Alternative investment manager Ares Management Corporation has completed the final close of its fifth Japan-focused logistics real estate fund, Japan Logistics Development Partners V LP (JDP V), hitting its hard cap at ¥612 billion ($4 billion).

The fundraise marks Ares Real Estate’s largest closed-end institutional vehicle to date and represents a near 50% expansion over its 2021 predecessor fund, JDP IV, which raised ¥412 billion. The close follows Ares' acquisition of GCP International in March 2025.
