food-anchored retail real estate with GRR
A good investment:
We are one of the leading experts for food-anchored retail real estate. Our focus is on retail properties, which we hold both in funds and individual mandates. Since our foundation in 2005, we have grown steadily and have continuously increased our managed volume.
GRR stands for:
- High-performance funds for institutional investors
- Successful asset and property management and a high level of expertise in new builds and conversions
- Food-anchored retail real estate throughout Germany
We act as an interface between long-term institutional investors and active entrepreneurship. This means that we see things from both the user’s and owner’s perspective – because they represent two sides of the same coin. This is why we invest in properties that best support the growth potential of their users and take risks with our own capital. Our investment philosophy is rounded off by a well-founded research approach and continuous dialogue with colleagues from all GARBE divisions.
