Q&A – James Quille

Headquartered in Bermuda with offices in Hong Kong, Tokyo, Seoul, London and Luxembourg, MGPA is a private equity group focused on real estate investment in Asia and Europe. Owned by its principals and Australia's Macquarie Bank, MGPA was formed in February 2004 following a management buyout from Lend Lease Corporation. Last September, the private equity real estate fund manager raised approximately $1.3 billion for its latest vehicle, MGP Fund II. Here, CEO James Quille, a 30-year veteran of the real estate business, shares his firm's strategy, his thoughts on the Asian market and what distinguishes China from the rest of the region.
