Heitman

Let’s get...operational?    Value in real estate can be created by more than just brick and mortar improvements; combining physical upgrades with operational and organizational improvements can create durable value in real estate assets that can compound over time and across market cycles.     Listen to Caleb Mercer, Head of European Investment at Heitman, share how these levers can not only be proven—they can be repeatable. The ability to implement them across fragmented European markets is what sets Heitman apart.    Learn more about how Heitman creates value in its Europe Value Series: https://lnkd.in/gHCi9gJF

At Heitman, we believe meaningful change starts with meaningful action.    Last month, a group of Heitman volunteers partnered with The Anti-Cruelty Society to support their mission of compassion and care. Our team spent the afternoon crafting toys and beds for the animals, while also engaging directly with the dogs and cats awaiting adoption.    These handmade items are already making a difference - bringing comfort, enrichment, and a little joy to animals as they wait for their forever homes.    We’re proud to support organizations that share our commitment to the community.

Global real estate valuations appear to be showing signs of stabilization, with attractive entry points emerging across global markets. Adjusted cap rates, constrained supply, and resilient fundamentals make this a potentially attractive vintage year for lower risk strategies, and institutional investors may want to take a closer look at globally diversified strategies.    Learn more about Heitman’s global core-plus approach: https://lnkd.in/ggwd526c 

At Heitman’s annual European Fund meeting, Siddharth Natarajan, Senior Vice President in Heitman's European Investment Team, and Caleb Mercer, Head of European Real Estate Investment, provided our investors with a firsthand look at one of our residential assets in Oslo.    As Europe’s second-fastest growing major city, Oslo faces significant supply constraints that limit new residential development. This dynamic supports both operational outperformance and sustained price growth, reinforcing the strength of Heitman’s residential investment strategy in the region. 

Heitman was proud to attend and serve as a Platinum Sponsor of The Goldie Initiative: Goldie B. Wolfe Miller Women Leaders in Real Estate’s 2025 Goldie Gala, held at Chicago’s historic Union Station on September 18th. The annual event brought together leaders from across the commercial real estate industry for an evening of connection, celebration, and purpose. Our team was honored to represent Heitman and support The Goldie Initiative’s mission to advance women in real estate through scholarship and leadership development.

Heitman is proud to announce that our flagship North American core private equity fund, Heitman America Real Estate Trust (“HART”), was once again rated in the top decile amongst its peer group of 58 funds in the 2025 Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (“GRESB”). HART ranked 3rd and earned this recognition by outperforming the peer group average in all 14 indicators. The fund has been ranked among the top five funds for four consecutive years in its category, underscoring Heitman's commitment to sustainability initiatives that enhance outcomes for our investors.    HART continues to drive operational excellence and estimates an annual dividend yield enhancement of 3bps from $8.4 million in sustainability-driven revenue and expense savings generated from solar leases, building efficiency investments, energy contracts, and energy reductions. We continue to implement sustainable initiatives that aim to benefit our investors by mitigating risk, enhancing portfolio assets, and expanding yields.    For more information on the 2025 GRESB reporting and rating process, visit: https://lnkd.in/eYH3iJMN  Footnotes:  GRESB B.V. (GRESB) created and tabulated the Fund’s score, which covers activities taking place during calendar years 2023 and 2024 and is typically released on or around October 1 after a submission is made to GRESB. A participation assessment fee is paid for such submission. HART is a member of the GRESB Real Estate Assessment: US Diversified Core fund peer group. GRESB classifies peer groups based on the asset characteristics of the portfolios reported. The Fund’s GRESB rating is based on the assets in the Fund held at any point during the reporting year as of December 31, 2024. The Fund considers sustainability factors in the total mix of data used to make investment decisions. In addition to sustainability factors, the Fund will weigh other considerations with equal and in some cases preferred prominence. 

At Heitman’s annual European Fund Meeting in Stockholm, investors participated in a site visit to Servistore — Sweden’s third-largest self-storage operator — gaining firsthand insight into the country’s dynamic self-storage sector.       With its strong fundamentals and high levels of product awareness, we believe that Sweden presents a compelling opportunity in self-storage. Despite robust demand, we believe the market remains under-saturated, creating room for rent growth and long-term value creation.     Heitman is well positioned to expand our footprint through the continued expansion of the Servistore portfolio, which is aligned with our conviction in operational excellence and scalable platforms.
