Empira launches German Living strategy with UBS as anchor investor   We are pleased to announce the launch of our EMPIRA German Living strategy, with UBS committing over EUR 158 million as anchor investor. The strategy focuses on building a diversified portfolio of income-generating residential assets across German A-, B- and C-cities, underpinned by a disciplined manage-to-core approach. Leveraging our vertically integrated platform, we aim to drive operational efficiency and create long-term value through active asset management and targeted energy refurbishment initiatives.   Jorge Veiga Juiz, CFA, MBA, Global Head of Client Solutions, Empira Group: “The launch of the German Living strategy marks an important milestone in our growth trajectory. As Europe’s largest rental market, Germany offers a structurally attractive environment for institutional investors. The partnership with UBS Unified Global Alternatives as anchor investor underscores the confidence in our platform and our investment capabilities.”   Ilias Harcha, Executive Director, UBS: “Our investment reflects a high level of conviction in Empira’s integrated platform and its ability to execute a disciplined manage-to-core strategy in the German residential market. The combination of strong local expertise, operational capabilities and a clearly defined investment framework provides a robust foundation for delivering long-term, risk-adjusted returns for our clients.” The seed portfolio will be built across Germany’s top seven cities, with a target fund size of EUR 350 million.
