What Crossroads Real Estate Llc does

Crossroads Real Estate (Europe) Limited is a privately held, pan-European real estate private equity and special situations fund manager founded in 2015 by David Gillerman. The firm pursues a thematic approach to investing, deploying capital through a platform model where it takes controlling or significant minority positions in best-in-class operating companies across hospitality, co-working, co-living, retail, parking, industrial, and sustainable energy. As of the most recent disclosures, Crossroads manages €1.3bn in cumulative assets under management and has deployed €474m of equity across nine platform investments spanning nine countries (UK, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Spain, Ireland, Germany, Belgium, Israel, and the US via Mindspace). Its headcount is 17 professionals, with offices in London (headquarters), Amsterdam, Luxembourg, and Madrid.

The firm's revenue model follows the standard institutional private equity architecture: recurring management fees (typically 2% of committed or invested capital) charged on its fund vehicles, supplemented by performance fees / carried interest (typically 20% above hurdle) that crystallize on exits. Crossroads has realized three full or majority exits to date: First Business Parks in 2018, easyHotel Benelux in October 2022, and Sircle Collection in January 2023. The go-to-market is institutional field sales: the firm raises capital from pension funds, insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds, and family offices through direct relationships, and sources deals off-market through its network of operating partners rather than through competitive auctions. Differentiators cited include a senior team with backgrounds at Och-Ziff, Lehman Brothers, Blackstone, Goldman Sachs, KKR, and CBRE, integration of ESG considerations across the portfolio (BREEAM Excellent on Liberties House Dublin, WiredScore Platinum), and a hands-on asset management approach via co-investment with operating specialists such as APCOA, Holland Immo, and Clean Planet Energy.
