What We Do
With deep specialism in the workspace, logistics, and accommodation sectors, KPE creates value for investment partners through key verticals:
Direct Development
KPE has the internal capability and expertise to deliver both ground-up developments and the large-scale repositioning of standing assets. We source and acquire high-potential sites identified through our deep origination networks, with a focus on well-connected, structurally undersupplied locations with this proven long-term occupier demand. Our cross-disciplinary team, operating with experience across each phase of the asset lifecycle, is as adept at securing necessary zoning or planning permits as they are at securing debt financing. We understand development risk is fundamentally construction risk. Our execution capability stands with our longstanding supply chain relationships and access to a global network of experts to call on from across Kajima Corporation.
Asset Management
From KPE's origins as a balance sheet investor, we have a deep understanding on the importance of knowing what drives long-term value creation and performance. We apply an asset owner’s mindset to third-party management mandates. Decades of being active in our chosen markets has resulted in deep and longstanding occupier relationships, while our position within the global network of Kajima Corporation provides access to international best practices and contacts. KPE’s vertically integrated capabilities enable our cross-disciplinary team to dynamically reposition assets to ensure they remain future-proofed and relevant, guaranteeing enduring end-user and investor demand.
Development Partnerships
KPE’s decades of investing and developing across high-potential European markets has seen us foster meaningful long-term relationships with local delivery partners with proven track records of best-in-class execution. We combine balance sheet capital with programmatic partnerships alongside trusted developers to deliver repeatable strategies across our core sectors and geographies, which can be accessed by our investment partners. Our analytical discipline ensures every opportunity is underwritten against detailed market fundamentals and long-term exit dynamics. Kajima Corporation’s global expertise and KPE’s own track record provides certainty of delivery and access to high-quality deal flow.
Tactical Opportunities
The financial strength of Kajima Corporation allows Kajima Properties Europe to enter into compelling opportunities that sit outside of our primary strategies. This may include adjacent sectors to our core asset class focuses – accommodation, logistics, and workspace – or investments that sit outside our typical core-plus to value-add risk-return profile, such as operating platforms where there is the potential for opportunistic private equity-style returns.
