Services

We are careful stewards of capital, trusted by some of the world’s largest and most successful institutional investors, including major endowments, sovereign wealth funds, and retirement systems. We give institutions and private wealth access to institutional-quality real estate investments within three main investment strategies: Core/Core Plus, Value Add, and Opportunistic.

Our clients enjoy attractive, risk-adjusted returns while remaining protected against downside risk thanks to our tailored approach. We are active, and always accountable, which gives us the flexibility to adjust our partners’ changing needs and market cycles.

We’re real estate experts. Akkord always seeks to drive and enhance asset performance through the entire life cycle of the investment by leveraging our deep operating experience. Our core real estate capabilities include leasing, financing, development, design and construction, and property and facilities management.

We also add value to investments through hands-on asset management, including ongoing operational and expense optimisation in order to drive net operating Income; proactive management of tenancies, with strong attention to rental income; lease expirations, and renewals; and the physical repositioning and enhancement of assets. We do all of the above by assembling bespoke asset management teams that execute strategies and stay alongside our partners’ throughout the entire journey.

We always take decisive action to protect the interests of our clients, address their challenges, and support them in their objectives. We work directly with lenders who anticipate debt covenant breaches or already have defaulted loans.

We also actively work to take possession and operational control of distressed assets across all sectors, structure asset management plans, manage existing tenant relationships and other stakeholder interests, and manage sale processes in order to maximise pricing and loan recovery.

Akkord is committed to investing our energy and knowledge into delivering exceptional, and sustainable, development projects and we apply this philosophy to every asset we work on. Our aim is to maximise stakeholder returns and community wellbeing, whilst minimising impact on the environment. From Visioning and Master planning through to Development Management and Commissioning, we have extensive experience delivering a wide range of successful commercial and residential developments across Europe.

The holistic understanding that we've developed over the years as both investors and developers is a critical component to creating assets with long-term, economic, and sustainable growth prospects, future-proofed for the challenges our industry faces.

We are passionate about sustainability. Integrating it into our investment and asset management process is critical to enhancing property values. As such, we devise sustainability frameworks that encompass the investment’s lifecycle —from acquisition and asset management, through to disposal. These frameworks include the repositioning of existing assets, in order to improve their environmental and social performance.

Any robust sustainability management system needs to clearly define and understand the inherent risks and opportunities. Through consultation with clients, Akkord always establishes the ESG objective of an asset, before incorporating ESG risk mitigation measures into its investment and management processes.

A robust leasing and commercialisation strategy is the foundation of any successful asset management plan, and proactive tenant engagement is fundamental to maximising performance, occupancy, and income over an investment’s lifecycle. Akkord has a wealth of experience developing innovative and successful leasing strategies across all major use sectors (office, retail, logistics, and BTR).

Our expertise includes market analysis, identifying the property owner’s objectives, optimising the floor space, maximising attractiveness for tenants, plus the creation of branding and marketing assets, negotiating leases, and —crucially— developing positive, and mutually productive investor-tenant relationships.
