Far East Hospitality Trust expands into Japan with Sheraton hotel purchase

The company will acquire Four Points by Sheraton Nagoya for $52.8m.

Far East Hospitality Trust is expanding into Japan with the acquisition of Four Points by Sheraton Nagoya for $52.8m (JP¥6b) and an operating company, which will serve as the property's master lessee, for $0.4m (JP¥0.05b).

The purchase price of $52.8m (JP¥6b) represents a 23.0% discount on the independent valuation of $68.6m (JP¥7.79b).

Four Points by Sheraton Nagoya is a freehold 319-room upscale hotel property managed by Marriott International Inc.

The property also offers development potential, with 6,750 sqm of land currently leased to a car park operator. Subject to planning approval, this land can be repurposed for a new hotel.

Far East Hospitality Trust believes entering the Japanese market will allow it to tap into a new growth vector.

In 2024, Japan achieved a 47.1% year-on-year (YoY) growth in tourism, with 36.9 million international visitors. By 2030, Japan is targeting 60.0 million visitors and JP¥5.0T in tourism spending.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
