nvesco Real Estate, managing $88 billion in global real estate investments, achieved significant lending momentum in 2024. The company secured $3 billion in loan commitments across 45 unique loans in North America and Europe, with a focus on multifamily and industrial sectors that comprised 96% of transactions. In the fourth quarter alone, Invesco Real Estate closed $1 billion in loan commitments, spanning 15 floating rate senior loans in North America and one whole loan facility in Europe.

    Since launching its real estate credit platform in 2017, Invesco Real Estate has committed $18 billion across over 252 transactions. The company's performance in 2024 marked a 215% year-over-year increase in investment activity, with loan origination volume growing for four consecutive quarters. Key transactions included a €272.0 million floating-rate senior loan for logistics warehouses in Europe and a $260.5 million industrial credit facility in the US.

    Invesco Real Estate's strategic focus on multifamily and industrial sectors is particularly noteworthy, as these property types have demonstrated resilience compared to office and retail properties facing ongoing structural challenges. The company's disciplined "credit-over-yield" mandate suggests it prioritizes asset quality and downside protection over chasing returns through riskier investments.

    The company's ability to deploy capital across the capital stack - from senior loans to mezzanine financing - provides flexibility to optimize risk-return profiles. For institutional investors seeking real estate exposure through Invesco's funds, this expanding credit platform offers additional avenues for potential returns beyond traditional equity investments.

    Invesco Real Estate has navigated market cycles for over 40 years, expanding into new sectors and geographies to uncover attractive opportunities across the real estate investment spectrum. The company's approach is grounded in its key principles: a focus on clients, people, and a "credit-over-yield" mandate. Its expertise across the capital structure, sectors, and regions helps inform its investment strategy.

    The company's 2024 loan highlights include €272.0 million floating-rate senior loan for logistics warehouses in Europe, $260.5 million industrial credit facility in the US, and multiple significant investments in industrial and multifamily properties across strategic locations.
