The market for European real estate investment is constantly shifting, presenting unique challenges in capital allocation, especially within niche sectors like urban industrial assets.

This episode explores how to build a scalable, specialist platform successfully in the face of economic turmoil by focusing on proprietary data, sub-market knowledge, and maintaining a clear investment conviction. We deep dive into last mile logistics, the drivers of rent growth, sourcing capital, and the critical importance of company culture.
