In a partnership with Korean startup Weave Living, the firm acquired a property near Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station in Seoul for approximately 22.5 billion won ($16.72 million). This property will be transformed into a 62-unit serviced apartment complex, slated to open early next year.\n\nThis marks Nuveen's entry into Korea's residential real estate market, which it first explored in 2019 through a logistics investment in Namyangju, Gyeonggi Province. Prior to that, the asset manager expanded its presence in Korean real estate by acquiring logistics facilities in Uiwang and Ilsan. Despite the growing institutional interest in Korea's housing market, Nuveen remains optimistic about the future.",
