Blackbrook Capital

Blackbrook Capital is a specialist investment firm focusing on future-proof supply chain infrastructure across Europe

Blackbrook was established on the principle that commercial real estate occupiers are better served investing their capital in their core business activities and growth initiatives, rather than tying up capital in real estate assets.

Blackbrook not only provides strategic capital to companies through sustainable Sale-Leaseback and Build to Suit financing solutions, but also specialises in acquiring and developing future-proof supply chain assets in under-served markets in order to provide the critical logistics infrastructure required to support growth and meet consumer needs.

We look for opportunities where we can add significant value for tenants who are looking to grow their businesses, while also creating long-term value through transitioning to a greener and more environmentally sustainable future.

Blackbrook has a long track record of investing in mission critical supply-chain assets, and other real estate where we see long-term opportunity. Our team has experience extending to over €20 billion of real estate investments in more than 20 countries across Europe and North America.

The Blackbrook Impact

Alongside every investment made by Blackbrook, we support the local community through charitable contributions in a manner that both we and our occupiers believe will have the most impact.

Blackbrook’s sustainability program primarily supports community real estate ESG improvement, social and charitable initiatives in the regions where we invest, as well as in education and healthcare, and making donations towards crisis management funds. Blackbrook also supports employee’s own charitable initiatives through direct and matching donations.
