# ESR received a capital injection of 1.143 billion yuan for the growth of logistics real estate and data centers | Lianhe Zaobao

ESR Group has secured a $850 million (approximately SGD 1.143 billion) equity investment to accelerate long-term growth and strengthen its balance sheet.

The group announced on Thursday (April 9) that the funds were contributed by existing shareholders and supported by leading global investors.

ESR noted that the funds will primarily be directed towards the growth plans of its logistics real estate and data center platforms.

Phil Pearce, President of ESR Group, stated that the company has entered the next phase of growth. In the future, it will focus on logistics real estate and data centers, accelerating development and financing while driving continuous growth in leasing and capital deployment.

He also mentioned that as global capital continues to flow into the Asia-Pacific region, investors are increasingly favoring management companies with a strong local market foundation, clear strategic direction, and mature execution capabilities in a volatile market environment.

ESR completed its privatization last July and is currently advancing its long-term strategic transformation, aiming to create a more focused business.

In line with this strategy, the company has simplified its investment portfolio by divesting non-core assets and restructuring since January last year, obtaining over $2 billion in net funds to reinvest in core growth areas
