Company Overview:
Our client is a family-backed, evergreen investment firm with a strong transatlantic presence, actively deploying capital across both private equity and real estate in the United States and Europe. Founded in 2006, the firm has grown into a multidisciplinary platform with over 40 professionals operating across multiple asset classes. Our client currently manages more than $3.5 billion in assets.

The firm has allocated over + $300 million in dry powder toward U.S. real estate equity (+$1.25 billion total capitalization) which it plans to deploy through direct investments and strategic partnerships in the coming years.
