We operate with a clear mandate which ensure that we fulfil our fiduciary responsibilities whilst managing assets with unwavering discipline and attention to risk management.
We identify core and strategic investment opportunities through our unique network of brokers, developers and owners to add value to client portfolios. Our clients are private and institutional investors, family offices and international property funds seeking to benefit from our unique deal flow and value addition.
Over our collective professional careers, we have developed significant relationships with real estate investors, developers, brokers and other professional counterparties, who we continue to work with, allowing us to position ourselves favourably to secure a proprietary dealflow which we share with our investor base.
Our primary focus is on building long-term, collaborative relationships with our investors. We aim to work with them in a genuine partnership, adhering to our strict governance and regulatory framework and ensuring that we target a return on investments that matches both our clients’ financial objectives and their risk profile.
We identify core and core plus investment opportunities through our relationships and market knowledge, monitoring and analysing the changing economic and behavioural trends within the real estate markets. Our focus is primarily on commercial and logistics assets that offer stable income and long term sustainable capital growth.
From origination, structuring, debt financing and post-acquisition management, we are able to offer a bespoke framework to meet the varying objectives for each asset and investor.
Deals are structured according to our investors’ preferences for income distribution and returns based on conventional and Islamic principles
Lanesbrook’s core investments focus is on assets with tenants that are global household brands, with strong covenants and balance sheets. We select those real estate assets that are critical to the long term operational strategy of the occupiers.
Our core plus investments focus on prime, well-located assets where we see substantial value that can be added through active management programmes whereby we seek to take advantage of the price dislocation between current capital values and long term exit yields.
We are also able to oversee development projects and where required can assist with raising capital to structure syndicated and joint venture structures.
