Remon Vos, CEO for CTP caught up with PropertyEU during EXPO REAL (Messe München) 2024. In this video interview, Remon describes the leasing activity across CTP in 2024. He outlines where he expects demand to come from in 2025 and beyond and discusses CTP's growth in the German market. Finally Remon discusses €300m CTP has recently raised for expansion and how they will look to deploy that capital.

The overriding message from this year’s EXPO REAL (Messe München) was that the market has turned the corner and is poised to enter a new cycle. The only way is up - that was the ubiquitous message to come out of this year’s #ExpoReal in Munich. The real estate sector may have been through a difficult couple of years, with rising interest rates scuppering investment strategies for many businesses, but the feeling is very much that the worst is now firmly in the rear view mirror. ‘Those of our clients who have room in their portfolio for real estate are becoming active again,’ Paul Gibson, chief investment officer, EMEA direct real estate strategies, at CBRE Investment Management, told PropertyEU. ‘There are reasons to feel pretty optimistic about returns going forward.’ https://lnkd.in/e8wau489

Alexandre Grellier, CEO for Drooms joined PropertyEU during his visit to EXPO REAL (Messe München) 2024 to discuss the challenges data rooms and the challenges they may face in the future. Alexandre also introduces Drooms chat, a new tool the company has launched and what his goals are with this new tool. Finally, Alexandre addresses AI, outlining how AI can help to optimise data rooms and help to make transaction processes more efficient.

A lack of willing sellers is hampering deal activity in Germany, while more structured workouts are needed to resolve distressed situations, according to Kai Mende, CEO Germany at CBRE. https://lnkd.in/eAfrp6dy

‘Investors have all been standing around the edge of the pool, dipping in their toes, but no-one wants to dive in,’ said Pierre-David BAYLAC, head of logistics Europe for Generali Real Estate, speaking at this year’s #ExpoReal. https://lnkd.in/ehM-Eu34

Pepijn Morshuis, CEO of developer and investor Trei Real Estate Estate, is ‘cautiously optimistic’ on market prospects halfway through this year’s #ExpoReal. ‘There’s a real sense that everyone wants to get started again,’ he told PropertyEU. ‘There is plenty of money out there, but everyone is thinking about how to invest it. It sounds like the market has definitely turned the corner; it’s not at full speed, but we’re moving from first gear to second.’ Trei is an active developer, particularly in the residential for rent space, and Morshuis noted that the firm had managed to take a number of projects forward thanks to some strategic planning. ‘A lot of the land we are building on, we have had in ownership for some time, so the cost basis is low,’ he said. ‘And we are not very highly leveraged, so we haven’t been hit with a lot of the problems that developers experience.’ https://lnkd.in/eW7TDXpa

The mood at #ExpoReal is vastly improved compared to 2023 but further interest rate cuts will be required before the market fully recovers, according to Jorge Zawerthal Duarte, fund manager at Hines. https://lnkd.in/ehQi5mta
