What PRIMONIAL REIM does

Praemia REIM is a Paris-headquartered pan-European real estate asset management platform operating through five real estate management companies (three regulated) and five property management companies across France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Spain, the UK, and Singapore. The firm manages more than €33 billion in assets across 1,700+ properties in 12 countries, deploying capital across five core asset classes — healthcare and education, residential, office, retail, and hospitality — with more than 63% of allocation concentrated in alternative or specialised asset classes. Praemia REIM is Europe's leading healthcare real estate manager with €17 billion AUM and over 750 assets in 8 countries, and the firm has pioneered thematic fund products since 2012 to offer investors pure-play exposure to specific real estate segments. Underlying technology is a multi-jurisdictional regulated platform combining local investment teams with in-house property management and an integrated investor relations function rather than a unified software stack.\n\nThe business generates revenue primarily through recurring management fees on assets under management, supplemented by performance fees on fund vehicles. Distribution is split between institutional investors (58% of clients, served via direct sales to pension funds, insurers and sovereign investors) and retail or individual investors (42% of clients, served through intermediated wealth distribution channels). The platform combines conviction-based thematic strategies with systematic ESG integration and a PropTech/innovation programme operated through a dedicated Research & Strategy function and a New Uses Committee chaired by the CEO. Strategic JV partners and operating counterparties include Medical Properties Trust (50/50 European healthcare JV), Grupo Lar (Spanish build-to-rent), Camplus (Italian student housing), MEDIAN (German rehabilitation hospitals) and Song Capital (consortium-led refinancing).\n\nIn July 2024 the entity rebranded from Primonial REIM to Praemia REIM after the sale of its distribution arm Primonial Ingénierie & Développement to Crystal Group, becoming a fully independent pure-play real estate asset manager. Ownership rests with private equity sponsors Latour Capital, Bridgepoint, and Sogecap. In April 2026 the group appointed Lionel Paquin — former CEO of Lyxor Asset Management and Amundi Executive Committee member — as Group CEO, succeeding founder-CEO Laurent Fléchet, who transitioned to Chairman after growing AUM from under €1 billion to more than €33 billion over a 15-year tenure.
