ARVE THE
COMPANY

Our goal is to use space wisely and invest in a promising future for our cities.

THE ARVE VALUES

DEVELOPED FOR
THE FUTURE.

We preserve and create living space.
We make unused space usable.
We realize inspired office concepts.

Across Europe, we realize projects with an active value-creation approach to achieve sustainable added value, thereby shaping the future of our cities by optimizing the usability of existing property in line with local demand. In recent years, we have invested over 100 million euro in our properties and created modern residential and commercial space through refurbishments, renovations, extensions and conversions.

An environment worth living in is attracting more and more people who are looking to find their place in a community – be it for living or working.

Following our development strategy, we create living and working environment that allows individuals and businesses to rent or purchase space that is just right for them. By creating such space, we contribute to an increasing supply and affordable prices for future tenants and buyers.

For the successful implementation of innovative ARVE projects we are in constant dialogue with all parties involved: architects, engineers, project controllers, property managers, lawyers and brokers.

The added value of this constant communication and coordination lies in discussing and deciding on even small details together, thus feeding new impressions and innovative ideas into the development and implementation. This connection between ARVE and our partners takes place on an integrated basis, where we always refer to our values:

Plannability , meaningfulness, sustainability and future viability.

THE ARVE RESPONSIBILITY

The departure
into the future

ESG is the goal. Sustainability
is the way.

We build efficiently.
We save resources.
We respect people.

With each of our projects, we pursue a holistically considered approach. We pay particular attention to the natural environment of the property and align the planned use with local circumstances. In doing so, we create added value for the area and actively contribute to a promising future for the location.

Only a forward-thinking project can bring long-term financial success.

Our measures make ARVE properties innovative and future-proof investments. Among our tenants are social clubs, schools, universities, ministries, police, as well as non-profit and non-profit organizations. We maintain a close relationship with all the people who have rented our properties and are always open to their wishes, thoughts, and ideas. Arve systematically integrates the analysis of sustainability factors into the evaluation process before each investment decision, based on the information available at the time of evaluation.

The Arve Policy on sustainability risks

SFDR - DISCLOSURE

ESG ist das Ziel. Nachhaltig­keit
ist der Weg.

Arve does not manage or offer funds that meet the criteria of Article 9 of the EU Taxonomy Regulation.

In accordance with the Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 on sustainability-related disclosure requirements in the financial services sector, as amended (the „Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation“ or „SFDR“), ARVE FUND MANAGEMENT S.A. („ARVE“) endeavors to take into account sustainability risks with the help of the relevant financial product manufacturers and external advisors (as applicable).

According to the SFDR, sustainability risk means an environmental, social or governance („ESG“) event or condition that, if it occurs, could cause an actual or a potential material negative impact on the value of an investment.

Such risks are assessed for each investment fund on a case-by-case basis and can take various forms, such as climate change regional risks (e.g. more regular fires or floods), public boycott campaigns, local risks of corruption or fraud.

Sustainability risks analyses are integrated by ARVE into the assessment process carried out prior to each investment decision based on available information.

Arve does not take into account any negative impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors.

According to the SFDR, sustainability factors are environmental, social and employment matters, respect for human rights, anti‐corruption and anti‐bribery matters.

As the legal framework regarding sustainability adverse impacts is still in formation and the methodologies for considerations of principal adverse impacts on sustainability factors are in full development and have not yet reached maturity within the sustainable finance industry, ARVE does not currently consider principal adverse impacts of its investment decisions on sustainability factors.

ARVE expects this will be a work in progress until the sustainable finance industry is more evolved in the methodology of measuring and reporting sustainability adverse impact in a way that is useful for investors.

ARVE will review this policy as the relevant legal framework and technical methodologies are developed further. Any material amendment to ARVE’s approach will be updated on its website in accordance with the SFDR.

THE ARVE FOCUS

REAL ESTATE
WITH CLASS

The properties in our portfolio are not just investments for us – they are our passion. Our expertise, the ARVE network and our local partners form the basis on which we acquire properties and develop our strategies for value-add.

We invest in both value-add properties with an investment volume of EUR 10 to 200 million and prime properties with an investment volume of EUR 50 to 500 million.

Whether it is a matter of repositioning, renovating or expanding lettable space – by taking an individual approach we plan every step ahead and constantly test our concepts for our four ARVE values:

  • Predictability
  • Sustainability
  • Meaningfulness
  • Innovation
  • Value add
  • Prime
  • We focus on Germany’s top 7 cities and growing B cities, as well as Austria, Switzerland, northern Italy and growing metropolitan areas across Europe.

    The investment volume for our value-add transactions ranges from EUR 10 to 200 million.

    Our main investment criteria:

    • Residential properties with upside as well as buildings with expansion potential in central locations
    • Offices in central locations with short WALT and upside potential through repositioning or increasing rental income
    • Commercial and hotel properties with unsolved tenant issues and capex requirement
    • Mixed-use properties with capex requirements

    Renovation, restructuring, repositioning or recapitalization are the four main approaches in our strategy for value-add.

  • We focus on the European metropolitan areas Milan, Paris, London, Zurich, Geneva, Luxembourg and Vienna, as well as the German top 7 cities.

    The investment volume for our prime properties is between EUR 50 and 500 million.

    We concentrate on Core & Core+ in A-locations – including mixed-use properties, prestigious office buildings, premium retail space and hotels.

    Long holding periods in central locations, long-term tenant turnover and future repositioning provide us with a promising strategic basis for the individual development of our prime properties.

THE ARVE COMPETENCE

It is our mission to develop inspired and high-quality real estate.
