What Multi does

Multi Corporation is a privately-held, pan-European integrated service platform for retail real estate assets, headquartered in Amsterdam and operating across 15 countries with 620+ employees. The company manages 160+ retail assets encompassing shopping centres, outlet centres, mixed-use properties, and retail parks, representing 2.7 million sqm and €5+ billion in assets under management. Founded in 1982 as a Dutch developer, Multi divested its development portfolio in 2010, was acquired by Blackstone in 2013, completed a management buyout, and pivoted to an asset- and property-management focus by 2014. Its core services span asset management, property management, leasing, advisory, and redevelopment/refurbishment, with revenue derived from management fees on AUM, leasing commissions, and professional services for advisory and design work.

Multi's platform is anchored by three wholly-owned operating subsidiaries: Multi REIM, which obtained a Dutch AFM license as investment fund manager in October 2024; TTDesign, an in-house architectural studio with 35+ years of experience; and Multi PropTech & Data Intelligence, a 360-degree data platform launched in 2022 in partnership with Retail Insights to convert footfall data from 400+ million annual visitors into operational and tenant-engagement intelligence. Customer relationships are concentrated among tier-1 European institutional investors (Commerz Real, Allianz Real Estate, Corestate, Lighthouse, Union Investment) with multi-decade tenures, and the go-to-market is enterprise field sales supplemented by participation in MAPIC, MIPIM, Expo Real, and ICSC. The firm is governed by Co-CEOs Steven Poelman and Elmar Schoonbrood, with regional managing directors covering each European market.
