Real estate private equity firm Kadens Capital announces strategic partnership with Townsend Group, a global multi-manager investment platform with USD 18 billion in assets under management. As part of this cooperation, the Townsend fund TRECS IV (Secondaries and GP Capital Solutions) is committed with an investment commitment of 75 million euros. The aim of the cooperation is to establish a long-term strategic partnership with a focus on real estate investments, secondaries and investments in operational platforms.
The partnership combines Townsend Group’s global real estate expertise and institutional investment platform with Kadens Capital’s specialized European sector expertise and local investment presence. Together, the two partners intend to identify, structure and execute attractive investment opportunities in key European markets – including Germany, France, the Iberian Peninsula, Scandinavia and the United Kingdom.
“The collaboration with Townsend Group is a significant milestone for Kadens Capital,” says Matthias Cordier, founding partner of Kadens Capital. “The support of a globally leading, highly selective institutional investor underlines the strength of our business model and represents an important step in further scaling and sustainably expanding our investment platform.”
Laurie Woolmer, Head of European Special Situations at Townsend Group, adds: “This partnership reflects our goal to offer our investors carefully structured secondaries and platform investments. By working with Kadens Capital, we are combining our global institutional investment capabilities with the in-depth market and sector expertise of a specialist manager in core European markets that are strategically important for us.”
