VICTORIAPARTNERS GmbH has established itself as a leading investment banking boutique specializing in real estate capital markets across the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) and neighboring European countries.
Founded in late 2013, the firm has rapidly built an impressive track record in real estate financial advisory.
The firm's credentials are substantial: over 70 successfully completed transactions with a combined volume exceeding €50 billion, alongside more than €3 billion in institutional capital raised for non-listed investment products.
This positions VICTORIAPARTNERS as one of the leading placement agents in the European real estate sector.
Based in Frankfurt am Main, Germany's financial capital, VICTORIAPARTNERS operates as a specialized boutique that combines deep sector expertise with sophisticated transaction capabilities.
The firm serves both institutional investors seeking real estate exposure and asset managers requiring capital raising and strategic advisory services.
Their focus on the DACH region and adjacent European markets allows for specialized knowledge of local market dynamics, regulatory environments, and investor networks.
As a registered investment firm authorized across EU states, VICTORIAPARTNERS maintains the regulatory credentials necessary to operate across multiple European jurisdictions, providing cross-border advisory services to sophisticated institutional clients.
VICTORIAPARTNERS offers three core service lines focused exclusively on real estate:
M&A Advisory: The firm advises on mergers and acquisitions within the real estate sector, including corporate transactions, portfolio acquisitions, and strategic combinations.
This includes advising real estate companies, property developers, and financial sponsors on buy-side and sell-side mandates.
Capital Markets Advisory: VICTORIAPARTNERS provides comprehensive capital markets advisory services, helping real estate companies access debt and equity financing across public and private markets.
This includes structuring transactions, pricing guidance, and placement with institutional investors.
Institutional Capital & Funds Advisory: A key differentiator for the firm, this practice advises reputable asset and investment managers on the commercial and technical structuring of investment vehicles.
The firm has raised over €3 billion in institutional capital for non-listed real estate investment products, serving as a placement agent connecting fund managers with institutional investors including pension funds, insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds, and family offices.
This involves fund formation, investor identification, fundraising strategy, and closing coordination.
VICTORIAPARTNERS is headquartered in Frankfurt am Main, Germany's premier financial center, with offices located in the Turmcenter on the 21st floor at Eschersheimer LandstraĂźe 14, 60322 Frankfurt am Main.
The firm's primary geographic focus is the DACH region (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland) along with neighboring European countries.
This regional specialization allows the firm to maintain deep local market knowledge while serving cross-border transactions throughout Central and Western Europe.
As a registered investment firm authorized across EU member states (listed on Italy's CONSOB registry of EU-authorized investment firms), VICTORIAPARTNERS maintains the regulatory permissions necessary to provide cross-border advisory services throughout the European Union, enabling seamless execution of pan-European mandates.
Since its founding in 2013, VICTORIAPARTNERS has established an impressive transaction track record in the European real estate sector:
- 70+ completed transactions across M&A, capital markets, and fund advisory mandates
This track record positions the firm among the most active independent real estate investment banking boutiques in the DACH region.
The firm's ability to consistently execute transactions of significant scale reflects both its technical capabilities and deep relationships with institutional investors and real estate companies across Europe.
The firm's specialization in real estate, combined with its boutique structure, allows for senior-level attention on every mandate and alignment of interests with clients—a key differentiator from larger, multi-sector investment banks.
VICTORIAPARTNERS has carved out a distinctive niche as a pure-play real estate investment banking boutique.
Unlike generalist investment banks, the firm focuses exclusively on real estate across all service lines.
Sector Focus: The firm specializes in commercial real estate, including office, retail, industrial/logistics, residential, and hospitality assets.
Their expertise spans the full spectrum of real estate transaction types from corporate M&A to asset-level portfolio transactions.
Client Base: VICTORIAPARTNERS serves three primary client constituencies:
Institutional Capital Raising: A particular area of expertise is structuring and raising capital for non-listed real estate investment vehicles.
The firm advises on fund formation, investor targeting, and capital raising for closed-end funds, open-end funds, club deals, and co-investment structures.
Regional Expertise: By concentrating on the DACH region and neighboring European markets, VICTORIAPARTNERS maintains deep knowledge of local market conditions, regulatory frameworks, investor preferences, and competitive dynamics that larger global banks may lack.
