What a real estate investor backs

A property investor backs buildings with steady income. In Hong Kong that often means prime office towers.

Developers build; REITs and funds hold and trade. Compare them to Wellington real estate investors too.

They study your leases, tenants, and building grade. A clean real estate deal room speeds up the sale.

Ellty gives each buyer one trackable link to your data room. You see who studied the leases before the first offer.

Commercial office and retail

Hong Kong office is under real pressure right now. Vacancy sits near 14% right across the whole market.

Buyers want strong tenants and long, firm leases. Half-empty office towers are a hard sell right now.

Show your full rent roll and all your lease terms. Run clean due diligence well before any deal closes.

See how a data room for real estate deals works. Ellty logs exactly who opened each file and when.

Residential and logistics

Hong Kong residential is finally turning a corner. Logistics demand also keeps growing steadily here.

Buyers want sites with clear title and clean zoning. Murky consents scare most of these big buyers off.

Show your titles, consents, and yield numbers. Many funds run much like a private equity shop.

Weak title records will lose property buyers fast. Ellty shows who read your files and exactly when.

Property funds and REITs

Not every HK deal is a giant developer-led play. REITs and PE funds trade many smaller assets too.

Gaw Capital and PAG both raise big global funds. They want clear records on every single asset.

Keep your asset and lease data all in one place. Lock it all down with strong data security.

Read up on real estate due diligence early on. Ellty tracks who reads each file you send.
