Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• Verdion: European logistics and industrial real estate developer and investor with German projects. Comparable by asset class and JV/co-investment approach to logistics developments like Berlin South and Köln-Ossendorf.
• BEOS AG: Germany- and Europe-focused logistics, office and mixed-use real estate investment manager (now part of Swiss Life Asset Managers). Directly comparable in asset classes and institutional client base; alumni are present on evolutiq's team.
• GARBE Industrial Real Estate: German logistics and industrial real estate developer, investor and asset manager. Highly comparable to evolutiq's logistics-focused real estate strategy; several evolutiq senior team members previously worked at GARBE.

• Union Investment Real Estate: Real estate arm of Union Investment Group, one of Germany's largest open-ended and special real estate fund managers for institutional investors. Comparable institutional RE investor but with a much broader and deeper product set than evolutiq.
