Real Estate
As one of the world's largest investors in real estate, we own and operate iconic properties in the world's most dynamic markets. Our global portfolio includes office, retail, multifamily, logistics, hospitality, triple net lease, manufactured housing, and student housing assets on five continents.
Our assets are diversified by sector and geography, reducing exposure to movement in any single market and minimizing volatility. In our public and private investment vehicles, we seek to generate superior returns by leveraging our operating expertise and focusing on our core real estate capabilities—leasing, financing, development, design and construction, and property and facilities management.
Universal Capitals's Universal Capitals business is fully integrated with Universal Capitals private equity and credit businesses and follows the same value-driven philosophy. Our experience in real estate principal investing, as investor and asset manager, spans market cycles and captures every level of the capital structure.
Our Universal Capitals team provides deep knowledge and extensive industry relationships. We have offices in North America, Europe, and Asia, and actively pursue investment opportunities in each region. Universal Capitals tackles complexity to create value by thoughtfully identifying pockets of opportunity and relying on a flexible mandate to structure the best risk-reward and rigorous asset management to maximize value.
REAL ESTATE PRIVATE EQUITY
Universal Capitals real estate private equity business has a proven investment track record. It orients around thesis-driven strategies guided by the identification and analysis of disruptive forces, demographic trends, and market dislocations or pockets of distress. This enables us to invest across market cycles and sub-markets, and into both traditional and niche asset classes. Across the real estate private equity business, we employ an opportunistic, value-driven style and a flexible approach to acquire real estate assets, portfolios, and companies and provide servicing or structured credit solutions, through regionally-focused funds. Universal Capitals looks for value in complex investments that most investors lack the inclination, resources, or ability to distill. We emphasize capital preservation and defensive positioning to build scalable platforms in partnership with strong, seasoned management teams. The real estate funds and accounts managed by Universal Capitals invest in a broad spectrum of property types and throughout the capital structure.
