    University of Oxford Research PropTech 3.0: the future of real estate PROPTECH 3.0: THE FUTURE OF REAL ESTATE WWW.SBS.OXFORD.EDU PROPTECH 3.0: THE FUTURE OF REAL ESTATE PropTech 3.0: the future of real estate Right now, thousands of extremely clever people backed by billions of dollars of often expert investment are working very hard to change the way real estate is traded, used and operated. It would be surprising, to say the least, if this burst of activity – let’s call it PropTech 2.0 - does not lead to some significant change. No doubt many PropTech firms will fail and a lot of money will be lost, but there will be some very successful survivors who will in time have a radical impact on what has been a slow-moving, conservative industry. How, and where, will this happen? Underlying this huge capitalist and social endeavour is a clash of generations. Many of the startups are driven by, and aimed at, millennials, but they often look to babyboomers for money - and sometimes for advice. PropTech 2.0 is also engineering a much-needed boost to property market diversity. Unlike many traditional real estate businesses, PropTech is attracting a diversified pool of talent that has a strong female component, representation from different regions of the world and entrepreneurs from a highly diverse career and education background. Given the difference in background between the establishment and the drivers of the PropTech wave, it is not surprising that there is some disagreement about the level of disruption that PropTech 2.0 will create.

  • Real Estate Alert’S 22Nd Annual Review of Closed- End Commingled Funds That Seek Yields of at Least 10% by Investing in Com- Mercial Real Estate
    SPECIAL REPORT Fund Managers Flush With Capital, but Not Opportunities Capital, capital everywhere, but no place to invest. Number of Active Funds That’s the quandary facing managers of high-yield real estate funds. 488 466 466 By any measure, their industry is booming, with both the number of vehi- 445 427 429 425 440 cles and the amount of equity commitments at record levels. But finding suit- 415 406 able investments for all that capital is becoming harder and harder, because the long-running bull market has driven valuations sky-high. As a result, fund managers are lowering their return goals and sitting on an unprecedented hoard of uninvested capital. Those are key findings ofReal Estate Alert’s 22nd annual review of closed- end commingled funds that seek yields of at least 10% by investing in com- mercial real estate. The review identified a record 488 active vehicles, up 5% from 466 a year ago. Those funds are managed by a record 392 operators, up from the previous high of 374 last year. They have set an aggregate $339.9 billion equity goal and 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 have already raised $261.3 billion of that amount (or slightly more than three- quarters) — also new highs. But a whopping 72% of those commitments, or $186.9 billion, is still unin- vested. That tally is up 14% from a revised $164.5 billion of dry powder last Uninvested Equity ($Bil.) year and nearly double the $97.9 billion level in 2015. 187 164 The reason why is no mystery: Fund managers see fewer opportunities that 161 fit their return goals.

  • Allianz Purchases Berlin Office Complex from Patron Capital and Suprema
    6 June 2017 Allianz purchases Berlin office complex from Patron Capital and Suprema • Fully refurbished office building with floorspace of 40,000 sq m • Completion of forward deal planned in H1 2018 On behalf of several Allianz companies Allianz Real Estate has purchased the 40,000 sq m office redevelopment known as “EightFloors” on Franklinstrasse in Berlin’s Charlottenburg. The sellers are Patron Capital Partners and its long-standing local partner Suprema. Allianz was able to secure the property early in a forward deal for a value of circa €175 million. Closing will take place after completion of the ongoing refurbishment in 2018. Having purchased the property in 2015 as a redevelopment opportunity, Patron relaunched it in 2016, adding a landmark glass tower on the corner of Franklinstrasse and Salzufer, a new reception, roof terrace, lounge and entrance areas, as well as landscaped courtyards. This was designed by renowned architect Gewers Pudewill. Upon completion in 2018, the office complex will be fully refurbished and extended. Allianz will apply for a Silver certificate by the DGNB German Sustainable Building Council. The eight-storey asset offers large floorplates of up to 4,500 sq m, which are in short supply in Berlin and its City West submarket. The multi-tenant structure includes mostly tenants who particularly benefit from being in the immediate vicinity of the Technical University of Berlin with its 31,000 students and 8,500 staff, and other prominent academic and business institutions such as the University of Arts and the Fraunhofer Institute which are located in close proximity. To date, the property has already been 83% leased.

  • CALA Group Limited CALA Announces New Investment Partners Patron and Legal & General to Acquire the Group
    18 March 2013 CALA Group Limited CALA announces new investment partners Patron and Legal & General to acquire the Group CALA Group Limited (“CALA” or “The Group”), the UK’s premium major home builder, today announces that it has reached an agreement with Patron Capital Partners (“Patron”), the private equity group, and Legal & General Group plc (“Legal & General”), the insurance, savings and investment management company, under which they will acquire the Group. The investment by both Patron and Legal & General illustrates their confidence in the Group’s future prospects and provides CALA with a strong platform for growth, through greater balance sheet capacity and the funds to add significantly to its existing land bank. This platform will enable the Group to build on the positive momentum it has generated in recent years, with a medium term aim of increasing the size of the Group substantially. Under the terms of the agreement, Legal & General and Patron will each take a 46.5% equity stake in CALA alongside CALA’s existing senior management team who will take a 7% share. The transaction comprises £140m of equity, and £70m of debt, valuing CALA at £210m. Patron will lead the investment and both Legal & General and Patron will have a representative on CALA’s Board going forward. Lloyds Banking Group will continue its support of the business with a new £100m five year banking facility. CALA’s premium market positioning and presence in more affluent areas of the UK such as the Home Counties, The Cotswolds and around Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen enabled the Group to return to profitability in 2011 for the first time since 2007, one year ahead of management’s plans.
