Weave Living has again been selected for ‘Residential Investor of the Year: Asia Pacific’ at the PERE Awards 2025. CEO of The Living Company was also recognised at the awards.
The Weave team reached many milestones throughout the year. The firm continued to invest actively throughout the region’s gateway cities from its existing mandates, whilst also making further in-roads in each of its markets pursuing new strategies.
Weave’s highlights of last year included establishing its second Korean investment program with one of the world’s most prolific sovereign wealth funds, establishment of its first domestic fund in Japan backed by MUFG, multiple successful exits in Japan, and, significantly, entering the Australian market with its debut Build to Rent acquisition in Sydney.
The company’s first Sydney scheme will comprise around 80 fully furnished Build to Rent studio apartments for the growing cohort of young professionals, young couples and students in the city.
The site sits adjacent from the Broadway Shopping Centre, surrounded by rich social amenities, a vibrant cafe and restaurant scene and is flanked by some of Australia’s top universities. It is only a short ten-minute ride by public transport into the CBD.
“While what we are building isn’t for the accolades, to be recognised not once, but twice for the amazing work the Weave team is doing throughout the region is deeply gratifying and extra motivation to push ourselves to the next level.
“Thank you to all our partners, investors, stakeholders, well-wishers and the fantastic 180-strong Weave Living team. This win is for you and wouldn’t have been possible without you.”
Statement, Weave Living
2026 is already shaping to be another banner year for Weave Living as it continues to progress and be at the forefront of rapid institutionalisation of the sector in the APAC region.
None of the winners in the Global categories repeated their success from the previous year. The total number of awards presented remained unchanged at 48, although several categories were updated to reflect evolving industry dynamics. However, two new awards were introduced.
It was reported that the judging process remained ‘highly robust’, with additional criteria implemented to broaden the range of recipients. Under the revised framework, a firm securing a Global award was no longer eligible to also take the regional prize in the same category, while greater emphasis was placed on fundraising performance rather than capital deployment. As a result, the awards were widely distributed, with no single organisation emerging as a dominant winner.
