Three Key Reasons to Invest in Hines European Property Partners
First Asset Acquired in Q4 2022
HEPP had no legacy assets coming into the market downturn and made its first acquisitions in Q4 2022. The Fund is well positioned and has significant available equity to capitalize on opportunities resulting from market dislocation.
Flexibility
The Fund's open-ended nature and long-term buy and hold strategy provide flexibility on implementation of business plans and investment decisions. Limited reliance on financing to achieve target returns also allows financing flexibility at a time when debt is less accretive.
Proven Disciplined Strategy
The Fund strategy is informed by long-term structural income drivers such as technological advancements, demographic shifts, and climate change. HEPP aims to enhance value at the asset level through active management, incorporating ESG initiatives to meet new demand patterns.
