Unlocking value in Europe’s business centers

Ardian Real Estate invests in office properties in core European cities, where strong economic growth and a shortage of top-quality, modern office space provides opportunities to create significant value. Real estate asset management is Ardian’s newest activity. The team came together in 2015 and went on to complete Europe’s largest ever first-time Real Estate fundraising, at €738m.

A distinctive, targeted investment strategy

We follow an innovative Core-Plus, Value-Add strategy, targeting well-located office buildings in key cities including Paris, Milan, Rome, Munich and Berlin. Core-Plus deals involve relatively minor upgrades to improve the leasing potential of the property. Value-Add transactions require extensive refurbishment to create international-quality offices in sought-after districts.

Local knowledge and active management

Our teams based in Paris, Frankfurt, Milan and Madrid have deep experience and wide contacts in their home markets, enabling them to identify the districts and properties best suited to our Core-Plus, Value-Add strategy. After completion, they manage each asset closely, working with tenants and identifying the investment priorities to achieve our target rental yields and returns.

Extending Ardian’s ESG leadership into Real Estate

We apply a proprietary, industry-leading ESG benchmarking framework, Ardian Real Sustain, from the start of due diligence through to exit. Our priorities include monitoring and improving energy efficiency and environmental impacts, increasing tenant satisfaction and achieving top BREEAM or LEED sustainability certifications for every asset.
