J-REIT 20-name reference matrix

TL;DR

This page is a 20-name editorial reference set, not a current top-20 ranking, market-cap league table, or investable screen. It preserves a cross-sector issuer sample while routing every row to official issuer evidence. Live market capitalization, AUM, LTV, distribution per unit (DPU), NAV per unit, occupancy, tenants, and sponsor holdings must be refreshed from the JPX listed-REIT directory and each issuer’s latest disclosure.

The reference set includes domestic-developer, financial-group, trading-house, global logistics-platform, and asset-manager relationships. Sponsor classifications can change through mergers and asset-manager ownership transactions, so current legal names and relationships take priority over the historical labels preserved in older commentary. See J-REIT sponsor structure and conflict of interest.

For sector context, pair the matrix with logistics J-REIT vs office J-REIT asset-class comparison; for the US comparison frame, use J-REIT vs US REIT governance comparison.

Wiki route

This entry sits under real-estate-finance index as a named-issuer reference matrix. It is not a continuation of the shorter top 10 J-REIT overview matrix and does not claim that the same names rank highest today. Read it against the per-REIT pages where they exist: Nippon Building Fund (NBF, 8951), Japan Real Estate (JRE, 8952), Nomura Real Estate Master Fund (NMF, 3462), GLP J-REIT (3281), Nippon Prologis REIT (3283). System frame: J-REIT market overview, J-REIT vs US REIT governance comparison, J-REIT sponsor structure and conflict, J-REIT foreign-investor ownership, J-REIT dividend yield vs JGB spread, cap-rate compression 2026.

Sponsor-side developer entries: Mitsui Fudosan financing model, Mitsubishi Estate financing model, AEON Mall financing and securitization. Role context: trust bank custody operating comparison for separately identifying an investment corporation’s asset custodian / administrators and any property-level trust trustee; no single trustee layer is assumed behind every J-REIT.

1. The 20-name reference set

Row evidence (reviewed 2026-07-29): every REIT name links directly to its official IR portal; current codes and legal names are cross-checked against the JPX listed-REIT directory. The row number is an editorial reference number, not a ranking.

The matrix deliberately omits approximate AUM, market-cap bands, LTV zones, yield zones, and directional NAV / DPU labels. Those fields are date-sensitive and cannot be reproduced reliably from a static, unsourced league-table snapshot.

2. Asset-class mix inside this reference set

Table evidence (reviewed 2026-07-29): this is a deterministic re-cut of the broad-focus field in the row-linked master table above. Counts describe only this selected set and say nothing about the full JPX universe or current market-cap weights.

3. Sponsor / asset-manager relationship matrix

Table evidence (reviewed 2026-07-29): relationship labels are derived from the official issuer portals linked in the master table. “Related” does not by itself specify ownership percentage, pipeline rights, or the current sponsor stake.

This classification is descriptive and non-exclusive; it is not a sponsor-quality score.

4. LTV comparison protocol

Table evidence (reviewed 2026-07-29): the master-table issuer links are the source route for current LTV disclosures. No static “typical” band is assigned here.

5. Tenant-concentration protocol

Table evidence (reviewed 2026-07-29): tenant concentration must be rebuilt from each issuer’s portfolio and major-tenant disclosures linked in the master table.

Asset class is not a substitute for issuer evidence: logistics properties may be single- or multi-tenant, and office / retail portfolios can still have material tenant concentration.

6. Sponsor geography and ownership

Row evidence (reviewed 2026-07-29): GLP J-REIT, Nippon Prologis REIT, IIF, and KDX Realty illustrate why a binary “foreign versus domestic” count can be misleading after asset-manager ownership transactions.

7. Trustee verification

Table evidence (reviewed 2026-07-29): the FSA regulatory overview and JPX J-REIT Guidebook explain the institutional framework. Corporation-level appointments and property-level trust roles must be taken from the applicable current disclosure.

See trust bank custody operating comparison for the functional framework.

8. NAV and DPU refresh protocol

Table evidence (reviewed 2026-07-29): current values come from the official issuer portals in the master table; market price and current listing status should be checked through JPX.

The former static 2024-2025 direction labels were removed because they mixed periods, definitions, and unsupported sector generalizations.

9. Sub-cluster examples

Table evidence (reviewed 2026-07-29): names and relationships are derived from the row-linked issuer portals. These are research groupings, not recommendations or correlation claims.

Reading the matrix

Use sponsor / asset-manager relationships as one governance lens, then verify current ownership and related-party rules. Use asset class as an exposure label, not as evidence of cap rates, occupancy, lease duration, or tenant concentration. LTV, DPU, NAV, and yield comparisons require aligned dates and definitions.

JPX investor-type statistics measure aggregate J-REIT trading flow and do not identify beneficial ownership or prove rotation between office and logistics names. A sector-flow claim needs issuer-level market data or disclosed fund holdings. Rate and cap-rate context should likewise be drawn from dated series; see J-REIT dividend yield vs JGB spread and real estate cap-rate compression 2026.

What this matrix does not tell you

• Live ranking by market cap: use current JPX / ARES data.
• Exact AUM, LTV, DPU, NAV per unit, occupancy, or tenant exposure: use each issuer’s latest disclosure.
• Sponsor or asset-manager quality: this requires issuer-specific governance and performance review.
• Future performance or portfolio construction: the reference number and grouping carry no recommendation.

10. Source-control checklist

Table evidence (reviewed 2026-07-29): JPX listed-REIT directory, ARES J-REIT statistics, JPX investor-type statistics, JCR, R&I, and the row-linked issuer portals above.

This checklist supports reproducible J-REIT analysis from public sources only.
