What we are looking for
We are actively sourcing car park assets across Europe – for institutional mandates as well as for our own book.
Europe-wide
Focus on the DACH region and Western European markets, EU-27 overall.
Multi-storey, underground, surface
Any operating structure, including part-ownership and ground leases (Erbbaurecht).
Sought-after locations
City centre, mixed-use districts, medical centres and airports.
Old or new
Standing assets, refurbishment cases or development projects.
Track record
Three transactions that illustrate how specialised knowledge changes the outcome.
Car park Frankfurt Central Station – 349 spaces
The lease was expiring and the market rent sat well below the passing rent. TREAM structured the acquisition and negotiated a follow-on lease with an established operator in advance – which is what made the winning bid possible. Acquired by an institutional parking fund on behalf of a pension scheme.
Car park development Berlin – 700 spaces
The original developer withdrew, the surrounding scheme was delayed and post-Covid financing proved difficult. TREAM renegotiated the lease and purchase framework and secured a lease with a well-known operator. Sold to an institutional investor via forward funding.
Underground car park Bavaria – 450 spaces
Part-ownership, a significant maintenance backlog and open legal disputes – the owner had been trying to sell since 2017. TREAM sourced a lease offer from a top-5 operator plus three competing bids, and closed within the deadline.
A multi-billion-euro asset class – with almost no specialists.
The real estate industry concentrates on residential, offices and shopping centres. Multi-storey car parks, underground garages and parking facilities are left aside – even though they sit at the centre of the energy and mobility transition: as producers, storage and distributors of energy, and as urban hubs for logistics and micro-mobility.
Specialised knowledge
17 years in parking investments, €250 million of acquisition responsibility, 50+ projects delivered. Expertise that cannot be picked up on the side by a generalist brokerage team.
Research-led
Data-driven market analysis instead of gut feeling. Every project goes through the same systematic due diligence – regardless of ticket size or client.
Skin in the game
TREAM invests its own capital in the projects it recommends. That creates a different kind of commitment than a pure brokerage mandate.
Every ticket size
Professional advice from private investors to institutional capital – from a single asset below €5 million to a €300 million mandate, at the same standard.
