London, UK – 22 Sept, 2025 – QuadReal Property Group has announced the expansion of its commercial real estate debt platform in the UK and Ireland, setting an ambitious commitment of over £2.5 billion in direct lending over the next three to five years. This move signals strong confidence in the UK and Irish markets and opens the door for further expansion across Europe.

The platform’s focus is exclusively on direct lending, building on the established success of QuadReal’s North American debt business, which currently manages over £7.5 billion and is anticipated to surpass £8 billion by the end of 2025. Support for this expansion will be provided by the London office and global team, leveraging QuadReal’s strong relationships with US and Canadian institutional sponsors who are active in the region.

In an official press release, Jonathan Dubois-Philips, President, International Real Estate at QuadReal, stated, “Platform expansion in the UK and Europe is a natural next step for QuadReal’s debt strategy and will build off the successes of our team in North America. Expanding our lending capabilities in the UK and European markets provides us with the opportunity to further diversify our portfolio and gain exposure to the attractive risk-adjusted returns these markets have to offer.”

Prashant Raj, Managing Director, Debt Investments, added, “In alignment with QuadReal’s high conviction investment strategy and global experience, the expanded platform will focus on key sectors including multifamily, student housing, data centres, industrial and self storage. The initial commitment strategy is centred on the UK and Ireland, and will expand more broadly in Europe, with a focus on construction, transitional and stabilised loans, filling a current gap in the lending market.”

Ranked among the top 20 real estate investors globally, QuadReal has completed over 165 deals in high-conviction sectors since 2021. The company aims to shift 10%–20% of its overall debt portfolio exposure to the UK and Europe by the end of 2029.

This strategic expansion underscores QuadReal’s commitment to providing capital in sectors vital to the region’s growth, including multifamily, student housing, data centres, industrial and self storage. The new platform is set to support construction, transitional and stabilised loan opportunities, addressing a key gap in the current debt market and contributing to portfolio diversification and exposure to attractive risk-adjusted returns across UK and European real estate.
