HONG KONG / NEW YORK / VANCOUVER – January 5, 2026 – Following a year of historic growth and regional expansion, ELIM Investment Management (“ELIM”) is proud to announce the successful conclusion of its 2025 fiscal year. Together with our valued property managers, sponsors in North America, and our esteemed equity partners, ELIM has fortified its position as a leader in the multifamily (MF) sector, navigating market dynamics to deliver exceptional value.
A Year of Strategic Co-Investments and Portfolio Excellence
2025 marked a period of disciplined capital deployment and the strengthening of institutional ties. Key highlights from our 2025 journey include:
- Co-Investing with Global Giants in Dallas: In a major show of market confidence, ELIM significantly scaled its footprint by co-investing alongside major global institutions to add four premier multifamily assets in the Dallas Knox Henderson district to our portfolio. These value-add projects are currently undergoing modernization to meet the high demand of one of Texas’s most vibrant neighborhoods.
- Strategic Resilience in Austin (The Grand at Manor): The Austin market is currently navigating a period of supply-demand recalibration. While the short term requires specialized effort and tactical management, ELIM remains fully confident in the medium and long-term fundamentals. The Austin metro’s economic diversity and population growth trajectory ensure it remains one of the most compelling rental markets in the U.S. for patient capital.
- Virginia Opportunistic Development: Closing the year with a forward-looking vision, ELIM participated in a Virginia opportunistic MF development project. This represents Phase 2 of a successful multifamily community in Loudoun County, highlighting our ability to identify and scale high-potential sites.
Portfolio Milestones: From Development to Delivery
Our broader portfolio of development projects remains firmly on track, with several landmark communities entering their next chapter:
- Project Pearl (Charleston, SC) & Victory (Savannah, GA): We are pleased to report that these major multifamily developments are reaching completion. Both projects have successfully entered the leasing phase, bringing high-quality housing to these rapidly growing coastal markets.
- Student Housing Success: Our student housing sector continues to deliver robust performance, with assets like Commons at Knoxville and Lodge on the Trail providing stable, recession-resilient returns.
Bridging Continents: The Asia Gateway
A defining achievement of 2025 was the official launch of ELIM’s first Asia office in Hong Kong. This strategic hub was established to better service our partners in the APAC region, providing seamless access to institutional-grade North American real estate. The office has already become a vital link for our equity partners seeking geographical diversification and sustainable wealth preservation.
2026 Outlook: Why Multifamily Performance Remains Strong
As we look into 2026, the institutional Multifamily market continues to show incredible resilience. Taking reference from the latest industry insights (Marcus & Millichap), ELIM remains bullish on the following “tailwinds”:
- Supply Scarcity: The dramatic slowdown in new construction starts over the past 24 months has created a supply vacuum that will favor existing owners as we move through 2026.
- The Renting Advantage: With homeownership costs remaining significantly higher than average rents, the “renter-by-necessity” cohort is expanding, supporting high renewal rates.
- Economic Reacceleration: As market uncertainty abates, household formation is expected to reaccelerate, further tightening vacancy rates in core Sunbelt and Atlantic markets.
Perspectives from ELIM Leadership
“2025 was about execution and alignment. By co-investing alongside global institutional giants and moving our development projects into the leasing phase, we have proven the strength of our platform. We enter 2026 with a robust, diversified portfolio.” — Harvey Li, Managing Director, ELIM Investment Management
“In 2025, we witnessed a profound shift in the appetite of Asian institutional and High-Net-Worth (HNW) investors. Diversification and strategic asset allocation are no longer just ‘topics’—they are the core focus. As global market volatility persists, Multifamily (MF) has emerged as a top-tier alternative asset that investors must bet on for its defensive nature and consistent yield. Our role in 2026 is to ensure our partners have the direct, institutional-grade access they need to thrive in this new landscape.” — Stanley Kung, Managing Director, ELIM Investment Management
“The launch of our Hong Kong office has transformed how we engage with the APAC market. We are now closer to our partners than ever before, ensuring that the momentum we built in 2025 carries directly into 2026.” — Dirk Chan, ELIM Hong Kong
