We have been at the forefront of establishing Private Equity Real Estate as an institutional asset class in the UK and have played a leading role in driving the growth of the ‘Alternative’ real estate sectors.
Our research focused approach is to identify needs-based drivers of demand, where there is an undersupply of existing fit-for-purpose real estate. Our theory is simple: if we provide what occupiers want then we will have high occupancy, low vacancy costs and above trend rental growth. This appeals to investors who are prepared to compress yields and support above trend capital growth. Our track record is the best vindicator of our strategy.
Our early recognition of the potential of the ‘Alternative’ real estate sectors sits alongside our successes in managing the disruption within the ‘Traditional’ real estate sectors of Retail, Office and Industrial.
