Investors
Fox Capital is your owner-managed point of contact for a targeted search for national and international real estate buyers and capital partners. The managing directors personally oversee the investor approach and the transaction process.
Segments
For owners, portfolio holders and developers selling larger properties or portfolios, generally from EUR 10m. Every type of capital has its own return expectations, decision paths and restrictions – we only approach buyers your property genuinely fits.
Single and multi family offices differ considerably: in degree of professionalisation, investment strategy, decision structure and capital commitment. Some invest directly and equity-rich, others through fund participations or club deals.
Open and closed-ended funds with a written investment policy. Reliable in process, but bound by acquisition guidelines, committees and fund restrictions.
Depending on their mandate, regulated institutional investors allocate to different real estate and financing strategies. Predictable cash flows, risk budget, regulatory requirements as well as reporting and ESG rules can all play an important role.
Alternative lenders for senior, whole loan and junior tranches. They differ from banks mainly in review grids, structural flexibility, security requirements and decision paths.
Corporates, landlords and developers buying for operational reasons. Their pricing often also reflects strategic considerations such as location, portfolio fit or operator logic.
Cross-border mandates and market entry into Germany and Switzerland. They need a local market rationale, English documentation and early clarification of structuring and tax questions with the respective advisers.

Strategies
From predictable cash flow to ground-up development – the strategy sets the return expectation, the risk profile and the deals we put in front of you.
Largely let assets in established locations with long lease terms. Value comes mainly from running cash flow, with limited management effort.
Solid assets with limited work to do: expiring leases, selective refurbishment, moderate letting tasks.
Active value creation through letting, repositioning or energy refurbishment. Success depends on build time, budget discipline, letting progress and exit window.
Development, conversion and special situations with high execution and market risk and a correspondingly high return expectation.
Exposure to the financing rather than the equity: senior, whole loan or junior tranches. Remuneration, ranking and security depend on the specific structure; remuneration may be current-pay, capitalised or otherwise contractually agreed.
Acquiring energy-weak stock with a defined refurbishment path. What matters is refurbishment cost, feasibility in occupied stock and future lettability.
Risk & return
The mapping is rough, but it shows the trade-off behind every first conversation: higher target returns typically come with higher risk, greater leverage and/or more operational or development-related complexity.
Long leases, established location
Solid standing asset with mild upside
Vacancy, refurbishment, re-letting
Development, conversion, distressed
Criteria
We take on mandates from EUR 10m of investment volume, and structure club deals with several capital providers where useful.
Focus on Germany and Switzerland, complemented by mandates in major European cities.
Direct purchase, share purchase, joint venture or participation in a financing tranche – depending on the mandate. Structuring and tax questions are for the respective advisers.
From a project-related stake to long-term portfolio build-up. Exit mechanics are agreed before signing.
Origins
Germany and Switzerland at the core, extended to major European cities and international addresses – the size of the project decides which pool we approach.
Most of our capital sits in Germany and Switzerland: family offices, pension schemes, special fund managers, foundations and private long-term holders. Short routes and known decision-makers.
Institutional investors and fund managers from major European cities, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and selected Nordic countries. Investment policies and acquisition grids differ by house.
Sovereign-linked funds, family holdings and institutional investors from the Middle East and Asia. Structuring, compliance and documentation requirements belong on the table early.
Private equity real estate houses and opportunistic investors interested in portfolios, special situations and larger single assets.
Which national and international investors it makes sense to approach depends in particular on asset class, size, risk profile, structure and current investment mandate. A blanket allocation by origin and volume rarely leads to the right buyer in practice.
Process
You send us the key data of your property or portfolio in confidence. The first exchange is directly with us, discreet and without obligation.
We assess location, condition and income profile and clarify your sale objectives: target price, timing and suitable buyer groups.
From our investor network we select the buyers that fit the property, its size and your objectives – national and international.
We approach the selected investors personally and discreetly. Your property is only presented to buyers who are genuinely reviewing it.
We compile the responses, compare the offers side by side and negotiate price, terms and timing in your interest.
We manage due diligence, contract negotiations and notarisation and stay at your side until the sale is completed.
Send us the key data of your property or portfolio in confidence. We assess which buyers and capital partners fit your plans. Investors can still register their acquisition profile.
