The Firm
The Valesco Group has scaled rapidly to become one of Europe’s fastest growing private equity real estate firms, amassing AUM of ~€3 billion against a backdrop of unprecedented volatility.
The company’s ethos since inception has gone far beyond financial returns – an “impact first, real estate excellence always” approach has been the driving force. Despite real estate dealmaking repeatedly facing several macro and geo-political headwinds, Valesco’s award-winning forensic approach has seen it unlock landmark assets by capturing pricing dislocations.
Our Heritage
The name "Valesco" is derived from the Latin for growing strong together. Our central belief is that to achieve success, a win-win mentality must be woven through every approach. The Valesco Group is an impact company, driven by private equity real estate excellence.
Our CEO
“Valesco was built with impact as the objective, and real estate excellence as the discipline. We act as stewards of capital and support our people to exceed their potential - because that is how enduring impact is achieved.”
Shiraz Jiwa, CEO
