No slowdown for SoftBank’s Fortress Investment

Fortress Investment Group is busily buying properties, especially in Japan, notwithstanding recent reports the global investment firm might be sold by its parent, SoftBank Group Corp. “Fortress has been the most active hospitality investor in Japan over the past decade (owning and/or operating 161 hotels there) and we are seeing the current market as a great buying opportunity,” says Shunsuke Yamamoto, Fortress managing director in Asia.
