This includes the acquisition of the asset, to its management, in particular the rental, the eventual transformation of the property (expansion, rededication etc.), joint venture projects as well as the funding of investments and the exit from such real-estate investments. In addition, we are regularly mandated by international insurance companies, banks and investment funds, but we also advise on major investments of private individuals.
