Partners Group further strengthens its Real Estate business with three
leadership appointments
25.01.2024 / 10:00 CET/CEST
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Baar-Zug, Switzerland; 25 January 2024
Partners Group, a leading global private markets firm, is further
strengthening its Real Estate business with the addition of three new senior
leaders. The appointments include Karim Habra as Global Co-Head of Real
Estate based in Zug, Switzerland, Stephen McCall as Global Head of Platforms
& OpCos based in London, UK, and Henrik Orrbeck as Co-Head of Real Estate
Europe based in London, UK. Mr. McCall will start in February, while Mr.
Habra and Mr. Orrbeck will both join the firm in March.
Karim Habra will become Global Co-Head of Real Estate alongside Mike Bryant,
who is a Partner and the firm's current Head of Real Estate. Mr. Habra has
over 25 years of industry experience and joins from Ivanhoe Cambridge, the
real estate investment arm of Canadian pension fund CDPQ, where he was Head
of Europe & Asia-Pacific and Global Head of Strategic Partnerships. Prior to
that, Mr. Habra worked at LaSalle Investment Management, where he was most
recently Head of Continental Europe; JER Partners; and GE Capital.
Stephen McCall will join Partners Group in the newly created role of Global
Head of Platforms & OpCos. Mr. McCall, who has more than 25 years of
operational leadership experience, will be responsible for overseeing the
firm's strategy for investing in real estate management teams and operating
companies. This is designed to give the firm exposure to the full value
chain in real estate investing, from sourcing through to managing and
exiting an asset. Mr. McCall was previously CEO at edyn Group, an
international hybrid hospitality platform owned by Brookfield Asset
Management. Prior to that, he spent nearly 17 years at IHG plc, most
recently as Chief Operating Officer for Europe.
Henrik Orrbeck will act as Co-Head of Real Estate Europe alongside AJ Jager,
who is a Managing Director within the team. Mr. Orrbeck has over 20 years of
industry experience and joins from EQT where he was a Partner and founding
member of the firm's real estate business. During his time at EQT, Mr.
Orrbeck raised two funds and built a European team which invested in direct
assets, operating partners, and public companies. Prior to EQT, Mr. Orrbeck
spent nearly ten years at Carlyle, rising to Director for the Nordics.
These new appointments bring a wealth of complementary experience to
Partners Group's established global team across real estate investing and
asset management, with a particular focus on platforms and operationally
intensive sectors. This reflects Partners Group's commitment to further
scaling its real estate business, which currently has USD 17 billion in
assets under management. Partners Group sees higher relative value in
alternative and operational real estate, as well as the logistics and
residential sectors.
Juri Jenkner, President, Co-Head of Investments, Partners Group, says:
'Private markets are set to play a critical role in transforming real estate
assets to meet powerful thematic growth trends, such as decarbonization,
changing consumer preferences, and digitization. We have a clear strategic
vision for how we want to grow our Real Estate business. The extensive
combined experience of Karim, Henrik, and Stephen will be extremely valuable
as we scale and navigate through disruption across occupier markets.'
Partners Group completed its first real estate investment in 1999. Since
then, the firm's Real Estate business has invested USD 28 billion globally
and grown to around 100 investment professionals across Europe, the US, and
Asia-Pacific.
