QuadReal Property Group has expanded its commercial real estate debt platform into the U.K. and Ireland with plans to commit more than £2.5 billion over the next three to five years.

The initiative, focused exclusively on direct lending, builds on the success of QuadReal’s North American debt business, which manages over £7.5 billion in investments and is projected to exceed £8 billion by the end of 2025. The U.K. and Ireland expansion will draw on the company’s London office, global team, and institutional relationships in the U.S. and Canada.

The platform will target multi-family, student housing, data centres, industrial and self-storage, with an initial focus on construction, transitional and stabilized loans. QuadReal intends to expand further into European markets and shift 10% to 20% of its overall debt portfolio exposure to the region by 2029.

Headquartered in Vancouver, QuadReal is a global real estate investment, development and operating company, and ranks among the world’s top 20 real estate investors.
