Fibra Prime Peru REIT: A Milestone Logistics Acquisition
The jump in assets under management (AUM) to approximately US$450 million follows the acquisition of Parque Logístico Lima Sur. The deal significantly bolsters the trust’s industrial footprint in metropolitan Lima.
Fibra Prime now expects to end 2026 at around US$500 million if additional investments materialize. The growth trajectory marks a sharp acceleration from earlier reporting periods.
At the close of the third quarter of 2025, the consolidated portfolio was reported at US$188.6 million. An English-language company page later showed US$241.41 million in asset value, reflecting the rapid expansion into 2026.
Portfolio Breakdown and Returns
The trust’s current portfolio comprises 40 properties with 298,990 square meters of leasable area. The assets are split across three segments: 27 office buildings, 7 commercial assets, and 6 logistics assets.
For international investors, the vehicle offers monthly dividend payments. Management has maintained its 2026 distribution target of US$0.55 to US$0.60 per certificate.
Peruvian business daily Gestión reported that the instrument had accumulated 8% in dollar appreciation year-to-date. This return combines capital gains with the recurring dividend stream.
Looking Beyond Lima to Arequipa
For the first time, Fibra Prime is explicitly evaluating investment opportunities outside the capital. Company representatives recently visited logistics properties and shopping centers in Arequipa, Peru’s second-largest city.
Arequipa serves as a commercial hub for the country’s southern region. The move signals a strategic push to diversify geographically beyond Lima’s saturated prime real estate market.
However, no transaction has been closed yet. The company confirmed it is still in an evaluation phase, meaning any deal in Arequipa remains prospective rather than imminent.
IFC Backing and Broader Strategy
The International Finance Corporation (IFC), the private-sector arm of the World Bank Group, is supporting the expansion with up to US$40 million in financing. The package is designed to fund a broader 2025-2026 plan.
That plan includes additional office acquisitions, a possible industrial-warehouse conversion project, debt refinancing, and sustainability upgrades. The IFC’s involvement also brings rigorous environmental and social standards to the portfolio.
The financing aligns with a regional trend where multilateral lenders back formal real estate vehicles to improve transparency and building standards in Latin American markets.
What This Means for Foreign Investors
For expatriates and international investors following Peru, Fibra Prime offers a regulated entry point into commercial real estate. The trust trades on the Lima Stock Exchange (Bolsa de Valores de Lima, or BVL).
The vehicle’s push into logistics assets mirrors a global investor preference for warehouses and distribution centers over traditional offices. The Arequipa scouting trip suggests management sees growth in secondary cities.
Peru’s economy remains one of the more stable in South America, with a floating currency and an investment-grade credit rating. A REIT structure paying monthly dividends in US dollars can serve as a hedge against local-currency volatility.
Still, foreign buyers should note that liquidity on the BVL is thinner than on major global exchanges. Any position should be sized accordingly within a diversified emerging-market allocation.
