Private Deals

Confidential transactions. Selected assets. Controlled execution.

GestInvest advises owners and investors on significant private transactions involving selected assets, off-market opportunities and special situations.

We work where discretion, access, structure and the quality of counterparties materially influence the outcome.

Positioning

Private transactions require
a different process.

Some assets should not be broadly marketed.

Their value may depend on confidentiality, a controlled universe of counterparties, direct access to decision-makers or a transaction structure that cannot be handled through a conventional sales process.

GestInvest works on selected private mandates where the transaction requires senior-level involvement from initial positioning through negotiation and execution.

What We Do

Five areas of
private transaction.

01

Hospitality & Operating Assets

Hotels, resorts, serviced apartments, hospitality assets and selected operating properties where real estate and business considerations may intersect.

02

Prime & Income-Producing Assets

Selected high-quality real assets, income-producing properties, portfolios and assets with institutional or strategic investment characteristics.

03

Off-Market Transactions

Confidential acquisitions and disposals conducted through a controlled approach to selected counterparties rather than broad market exposure.

04

Portfolio & Complex Asset Transactions

Multi-asset situations, structured disposals, portfolio transactions and assets requiring a tailored transaction strategy.

05

Special Opportunities

Time-sensitive, complex or non-standard situations involving repositioning, shareholder circumstances, liquidity requirements or strategic transaction opportunities.

When We Become Involved

Situations where discretion and execution matter.

An owner is considering a confidential disposal
An investor is seeking an asset that is not openly marketed
A hotel or operating asset requires a combined property and transaction perspective
A portfolio requires a controlled disposal process
An owner wants to assess market appetite without public exposure
A transaction involves a limited universe of credible counterparties
An asset requires repositioning before approaching the market
Timing, ownership or liquidity circumstances require a bespoke transaction structure
