Hines in the Nordics’ Post

Hines, a prominent US real estate firm, has appointed The Carlyle Group veteran Paul J. Ferraro, CAIA to lead its unit catering to high-net-worth individuals. Ferraro, previously with Carlyle, brings extensive experience to Hines, which aims to tap into the growing market of individual investors. Private asset firms like Blackstone and Apollo Global Management, Inc. are also targeting this sector. Despite global property value declines, Hines sees opportunities, especially as UBS clients plan to increase real estate allocations. With Ferraro's leadership, Hines anticipates significant growth in the private-wealth space, aligning with its historical success under Jeffrey Hines' leadership. “Allocations to the private-wealth space are expected to enter the trillions,” Hines Global Chief Investment Officer David Steinbach said in the statement. #PrivateWealth #RealEstate #PrivateAssets #AssetAllocation I Bloomberg I Ben Stupples I Tom Metcalf

Just a day after Brookfield's positive outlook for 2024, a landmark portfolio acquisition closes. TPG acquires TPG Angelo Gordon's complete 544-property real estate portfolio. A quote stood out to me from this article: There is an opportunity "to acquire real estate assets "not typically available for sale" in "one of the most interesting investing environments seen in at least two decades"' Translation: Landmark and Core assets that rarely trade will be made available for purchase in the next 12 months due to impending loan maturations, likely at steep discounts. Smart players like TPG are getting in front of this wave and putting themselves in position to take advantage of the oncoming deals before they hit the market, not after. #commercialrealestate #investinginrealestate #alternativeinvestments

In talking with investors, we hear the word "opportunistic" frequently these days. People with cash on the sidelines are looking for high value-add properties or deep discounts from distressed sellers. Interesting article from Costar about TPG which is doing the same on an international scale. The opportunity they see in today's challenging market is acquiring properties that would not usually be available.

Schwarzman Sees Opportunities in European Real Estate Blackstone CEO Stephen A. Schwarzman, whose firm is one of the largest owners of commercial property, says higher rates have put European real estate under pressure. "If you have to carry a whole portfolio that used to cost you next to nothing, at 6% they need to sell things," Schwarzman told Bloomberg' Francine Lacqua on the sidelines of the Global Investment Summit in West London. "We're seeing some very, very good buys in that kind of environment because, unlike most people, we have enormous capital." #realestate #property #realestatedevelopers #realestateagents #therealtynews #housing #residential #demand #growth #investors #investments #projects #assetmanagement #commercial #blackstone Blackstone https://lnkd.in/dSp3_jd4

At the Global Leaders in Real Estate Summit on October 10th, clear trends emerged, emphasizing the industry's evolution. The market now leans heavily towards high-quality assets, while secondary areas face dwindling demand. Notably, data centers have surged in importance, and current geopolitical dynamics further accentuate this shift. The period between 2020 and 2022 was characterized by increased asset values due to the influx of cheap capital, but we're now entering a phase of deleveraging in the real estate sector. Meanwhile, misconceptions about unallocated capital were debunked, revealing that private groups now dominate the top real estate deals. With market inefficiencies making valuations challenging, the focus is on strategic asset acquisition and the allure of the opportunistic space. Insights from the keynote speaker, Justin Pattner of KKR, were expertly drawn out by interviewer Krystyna Blakeslee from Willkie Farr & Gallagher, presenting a clear path forward for discerning investors. #GLRE

The Shifting Landscape of Real Estate Investment: Big Players Making Big Moves In a recent Fortune article (https://lnkd.in/gX5Jgdqq), Blackstone's Steve Schwarzman announces plans to invest billions in commercial real estate, a move that signals a significant shift in the real estate investment landscape. Schwarzman's statement, 'We’re the largest owner of real estate in the world, and we want to buy more,' reflects a growing trend where major private equity firms and investment banks are increasingly dominating the real estate sector. This shift raises an important question about the future role of smaller owners and investors in the industry. As large players continue to consolidate their hold on the market, it becomes crucial for smaller investors to strategize and find their niche in this evolving ecosystem. Perhaps this is an opportunity for collaboration, innovation, and focusing on unique segments of the market that big firms might overlook. What are your thoughts on this trend? How can small to medium real estate investors adapt to stay relevant and competitive in an industry increasingly dominated by giants? #RealEstateInvestment #MarketTrends #CommercialRealEstate #BlackstoneGroup #InvestmentStrategy
