Advancing through Excellence:
Our mission is to generate value in the real estate domain together with our partners.
About us
Stonegate Capital is a distinguished property investment and development firm committed to delivering enduring value. We engage closely with family offices, ultra-high-net-worth individuals, and institutional investors, including REITs, investment banks, pension and government funds.
Our Investment Strategy
At our firm, we implement a dual-strategy investment approach. On one hand, we focus on secure, long-term core investments, while on the other, we engage in special situations that present unique opportunities. We select geographical areas with robust, sustainable economic growth potential, including regions like Benelux, Germany, and the UK. Our investment process is driven by meticulous due diligence to pinpoint and mitigate potential risks, as well as to discover operational chances that could enhance the value and stability of our assets and portfolios. We are committed to measurable goals and strong performance metrics to ensure the outcomes we strive for.
Our Principal Investment Fund targets the creation and nurturing of substantial, enduring investment ventures for both our team and our partners. We focus on essential market sectors with solid growth prospects, including residential areas, light industrial, healthcare facilities, logistics, and commercial assets in strategic locations. Our approach involves proactive asset management and innovative financial strategies to consistently enhance asset performance and unlock additional value. This Fund is designed around a Buy-and-Hold investment approach.
Our Opportunistic Investments Fund employs a proactive "buy, improve, sell" strategy, aimed at securing challenging real estate projects, enhancing their value, and either selling them to a final buyer or incorporating them into our main investment Fund. This branch of our firm is particularly dynamic, targeting a range of unique projects—including new and redeveloped sites, usage conversions, unfinished developments, distressed properties, and complex lease restructurings.
ESG Stonegate Capital
As an active player in the real estate sector, integrating ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) principles is crucial for our company. By prioritizing sustainability, social responsibility, and ethical governance in our strategy, we not only strengthen our market position but also contribute positively to the communities where we operate. We implement green construction practices and strive for energy efficiency in our projects to minimize the environmental footprint. At the same time, we are committed to social engagement through inclusive development projects that are accessible to a wide audience and ensure transparent operations to maintain the trust of our stakeholders. This holistic approach to ESG promotes sustainable growth and long-term value creation for our investors and the broader society.
