Top Real Estate desks in Europe
Hi guys,
Looking mainly at exits, dealflow and prestige, which are in your opinion the best and strongest groups in the European Real Estate market?
With Europe I mean London, Paris, Milan and Frankfurt.
Other than BB, someone told me about Evercore, Lazard and Hines.
There are the big brokerage firms (JLL, CBRE, Cushman), Big4 also have hot RE desks, Blackstone (only in London I think)...
Do you guys have other names?
Anyone here?
Tristan Capital Partners
Worth noting that junior roles there are pretty crap. I know some people that are in that class. Apparently financial reporting in 60% of the job and headhunters are consistently unimpressed with Tristan analyst ability to do excel.
what do Tristan analysts normally do after 3 years there?
They model using templates and do only asset-level stuff which is probably why; not taking any REITs private like Bx and doing wacky shit like GS
Former HFF crew, Eastdil, Brookland Partners, Evercore NPL squad crushes it, LoneStar and the rest of the big name NPL bois, Cairn, Cheyne, etc. - random bunch of names just throwing shit out there.
RE funds: AEW Blackrock CBRE global investors Carlyle Lasalle Patrizia Rockspring Prologis (logistics) Hines Morgan Stanley
Hines has a European Core Fund and a European Value Fund. Also a Poland fund, and Russian separate accounts.
They have offices in Paris, Milan, London, and Frankfurt.
They have several more offices than this, including Greece, Spain, Netherlands, Nordics and Ireland. Underwriting for their funds is generally led by the local teams given they’re on the ground, the actual fund teams (located in London and pretty small) focus more on the portfolio management / investor relations side of the business from what I’ve been told.
Thanks a lot. Yes I know pretty well Hines and they are for sure one of the best player in Europe at the moment.
Greystar has good teams in Europe too
MBA business schools">M7
No one is mentioning AXA IM - Real Assets but it is the biggest RE player in Europe doing everything from super core to opportunistic / development. Take a look at it.
What about Brookfield?
Big Bump, Does anyone know which investment bank in Europe is best in real estate finance?
I d say MS, at least in Italy!
Wells Fargo are pretty active. Don't know if much m&a/corporate level transactions happen here in europe, and when they do they seem to be done by the corporate finance teams in Eastdil, CBRE or JLL
For balance sheet it’s: All the BB shops, Natixis, Santander, bbva, hsbc, aareal, leumi, Deutsche Pfandbriefbank and all the German kantonal and sparkassen banks. Trying to think who else looks at our European deals I’ll come back to you.
Advisory: Eastdil, brookland partners, evercore, Rothschild, and the BB banks. There’s a lot of boutiques too.
