BlueRock Group: Best Boutique Real Estate Investment Solutions DACH 2022

Since its launch in 2011, BlueRock Group has executed more than €1.5bn in transaction volume. The Zurich-headquartered real-estate investment boutique has established a strategic network with offices in Berlin, Gibraltar, Manchester and Luxembourg. BlueRock’s strong European presence allows the group to deploy a cherry-picking strategy and capitalise on opportunities with decisive speed and without compromising on due diligence. BlueRock investors benefit from the group’s value-based investment philosophy, which is underpinned by transparency, adaptability and enhanced returns. It offers investors access to off-market deals in the €20-100m range via fully regulated, transparent and bankable investment vehicles. It optimises tax structures and maintains compliance across all relevant jurisdictions. BlueRock investors receive quarterly reporting on their investments, and returns are distributed on a quarterly or bi-annual basis. BlueRock continues to scale up operations. It has recruited two new team members to assist with the boom in business: a portfolio manager and an investment manager. BlueRock recently closed on a portfolio of 22 properties in Berlin. The group elevates property management to modern standards, including in-depth analyses and reporting on ESG performance. Residential properties make up 78 percent of the BlueRock portfolio and account for nearly half of AUM. Meanwhile, its office properties represent only 15 percent of the portfolio yet 44 percent of AUM. Retail and healthcare properties round out the portfolio.
