A LEGACY OF SEEKING MISPRICED RISK

Europa’s origins stem back to 1999. The firm has established itself as one of the pioneers of pan-European, cross border real estate investment. This legacy of seeking mispriced risk in different markets, sectors and individual assets, persists to this day.

The benefit of having experienced different cycles across Europe allows us to face the future with the courage to navigate both challenging and favourable markets.

InAUGUST 1999

The first commingled fund, attracting €225m of equity invested across six countries, was launched. Europa is now on its sixth vintage for the value-add series.

In2010

Mitsubishi Estate Co. Ltd., one of the largest global investors, managers and developers of real estate acquired a controlling interest in Europa thereby extending the group’s reach in Europe, and has offered meaningful support to all of Europa’s initiatives to date.

In2019

We extended our presence into the core real estate space with the launch of the European Diversified Income Fund “EDIF”.

WHAT MATTERS TO US MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE FOR OUR CLIENTS

How we work and what we believe in makes a difference. As we seek mispriced risk, our values keep us on track: trustworthiness, courage, creativity and cooperation.

SEEKING MISPRICED RISK

Real estate assets are all different. Our investment approach puts all potential opportunities on a level playing field. By identifying where prices should be, and the narratives and constraints that have driven them away from that point, we can begin to identify mispriced risk. This gives us an edge.
