Controversy level
- JRE, Japan's oldest J-REIT, is managed by an asset manager wholly owned by its sponsor Mitsubishi Estate, and it repeatedly acquires office assets from that sponsor and leases them back — e.g., a March 2026 purchase of a further 9% of Shinjuku Eastside Square for ¥20.4 billion (~$128M), building its stake through transactions with Mitsubishi Estate since 2014. This recurring related-party dealing is the J-REIT sector's signature conflict-of-interest risk, where the manager may transact for the sponsor's benefit at unitholders' expense.
