The institutional investor opportunity in real estate and other alternative assets

BPIE – Buildings Performance Institute Europe – has released a new report highlighting that despite industry efforts to decarbonise building portfolios, retail real estate asset managers and owners lack a sector-specific trajectory towards achieving climate-neutrality. 

A new partnership has been formed to help housing providers and companies across the built environment deliver on the environmental, social and governance (ESG) agenda.

Regeneration specialist U+I, in joint venture with the founders of Scape and Gravis, has completed the sale of four new residential buildings at Circus Street in Brighton to M&G Real Estate. The city centre homes, comprising 114 one- and two-bedroom apartments for private rent will be retained and operated by M&G.

A new Europe-wide survey of transaction volumes, yields and rental prices of retail properties in 2020 in 31 locations, has come to a mixed conclusion.
