Manova Partners, an international real estate investment manager, takes stock of the year 2025. In total, the company achieved a transaction volume of EUR 535 million. Of this, at around EUR 225 million, just over 40 percent was attributable to acquisitions and around EUR 312 million to sales. A total of eight properties were sold, with the focus on office and logistics properties in the USA. A large part of the acquisitions can be traced back to two large-volume properties in the USA and Poland. The acquisition in Warsaw is the "Vibe A" office property in the City Center West submarket, while the US property is a mixed-use property in Silicon Valley in California. The purchase price will continue in 2026. In the first three months of the year, acquisitions worth EUR 187 million were already concluded or are at an advanced stage of acquisition negotiations.
At the same time, the focus was on working on the existing portfolio. A total of 2025 new lettings for around 410,000 square metres were concluded. Of this, 255,000 square metres are in Europe, around 87,000 in Latin America and around 72,400 in the USA. The portfolio's occupancy rate reached around 93 percent at the end of 2025. Manova was also active on the financing side of the portfolio: a total of 13 financings worth around EUR 530 million were completed or extended in 2025. Assets under management stood at EUR 10.4 billion at the end of 2025.
Florian Winkle, Co-CEO of Manova Partners, comments: "In 2025, our focus was on transactions. We have taken advantage of existing opportunities in the interests of our investors and divested ourselves of office properties and logistics properties. Demand was particularly high for our logistics properties and we were able to achieve good prices. In 2026, we want to be more on the buyer side again."
Looking ahead to the new year, Christian Göbel, Co-CEO of Manova Partners, says: "Our strategic focus continues to be on logistics properties in Europe and Mexico. Above all, we want to drive the growth of our European logistics real estate fund. In addition, we plan to take advantage of cyclical opportunities in the office segment worldwide. As an admixture, data centers in Europe are also possible for us. We are currently intensively screening the market here. We find the Nordics particularly attractive as locations."
In addition, the asset management division for third parties is to be expanded in the new year. "We see a great demand here. In challenging times, the demand for professional support in real estate management increases," comments Göbel.
