16 June 2025, Hong Kong – ARCH Capital today announced the official launch of Asterra, a dedicated regional platform focused on operating and growing ARCH Capital’s living portfolio. This strategic initiative marks a significant milestone in ARCH Capital’s vision to consolidate its diverse portfolio of living assets, including co-living, multi-family/serviced apartments, and hospitality, across the Asia Pacific (APAC) region.
Asterra will oversee a portfolio of existing and future living assets spanning key markets including Australia, Japan, the Philippines, Thailand, and Hong Kong. This launch underscores ARCH Capital’s commitment to consolidating its diverse assets under one cohesive and adaptive brand, ensuring streamlined operations and delivering tailored and elevated living experiences to our residents.
Asterra draws from the essence of the dandelion, nature’s testament to growth and resilience, paired with “terra,” the earth that grounds us. While the Asia Pacific region is rich in cultural diversity and distinct ways of living, a common thread runs across markets: people seeking connectedness, adaptability, and environments that nurture well-being. This inspiration is woven into the brand’s identity, embodying ARCH Capital’s vision of a living brand deeply rooted in strong foundations. Asterra is dedicated to cultivating meaningful, human-centric experiences that respond thoughtfully to the unique cultural and lifestyle rhythms across the APAC region. At its core, the brand’s ethos centers on a people-first, hands-on approach focused on creating and managing flourishing living environments that inspire vibrancy and fulfillment.
“ARCH Capital is one of the pioneers in introducing co-living to Hong Kong in 2018. We understand the evolving needs of modern residents and community-driven living. The launch of Asterra represents more than just a new company,” said Richard Yue, Founder and CEO of ARCH Capital. “It is a living strategy designed to consolidate our diverse assets, nurturing them to grow and flourish in these key markets. Asterra builds on our legacy by offering adaptive and dedicated management that meets the dynamic demands of current and future generations.”
Jonathan Umali, Chief Investment Officer at ARCH Capital, said, “Asterra represents a pivotal step in ARCH Capital’s strategy to consolidate its brands and assets under one dynamic umbrella. This consolidation enhances operational efficiency and unlocks new value opportunities. With deep market expertise, local knowledge, and a commitment to people-focused living solutions, Asterra is well-positioned to meet the evolving needs of residents and investors alike. Asterra is our response to the evolution of operational real estate in the living sector.”
“At Asterra, our core commitment is to create living environments where individuals can truly thrive, free from barriers that often complicate accommodation today,” said Quinton Lai, Regional Manager at Asterra. “Our mission is to provide convenient, flexible, and quality living solutions that empower thriving and connected communities across Asia Pacific. By prioritizing our residents’ needs, we create spaces where they can live proudly and comfortably in today’s evolving world.”
Asterra is managed by ARCH Capital’s seasoned leadership team, with extensive experience and a proven track record in managing living assets across APAC.
