Accor chairman and chief executive officer Denis Hennequin said the operation reflects the group’s ability to attract investors.

“After the successful acquisition of Mirvac in Australia and New Zealand, we consolidate our presence in the Asia-Pacific region with an extremely well established partner, through an investment vehicle that will allow us to speed up both our expansion, but also our asset management policy in the region,” Hennequin added.

Ascendas provides business space solutions with key markets in Singapore, China, India, South Korea and South-East Asia including Vietnam, Malaysia and Philippines.
