FOLK Co-Living
Folk Co-Living is the world’s first institutional large-scale co-living fund targeting a gross asset value of £1 billion over its ten-year life. The fund offers an innovative solution to London’s housing shortage by increasing the supply of an alternative and much in-demand housing typology.
Since inception, we have funded the development of co-living assets across London in Harrow, Earlsfield, and Battersea, comprising over 800 co-living units. All the assets have been fully stabilised and are being operated under DTZ Investors’ Folk Co-Living brand.

French Logistics
Launched in partnership with Pitch Promotion, a leading developer of logistics assets in France, FLF ONE is a specialist development fund. The fund aims to capitalise on the strategic shifts in the European logistics sector by exploiting the structural demand/supply imbalances in the French logistics markets and aims to deliver value-add returns from taking core-plus risk.
There has been limited speculative development in European logistics markets over the past decade and so new construction has been very much focused on delivering design and build / turnkey facilities for traditional end users. FLF ONE will take advantage of the trend for purpose-built provision of logistics assets, where growing e-commerce patterns in particular require larger platforms to facilitate business need.
Our approach is to secure land, negotiate town-planning consents, market for pre-lets, build-to-suit, and harvest income. The fund has a minimum seven-year life.

European Fund of Funds

Approximately €100m of client equity was committed to best-in-class strategies across Europe, including: emerging markets retail; western Europe industrial and logistics; German residential; capital city repositioning; value-add Nordics. At its peak, the fund provided investors with indirect exposure to €8 billion of pan-European real estate. The fund had a ten-year life and entered wind-down in 2018.

Japan Logistics
Japan’s logistics market is concentrated in major metropolitan areas. Prime facilities are distinctive due to their multi-storey warehouse format, reflecting limited land availability and a focus on higher density urban development, particularly in Greater Tokyo and Osaka.
Modern design incorporates advanced automation and cold storage capabilities to support e-commerce growth and food distribution in facilities that are close to infrastructure nodes and consumer hubs.
We operate our logistics assets under the LF Series, currently covering approximately ten assets offering 500,000 sq.m. of occupiable space with a Gross Asset Value well in excess of $1 billion. Most facilities in the LF Series have been developed speculatively adjoining major infrastructure investments in the Greater Tokyo and Greater Kansai economic regions. Assets have been developed to a high standard of environmental certification and are managed to retain their energy-efficiency.
