Dartriver teams up with Conren and Indigo to launch new firm

Dartriver London has teamed up with Conren Land and Indigo Invest with plans to launch a joint venture targeting £1 billion in London office investment in the next three to five years.

 German investment manager Conren Land has overseen many investment programmes for private investors and institutional capital, and has executed more than €1 billion (£870 million) of deals in Spain and Germany over the past two years. Independent German real estate investment company Indigo Invest has made significant investments in Germany, Spain and the Netherlands, and entered the UK market in 2016.

The joint venture, CLI Dartriver, will be headed by former Great Portland Estates directors Neil Thompson and Ben Chambers, who set up Dartriver last March. It has been formed with the intention of investing predominantly in the central London office market, with a focus on value-add opportunities to maximise returns as well as some mixed-use schemes.

Thompson says, “Conren Land and Indigo are ideal partners for us… Together we will invest on behalf of significant private capital focusing on the long-term strengths of the London market… London is adapting to new market conditions with an ever-broadening occupier base and sustained demand for investment opportunities. This commitment from Conren Land and Indigo Invest is a tremendous endorsement for the UK and London in particular. We are looking forward to building the new business venture together.”
