History
ESR was formed in January 2016 as the result of a merger between e-Shang and the Redwood Group to form e-Shang Redwood which is better known as ESR.[3][4] e-Shang was a Shanghai-based logistics platform that was co-founded by Shen Jinchu and Sun Dongping along with private equity firm, Warburg Pincus.[3] The Redwood Group was a Singapore-based logistics platform founded in 2006 by Stuart Gibson and Charles de Portes who were former employees of Prologis.[5]
In November 2018, ESR acquired Sydney based real estate investment manager, Propertylink for $522 million leading to its delisting from the Australian Securities Exchange in 2019.[6]
In June 2019, ESR announced an initial public offering by listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange but postponed its plans due to poor market conditions.[7] On 1 November 2019, ESR completed its initial listing where it raised US$1.6 billion.[7]
In August 2021, ESR announced it would acquire Singaporean Real Estate management firm, ARA Asset Management for US$5.2 billion.[8][9] On 20 January 2022, ESR completed its acquisition of ARA Asset Management. This led to ESR having US$140 billion assets under management making it the third-largest listed real estate investment manager globally.[1] The acquisition also included LOGOS, an Australian logistics real estate firm which was a subsidiary of ARA Asset Management.[1]
