We are harnessing our retail real estate experience to create vibrant and future-proof destinations in the urban realm.

How we do it

There are three key drivers that propel our business. Firstly, we have deep-rooted local capabilities that allow our country teams to buy, develop, let and manage properties that are the best possible fit for our tenants. Secondly, we design and manage our specialist strategies to anticipate and respond to constantly changing occupier markets and customer needs. This approach helps us to find locations with the most relevant, sustainable and inspiring real estate, translating into solid returns for our investors. And finally, in the international real estate environment, Redevco’s scale and footprint enable us to leverage the collective knowledge of our network of expert transaction and asset management teams on the ground.

Our mission and beliefs

In 2022 Redevco reaffirmed its resolve to have a positive impact by adopting a new mission statement: To lead the transformation of cities to ensure they are sustainable and liveable. We use our knowledge, expertise and experience in the following four areas to help cities become more sustainable and liveable:
1. combatting climate change by reducing the environmental impact of the assets we manage as well as our own operation.
2. increasing the availability of sustainable and affordable housing.
3. making existing locations vibrant, dynamic, and sustainable.
4. accelerating to a more circular and regenerative economic model.

At Redevco we have a strategic focus on innovation, interpreting market trends and how we could respond to the – changing – needs of our customers. The pace of change in the market has been increasing significantly; not just because of the abundance of data that has become available and the exponential growth of technical solutions. But also because of the need to combat climate change. Marrit Laning, Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer is responsible for both the innovation and sustainability department as we see a direct link between the two. Last year we set up an Innovation Board. The board is there to help us achieve our innovation targets in an efficient way and build a portfolio of innovations. The Innovation Board comprises our CEO, our CSIO, our Head of Innovation and the Head of Information Technology. The board members have agreed on an innovation agenda to bring focus to all the innovation ideas or developments that are out there.

How we govern

We have set up our organisational structure in a way that increases speed, agility and focus as a platform, while maintaining Redevco’s strengths in local markets through our country-based asset management and specialist teams across Europe. The four Redevco Board members oversee the different functional areas within the business, and each of these functions focuses on a particular part of the business as it prepares and implements Board and Management Team decisions in their respective areas of expertise. This structure helps to maintain clear responsibility and accountability for day-to-day operational management. The Management Team consists of the members of the Redevco Board, the Co-Heads of Client & Fund Management and the Head of Global Transaction Management. The Management Team reaches decisions collectively so that they can be properly and speedily implemented across all of Redevco’s activities.

Our committees

The Investment Committee, chaired by our CEO, makes all investment and divestment decisions. Its members include the CFO, the CSIO and the Head of Global Transactions, the Managing Directors of Transaction Management and the Managing Directors of Fund Management.

The purpose of the Information Security Committee (ISC) is to advise the Management Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with regard to Redevco’s information security programmes and risks. The ISC consists of the CFO, General Counsel, the Head of Governance, Risk Management and Compliance, the Head of Information Technology and the Manager IT Infrastructure & Support.
