What we look for in investments
Operational real estate businesses exhibit the three key characteristics we look for in investments. They are asset-backed through the properties the businesses own, with the rental income generated from the assets providing a reliable stream of revenue.
Real estate is experiencing strong demand in markets around the world. Often the assets have been under-invested and under-managed, leaving scope for transformation.
Terra Firma has a deep understanding of the real estate market and its core value drivers gained from owning and financing real estate assets over many years.
We have proven experience in directly owning real estate, maximising the underlying value of real estate assets by enhancing the operating businesses, granular work-outs of real estate loan portfolios and asset-backed debt structuring.
