The investment in Capella Capital by Sojitz Corporation, a major investment and trading company in Japan, has now been completed in a move that will enable Capella to expand into new infrastructure markets in Australia and globally.

“We’re known for our exceptional people across a broad range of skillsets as well as the strong relationships we build with government clients and project partners including co-investors, contractors and financiers. We’ll now further leverage that expertise with this exciting milestone to unlock substantial future opportunities.
Sojitz has a well-established presence in Australia and a strong appetite and capacity to invest domestically and overseas. With Sojitz support, we’ll build on our success to date with Lendlease and target a broader range of infrastructure assets both in Australia and globally.”
