Nuveen’s Asia Pacific Cities Fund (APCF) has acquired a key logistics facility in the Greater Seoul area.
The firm said it partnered with Sang Investment to provide investment operations and capability on the ground in South Korea.

APCF was originally launched in November 2018 and aimed to focus on selected ‘future-proof’ cities across the Asia Pacific region.
