A Vantage-occupied facility in Hong Kong has been acquired by the Asia Pacific Cities Fund (APCF). The complex acquired is located at 43 Container Port Road. It is also a fully occupied data center with a 14MW capacity across 270,000 square feet of gross floor area. The deal was worth HK$2.88 billion ($371 million). According to APCF, the deal is a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Asia Pacific Cities Fund is a part of US asset manager Nuveen. Louise Kavanagh, the chief investment officer at Nuveen, said Hong Kong is a vital technology and financial hub.
