- Land and Houses Residential Freehold and Leasehold Real Estate Investment Trust (SET: LHRREIT) is a Thailand-based real estate investment trust focused on investing in, holding, and managing a diversified portfolio of prime residential and hospitality real estate assets. Sponsored by Land and Houses Public Company Limited, the trust is managed by Land and Houses Fund Management Co., Ltd., with SCB Asset Management Co., Ltd. serving as the trustee and Q. H. International Co., Ltd. acting as the property manager. The trust seeks to generate stable, long-term revenue and consistent distributions for unitholders through property leasing, accommodation services, and active asset management across core metropolitan districts in Bangkok, Thailand.
The trust's property portfolio and service offerings comprise freehold and leasehold rights in high-end serviced apartment towers and luxury residential estates, including: Centre Point Sukhumvit-Thonglor, a 156-key executive serviced apartment property in the Thonglor district offering fully furnished short- and long-stay accommodations, conference and meeting facilities, recreational swimming pools, fitness centers, and comprehensive hospitality services; Centre Point Residence Phromphong, a 24-story luxury high-rise development on Sukhumvit 39 comprising 76 expansive three- and four-bedroom residential units equipped with squash and tennis courts, fitness facilities, and family-oriented amenities; and L&H Villa Sathon, an exclusive leasehold gated community of luxury detached rental villas featuring private swimming pools, landscaped grounds, and 24-hour security infrastructure situated in Bangkok's central business district. The trust caters primarily to multinational corporate executives, expatriate families, long-term residential tenants, and international business travelers.
In recent corporate developments, the trust completed a comprehensive restructuring and conversion from its predecessor closed-end property fund, Land and Houses Freehold and Leasehold Property Fund (originally established in 2012), into a modern real estate investment trust structure. Following unitholder approvals and regulatory clearances in 2024, the fund executed the full transfer of all underlying real estate assets, rights, and operational obligations to the newly established trust in November 2024. The conversion culminated in the official delisting of the legacy property fund and the commencement of public trading of LHRREIT units on the Stock Exchange of Thailand on December 11, 2024. This strategic reorganization provides the vehicle with greater operational agility, improved financing avenues, and an optimized framework for future asset acquisitions and long-term unitholder distributions. LHRREIT is headquartered in Bangkok, Thailand.
