Three of these new acquisitions are located in Tokyo’s upscale Minato ward neighbourhoods of Roppongi, Minami Azabu and Shirokane. WEAVE LIVING will also introduce its premium WEAVE RESIDENCES brand as part of its Roppongi and Minami Azabu offerings, featuring luxurious, metropolitan living in spacious, fully furnished family-friendly homes, complete with modern decor, and thoughtful design finishes. These homes will help meet growing demand by discerning executives seeking an elevated living experience in the supply-constrained Minato area.

The remaining locations will expand the WEAVE PLACE brand, offering beautifully designed private apartments with various furnished options catering to the respective needs of a diverse tenant base including local professionals, expatriates and corporates. Under these plans, more than 240 fully-furnished luxury rental properties are expected to be ready starting from fall 2025.

“As part of our steady growth in the Japan market and across Asia-Pacific, we are thrilled to expand our collaboration with KKR and our Japan-based offering to six new locations that are extremely desirable even by Tokyo standards,” said Sachin Doshi, Founder and Group CEO of WEAVE LIVING. “Also factoring in the planned Japan debut of our WEAVE RESIDENCES brand, this is a further demonstration of our commitment to offering an ever-wider selection of living options to renters at various life stages, with an emphasis on the distinctive attractiveness of each of the fantastic locations that make up our expanded portfolio in Tokyo.”

Kensuke Kudo, Managing Director, Real Estate, KKR, said, “We are proud of the strong momentum that our strategic partnership with WEAVE LIVING has achieved in a short span of time. This expansion underscores our conviction in the long-term fundamentals of Japan’s residential sector and ability to deliver high-quality, differentiated offerings to meet the evolving residential needs of corporates and executives in Japan. We look forward to continued collaboration with Sachin to scale this promising platform.”

KKR is making its investment from its Asia real estate strategy. The transaction adds to KKR’s continued activity and momentum in Japan’s real estate sector across different real estate investment strategies, including KJR Management, a leading Japanese real estate manager that oversees two J-REITs; hospitality and office assets across Japan; and a portfolio of multifamily properties in Tokyo.

WEAVE LIVING and KKR Build on Strategic Partnership with Acquisition of Portfolio of Residential Properties in Prime Central Tokyo

An Israeli was fatally shot in an attack in the West Bank, and the Israeli military said Sunday it killed an alleged attacker who attempted to ram his vehicle into troops also in the occupied territory.

Meanwhile, Egypt, Jordan and Kuwait condemned Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen after they fired a ballistic missile at the Saudi capital on Saturday.

Here is the latest news from the Middle East on Saturday. Full coverage is available here.

A 30-year-old man was killed in a shooting attack in the northern West Bank on Sunday morning, hours before the Yom Kippur holiday, which is widely considered the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. The Israeli military said the attacker opened fire from a vehicle and then fled on foot. The man was evacuated to a hospital but died of his wounds, police said.

The military also said it killed a Palestinian man who attempted to carry out a ramming attack on soldiers at an intersection near Jenin, less than an hour later. The military said it was searching for another man who was in the car.

Prior to the attack, Israeli troops carried out a large counterterrorism operation in the northern West Bank town of Al-Mughayyir. Palestinian officials said at least 28 people were detained. Tensions have surged in the West Bank and extremist Israeli settler attacks against Palestinians have increased exponentially, emboldened by right-wing, ultra-nationalist politicians in Israel's government.

Egypt, Jordan and Kuwait said the Houthi attack on Riyadh was a threat to regional security and stability and a violation of international law. The nations in separate statements said their governments stand with Saudi Arabia in support of its sovereignty and protection of its civilians.

The Muslim World League also condemned the attack on civilians and civilian infrastructure as a violation of “all religious values as well as international and humanitarian laws and norms.”

It was the first time the Saudi capital has been targeted since the escalation in fighting with the Iran-backed rebels opened a new front in the Iran war. Saudi Arabia said the attack was intercepted. Some residents in Riyadh heard an explosion, and later some saw a plume of smoke near the airport. There were no reports of casualties or damage.

Six French nationals in Iraq suspected of being members of the extremist Islamic State group have stood trial, Iraqi judicial and security officials told The Associated Press.

The officials, who said it could take several proceedings before a verdict is issued, spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak with the media.

The six are among 47 French nationals held in Iraq who were part of thousands of people with suspected links to the IS, and who were repatriated from neighboring Syria early this year.
