Luxembourg-based real estate investment manager Corestate Capital has agreed to acquire French peer Stam Europe.

Set up in 1997, Stam specialises in office, logistics, residential and retail assets. The firm’s staff headcount is 25.

Stam CEO Edward Bates said: “Being part of Corestate will give our investors much greater access to European real estate products and services.

“The increasing regulatory and customer requirements in areas such as transparency, fund management and ESG can be addressed much better as part of a joined platform.”

The acquisition will add nearly €2bn in assets to Corestate’s books, taking its assets under management to €28bn.

The companies did not reveal the value of the deal, which is pending regulatory nod.

Deal completion is anticipated in the final quarter of this year.

Apart from Luxembourg, Corestate currently has a presence in 42 locations including Frankfurt, London, Madrid, Singapore and Zurich. The firm’s employee strength is about 700.
