- Hanwha REIT Co., Ltd. is a South Korea-based real estate investment trust sponsored by Hanwha Group that specializes in the acquisition, ownership, management, leasing, and disposal of prime commercial real estate properties. Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, the company is managed by Hanwha Asset Management Co., Ltd. and focuses on high-quality office assets strategically situated across prime metropolitan business hubs. Hanwha REIT Co., Ltd. conducts its operations through a real estate investment and property leasing segment, offering real estate investment vehicles and management solutions comprising commercial office leasing and space management services; property management, tenant relations, and facility operation; portfolio acquisition and real estate asset optimization; long-term corporate master lease structuring; and regular dividend distribution to individual and institutional investors. The company manages a portfolio of core office properties across the Seoul Central Business District, the Yeouido Business District, and the Greater Seoul Metropolitan Area, including the landmark Hanwha Janggyo-dong Headquarters Building, the Hanwha General Insurance Yeouido Building, and regional commercial office buildings in Nowon, Guri, Pyeongchon, Jung-dong, and Bupyeong. The trust leases its commercial space primarily to creditworthy affiliates of Hanwha Group, such as Hanwha Life Insurance, Hanwha Corporation, Hanwha Solutions, and Hanwha General Insurance, under long-term leases that provide high occupancy rates and stable cash flows. In recent developments, Hanwha REIT Co., Ltd. significantly expanded its asset base and total assets under management by completing the acquisition of the prime Hanwha Janggyo-dong headquarters building in central Seoul from sponsor Hanwha Life Insurance. To fund this large-scale asset incorporation and optimize its capital structure, the company executed a comprehensive paid-in capital increase through a public rights offering, expanding its equity capital base, enhancing liquidity, and solidifying its position among South Korea's premier sponsor-backed commercial office REITs.
