In Europe’s alternative property sectors, value isn’t just in the asset—it’s in how you access and operate it. With limited institutional ownership and a fragmented landscape in Europe, experienced investors can extract value beyond the physical asset. At Heitman, we see this as a timely opportunity.

With €9B invested and nearly two decades of experience in Europe, Heitman is finding value in sectors where demand is resilient, supply is scarce, and operational expertise makes a real difference.

In Europe, there is limited institutional ownership in the alternative property sectors and off-market deal sourcing is a key to access.

In a world of economic uncertainty, real estate sectors driven by needs-based demand offer resilience.

From dynamic pricing to centralized purchasing, Heitman applies tested strategies that can value in sectors where traditional levers don’t apply.

Current European markets resemble the evolution of alternative property types the U.S. experienced for the past few decades.

With more than 60 years real estate investing, Heitman has been at the forefront of alternative property types globally.

While some real estate dynamics and sectors face headwinds, Heitman is identifying investment opportunities in the alternative sectors across the globe. Our seasoned investment research team is embedded in every step of a property’s life cycle, across sectors and geographies, helping Heitman access opportunities and seek value for our investors.

We believe now is an attractive time to invest in the Europe alternative sectors:

Faster, deeper correction in Europe positions the region for recovery, where inflation is declining and values appear to be stabilizing

Leverage market dislocation but with mitigated risk because demand is primarily driven by need

Greater value creation potential in the alternative sectors through physical, operational and platform opportunities

Investors seeking Europe alternative sectors recognize the beginning of institutionalization and the growth potential in operational real estate
