By 1994 Heitman acquired JMB Institutional Realty, and the following year shifted operations to the European markets. By 2005 Heitman opened up its first office in Tokyo, Japan, in 2010 it established an Australian office, and a few years later made a direct property investment in Asia-Pacific. Heitman moved its operations to Hong Kong in 2012, and a couple of years later formed Heitman Real Estate Debt Partners. By that stage the company had amassed $34.8 billion.
