Mitsubishi Estate has acquired a majority stake in Patron Capital, a European private equity property fund manager, marking a notable increase in Japanese investment in the UK real estate sector. Separately, UK property investor Long Harbour has proposed a £631.6 million ($852 million) takeover bid for Britain's PRS REIT at a price below the current market value, which caused PRS REIT shares to decline by around 2%. These developments reflect ongoing activity and strategic investments within the UK property market.
