousing platform backed by Warburg Pincus, and took its current form after merging with Redwood in 2016; it has been listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange since 2019. Its model combines investment, fund management and in-house development: it builds and operates large-format warehouses for e-commerce, third-party logistics operators and distribution, as well as data centres in the region's main markets.
In mainland China — its home market and one of its largest asset bases — ESR develops logistics hubs around the major metropolitan areas, while also operating in Japan, South Korea, Australia, India, Singapore and Southeast Asia. Its typical tenants are e-commerce platforms, retailers and logistics providers that need modern, well-connected facilities close to consumption centres.
