Who are we?
LeadCrest Capital Partners (' LeadCrest ') is the first pan-European private equity real estate firm fully dedicated to sale-leaseback investments. It pioneers the asset class in Europe by replicating proven and time-tested strategies from the US market.

The team comes from a leading global asset and investment management firm where they developed the firm's sale-leaseback strategy and grew it to become a successful global platform. Today, backed by large preeminent institutional investors, LeadCrest is recognized by investment bankers, real estate brokers, consultants, and advisors as one of the most active sale-leaseback investors across Europe.

Why should you join?

Sale-leaseback transactions have experienced tremendous growth with an opportunity set of €8 trillion, with a transaction volume that has increased 3x from c. €10 billion to c. €30 billion over the past decade. European companies are increasingly tapping this non-bank financing source to fund their corporate strategy in light of the current macroeconomic environment, high interest rates and volatile capital markets.

This role provides an opportunity to take part in dynamic corporate finance transactions in a broad range of industry sectors, including healthcare, industrial, retail, and education among others. LeadCrest has access to proprietary market knowledge, unique sourcing capabilities and the local expertise required to support this person's growth and development in the sale-leaseback sector and wider alternative assets investment space.
