Cordea Savills has already completed approximately EUR 915 million (GBP 775 million) of transactions and has exclusivity agreements on around EUR 375 million (GBP 317 million) of new assets due to complete before year-end. Acquisitions account for 95% of this total while the remainder is disposals.
Kiran Patel, Chief Investment Officer of Cordea Savills, commented: “It has been an outstanding year for Cordea Savills. The figures demonstrate that we are currently very active in the market having won a number of single mandates from family offices and institutions, highlighting the fact that Cordea Savills is an established player in the core and core-plus space. “Our turnover rate for 2013 is likely to be 27%. This momentum will continue into 2014 since we will be starting with over GBP 500 million of spending power. With further capital raising planned, we anticipate that 2014 will be another significant year for Cordea Savills.
