Morgan Stanley wins bidding for ANA hotels
Morgan Stanley has won the fiercely contested bidding to buy 13 hotels from All Nippon Airways, the Japanese airline, for Y281.3bn, in the largest property ever deal in Japan. The deal, which overshadows the sale last year of Richard Li's Pacific Century Group building in Tokyo to KK Da Vinci Advisers, Japan's largest private real estate fund, for Y200bn, highlights the recent sharp rebound of Japan's property market. The ANA sale comes on the heels of figures showing that Japanese land prices rose last year for the first time in 16 years. Morgan Stanley has been a significant investor in Japan's property market, buying assets and exiting through the capital markets. The business has been extremely lucrative for the investment bank, particularly as it was able to acquire heavily distressed assets in the past.
