Before joining Peakside, Sebastian Junghans (37) and Nicolaus Bitter (33) were both Associate Partners at REVCAP in Frankfurt, working on transactions across Germany. Sebastian was previously employed at Tishman Speyer and UBS Real Estate and holds a Master in Real Estate from EBS Universität für Wirtschaft und Recht. Nicolaus worked for Morgan Stanley Real Estate in Frankfurt and also holds a Master in Real Estate from EBS.
Simon Lutz, Partner at Peakside, said: “With Nicolaus and Sebastian we are expanding our investment team with two experienced transaction professionals who have been working together for a long time. They will support us in the further growth and development of our deal pipeline – which currently lies in the three-digit million euro range for Peakside Real Estate Fund IV alone.”
Boris Schran, Managing Partner at Peakside, added: “Amid growing investor interest, the funds in our PREF series have grown consistently over the past years.
Boris Schran, Managing Partner bei Peakside, fügt hinzu: „Mit dem zunehmenden Interesse der Investoren sind unsere Fonds der PREF-Reihe über die letzten Jahre stetig gewachsen. Entsprechend stocken wir unsere Transaktionskapazitäten mit der Erweiterung des Investment Teams aus. Für PREF IV planen wir in den kommenden 18 Monaten Value-Add-Investitionen mit einem Gesamtvolumen von mehr als 1,2 Milliarden Euro in Deutschland. Dabei werden wir uns primär auf Investitionen im Logistiksektor und Repositionierungen unter ESG Gesichtspunkten und New-Work im Bürobereich konzentrieren. Aber auch Investitionen im Wohnungssegment, insbesondere Portfolios oder Plattformen passen in unser Investitionsprofil.“
Für PREF IV kommt das gesamte Spektrum der Assetklassen in Betracht, inklusive Portfolios und Beteiligungen im Rahmen von Joint Ventures. Die Ticketgröße liegt dabei zwischen 30 und 200 Millionen Euro. Für weitere Einzelmandate werden Core- und Core-Plus Immobilien in Deutschland gesucht.
