Corporate Overview
EQT Real Estate was created through the combination of EQT Real Estate and Exeter Property Group in 2021. EQT Real Estate is among the largest real estate investment managers in the world, focused on acquiring, developing and managing logistics/industrial, residential and student housing properties. EQT Real Estate applies a thematic investment philosophy and value-creation approach. With regional offices across the Americas, Europe and Asia, EQT Real Estate combines local execution and global scope to deliver superior real estate solutions to tenants while seeking to provide investors with some of the industry’s leading and most consistent returns across value-add and core-plus strategies.
With a track record spanning decades, EQT Real Estate manages targeted, specialized real estate private equity funds organized by geography (Americas, Europe, Asia), property sector (logistics and living), and risk-return target (value-add and core-plus). Each business line is separately managed by dedicated Portfolio Managers and implemented by the relevant regional and country leasing and investment professionals.
Investment principles & strategy
EQT Real Estate is solely dedicated to real estate investment management, serving over 260 institutional investors globally (as of December 31, 2025). EQT Real Estate manages various sector- and-regionally-focused vehicles in Europe, Americas and Asia Pacific, specializing in the logistics and living sectors. In addition, EQT Real Estate manages several diversified vehicles in Asia Pacific, outlined below.
EQT Real Estate Value-Add Logistics
The EQT Real Estate Value-Add Logistics Funds seek to invest in big box, mid box, light industrial, and last mile logistics properties in major consumption and distribution hubs. The funds seek to create value through (i) acquiring underperforming, under-leased and vacant assets at discounted prices; (ii) pursuing short-term leased assets that generate immediate cashflow; and (iii) developing modern, high-quality logistics assets. Historically, the strategy has focused on single-asset acquisitions and smaller equity ticket sizes in which, as a less competitive segment of the market, the fund seek to benefit from attractive entry pricing. In the current market cycle, EQT is observing increasing portfolio acquisition opportunities at attractive pricing levels. EQT Real Estate currently manages value-add logistics vehicles in the U.S., Europe and Asia.
EQT Real Estate Core-Plus Logistics
The EQT Real Estate Core-Plus Logistics Funds seek to invest in big box, mid box, light industrial, and last mile logistics properties in major consumption and distribution hubs. The funds focus on long-leased, high quality, income-producing logistics assets with a value creation angle during the hold period. Typically, the funds may seek to add value through the ability to re-gear rents during the hold period. The strategy has historically targeted single-asset acquisitions with smaller equity ticket sizes to capitalize on attractive entry pricing due to market inefficiencies; in the current market there are increasing opportunities to participate in selective portfolio trades, particularly those created by capital market dislocations or strategic rebalancing. The core-plus strategy also benefits from EQT Real Estate’s in-house operator platform. EQT Real Estate currently manages core-plus logistics vehicles in the U.S. and Europe.
EQT Real Estate Logistics Managed Accounts
In addition to the value-add and core-plus logistics funds, EQT Real Estate oversees managed accounts. These managed accounts entail asset management services for pre-determined portfolios and hence differ from the investment funds in that they do not undertake new acquisition activities. These managed accounts originated in instances where EQT Real Estate sold a stabilized portfolio and were retained by the buyer to manage the assets, due to its in-house leasing, development & construction and property management capabilities.
EQT Real Estate U.S. Core-Plus and Value-Add Multifamily
EQT Real Estate’s U.S. multifamily team strategically invests in well-located garden-style, mid-rise, and high-rise apartment communities in high-growth U.S. markets with resilient long-term apartment fundamentals. Utilizing a blended core-plus and value-add investment
strategy, the team balances stable, income-generating properties with high-growth opportunities, leveraging a robust national platform to enhance acquisition efforts. By building a geographically and product-diverse portfolio, including acquisitions, redevelopment projects, and select ground-up developments, the team aims to generate outsized risk-adjusted returns while proactively managing risk through demographic and geographic diversification.
EQT Real Estate Europe Value-Add Living
The EQT Real Estate’s Europe value-add living strategy targets investments in residential-for-rent and purpose-built student accommodation (“PBSA”) assets in major European cities and higher education hubs. The strategy focuses on generating strong cashflow and value appreciation through (i) the refurbishment of standing assets; (ii) design improvement; (iii) development; and (iv) redevelopment. The strategy aims to aggregate single assets focusing on high-quality, modern, yet affordable residential and PBSA assets tailored to the middle-income market. Furthermore, EQT Real Estate’s dedicated self storage platform, STOREX, is developing a next-generation, best-in-class portfolio across London, targeting high-visibility, densely populated urban areas. Focused on delivering an exemplary customer experience, STOREX offers an efficient, end-to-end fully digitized solution. Through the aggregation of individual sites, EQT Real Estate’s self storage strategy aims to build a high-quality, institutional-scale portfolio.
EQT Real Estate Value-Add Asia Pacific Diversified
The EQT Real Estate Value-Add Diversified funds in Asia Pacific are invested across the office, hospitality, residential and logistics sectors. Such funds constructed a diversified portfolio in terms of geography, sector and risk profile, seeking to generate strong cashflow and appreciation through: (i) refurbishment of standing assets; (ii) design improvement; (iii) development; and (iv) redevelopment.
