TOKYO — April 8, 2026 — Global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP represented Brookfield Asset Management, a leading global alternative asset manager with more than US$1 trillion in assets under management, in the acquisition and financing of a landmark office building complex in central Tokyo, Japan.
Designed by noted French architect Jean Nouvel, the 48-story, 1.3 million-sq.-ft. tower in Tokyo’s Shiodome area serves as the global headquarters of Dentsu Group. The complex also incorporates retail facilities and a theatre. Brookfield acquired the Class A property from a consortium of Japanese investors.
Greenberg Traurig’s Tokyo team advised on all aspects of the transaction, including due diligence, entity formation and structuring, negotiation of purchase and sale documents, advice on key operational agreements, including asset, property management and other service agreements, and the structure, documentation and closing of complex multilayered financing, including the issuance of TMK bonds.
“It was an honor to guide Brookfield on this strategic investment in one of Tokyo’s most significant office assets to trade in recent years,” said Greenberg Traurig Shareholder Joel H. Rothstein, chair of the firm’s Asia Real Estate Practice. “The matter required close, real‑time collaboration with Brookfield’s teams in Japan, Singapore, and the United States, and we worked seamlessly together to help advance their long‑term strategy in a key global market,” added Ayako Kawano, a real estate Shareholder in the Tokyo office of Greenberg Traurig, and key lead attorney in the transaction.
In addition to Rothstein and Kawano, the Greenberg Traurig deal team included Tokyo Shareholder Makoto Koinuma, Local Partner Hiroshi Hara, Associates Shuhei Mikiya and Yusuke Watanabe, Judicial Scrivener Miyako Fukunishi, and Paralegal Aya Suzuki.
