List of 3 debt real estate investors in Europe

Debt real estate investors often play an important role in financing, especially for large or riskier real estate projects. Below we present three weighty debt investors from the list.

1. Heitman (Chicago/USA)

Real estate private equity investor Heitman manages over USD 4.8 billion in debt and is also an active investor in Europe. The company focuses on three main strategies: core/structured senior, value-add and mezzanine, and opportunistic debt.

Update 2023: Heitman exited a self-storage joint venture in Singapore with the sale of Mandarin Self Storage to Warburg Pincus-backed StorHub late last year for an estimated $172 million.

2. Cheyne Capital (London/UK)

London-based investment house Cheyne Capital manages over USD 10 billion in assets – much of which is invested in European real estate debt. Cheyne focuses on four different asset types: Senior Loans, Mezzanine Loans, Listed Credit and Special Situations. As a senior investor, they will invest in the first layer of debt, and in the case of mezzanine loans, the middle layer. In addition, Cheyne also invests directly in real estate.

Update 2024: The investment specialist now manages assets of around USD 11 billion.

3. Tyrus Capital (Monaco)

The debt investor Tyrus Capital has already participated in transactions with a volume of over EUR 1 billion. Various investment strategies such as senior debt or mezzanine capital are pursued. Debt investments are between EUR 15-100 million. Investments are made throughout Europe, among others in Stuttgart (Germany), Hilversum (Netherlands) or Barcelona (Spain). The asset classes are also broadly diversified.

What are real estate debt investors?

So-called “debt investors” emerged in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. After banks temporarily withdrew from the real estate markets, institutional lenders stepped in. They provide debt capital for real estate projects and transactions in return for – usually quite high – interest rates. Debt investors often play an important role, especially for project developers. In addition, investors also buy up so-called “distressed loans” or offer “bridge loans” for interim financing. Mezzanine capital – an intermediate form of debt and equity – is also very popular.

These investor types are included in the list:

  • Investment managers
  • Real estate companies
  • Project developers with portfolio acquisition
  • Private equity investors
  • REITs
  • Pension funds
  • Foundations

These property types are purchased:
