Manova Partners commences operations as an independent real estate manager following separation from Macquarie Group
Company ownership held by employees
Approximately 12 billion euros in assets under management in 170 properties
Investment focus on Latin America, USA and Europe
Munich, 2 December 2024 - Manova Partners today announces its repositioning as an independent, internationally active real estate asset manager following its separation from Australia’s Macquarie Group. The company was founded in 2000 as GLL Real Estate Partners and has been part of the Macquarie Group since 2018
Manova Partners’ approximately 150 employees currently manage a global property portfolio of 170 properties in the office, logistics, residential and retail property sectors from 17 locations in Europe, the USA, Latin America and Asia.
With assets under management of approximately €12 billion, Manova Partners is one of the leading boutique managers in the industry. The company focuses on creating real estate products and solutions catered to institutional investors and family offices.
The company will be headquartered in Munich and managed by its two co-CEOs Christian Göbel and Florian Winkle. Florian Winkle says: "We are a well-rehearsed team. Christian Göbel and I have been working together successfully for many years. Additionally, we are very proud of our long-term partnership with our investors. We structure our mandates and products within the framework of long-term trends and orient ourselves to client requirements. As a boutique company with a long-standing institutional track record, we can offer customised services that other asset managers no longer offer due to their corporate requirements."
The corporate culture at Manova Partners is international and entrepreneurial. Approximately 150 employees representing 15 nationalities are joining the company in connection with the spin-off. Christian Göbel says: " All employees are partners in our company. This means that the entire team identifies with the quality of our services and the performance of our products. This promotes a culture of shared responsibility and joint success. We want to offer our clients a reliable platform for managing their portfolios characterised by integrity, local expertise and the reach of a global network."
Manova Partners invests in Europe, the US, Latin America and Australia. The company serves the Asian market with an office in Korea. According to the two co-CEOs, Manova Partners currently has around € one billion in committed equity capital and intends to continue targeting the office, logistics, retail and residential property sectors.
