aid press release – inquiries should be directed to the distributor. EQT Real Estate has agreed, together with Pictet Alternative Advisors, to purchase a residential complex in Mahlow, a suburb on Berlin’s southern edge. The portfolio contains 17 buildings covering roughly 34,000 m², 477 apartments, six commercial spaces and 520 parking bays. Residents benefit from a direct rail link to central Berlin and the area’s proximity to the new Berlin Brandenburg Airport and other infrastructure projects.

    This deal marks a key expansion of EQT’s European Living Strategy, which targets high‑quality, modern, affordable housing in supply‑constrained urban zones that promise stable, long‑term value. “The acquisition is a milestone for our German residential focus,” said Dave O’Brien, Director of German Living Strategies. “The portfolio, sourced through strong local ties, offers attractive value‑add potential within commuting distance to Berlin – an area experiencing population growth, improved infrastructure and a robust mix of amenities. Similar opportunities exist across Germany’s major metros, where limited new supply and rising demand create compelling investment conditions in well‑connected, socially rich locales.”

    Tom Livelli, Partner and Head of Living Strategies, added, “This transaction exemplifies our approach: acquiring well‑located properties, aggregating them, and transforming them into high‑quality, purpose‑built homes that serve tenants and investors alike. Well‑connected suburban areas around Europe’s major cities will continue to deliver modern, affordable living opportunities.”
