ICG was awarded ‘Real Estate Manager of the Year’ at the UK Professional Pensions Awards 2025. The Awards recognise excellence among schemes, consultants, asset managers and providers.

"Sentiment is improving, albeit off a low base, and real estate funds deployed at 2024 and 2025 asset pricing will be a good vintage."

"The retirement market has compelling demographics supporting it, which is expected to encourage future demand. We see this development as a great opportunity to enter the market alongside experienced sponsorship, in a prime location with strong micro fundamentals."

"ICG Real Estate is a leading investor in global real estate and we are excited to be part of this further expansion. I look forward to working with new colleagues as we extend the platform’s successful strategy with offerings tailored to the US market."

ICG Real Estate’s Global Head, Krysto Nikolic, was named as one of twenty ‘Most Influential in Real Estate 2025’ by Private Equity News. Krysto has led over €14bn of real estate acquisitions in his career.

"The sale and leaseback market in Europe is highly fragmented and the majority of assets are outside of the institutional real estate ownership. We estimate that more than two-thirds of the total asset volume is held by European corporates, frequently as owner occupiers."

"This transaction underscores our ability to work in collaboration with corporate occupiers to find innovative solutions that ensure their long-term real estate needs while also providing immediate value appreciation for our investors."

“As global megatrends around urbanisation and digitalisation accelerate, real estate markets are being reshaped in ways that present compelling opportunities for alternative lenders.”

ICG was awarded Commercial Real Estate Debt Manager of the Year, for a second consecutive year. Professional Pensions’ robust methodology considers performance over both a 12 month and three year time period.
