Private property investment
Opportunities for private investors
Private investors, like institutional investors, recognise real estate as a core element of a diversified portfolio. We understand that as a private investor, you're looking for tangible assets that offer both stable cash flows and protection against inflation. Investing in private real estate funds provides exactly that: access to a proven sector with limited correlation to traditional markets (such as equities).
Property investment has the advantage of investing in physical assets that remain essential to the economy. For private investors seeking to diversify their wealth, this category offers stability in uncertain times while benefiting from structural trends like urban density and city growth.
At Orange Investment Managers, we specialise in commercial operational real estate for both private and institutional property investors. This category includes car parks, hotels, holiday parks – areas in which we are active. The value is often directly linked to operational performance.
Why operational commercial real estate?
In operational commercial real estate, the property itself generates the business income. A car park earns money from parking transactions, a hotel from room rentals. This differs from traditional commercial real estate, such as offices, where the tenant generates their turnover elsewhere. This distinction also shapes the contract structure. In lease agreements, the operator carries the operational risk and pays rent, offering stability to investors. Under management agreements, the risk lies with the owner, leading to more fluctuation but also the potential for higher returns.
Commercial operating real estate offers unique advantages for private investors with a strategic investment approach. The direct link between business operations and property value makes operational commercial real estate naturally inflation-resistant. Under long-term leases with revenue-sharing, the owner benefits from rising operating income. Structural trends such as urbanisation, leisure, and changing mobility ensure lasting demand for car parks, hotels, and holiday parks.
Commercial operational real estate for private investors
Why operational commercial real estate is a smart choice for private investors:
Stable cash flows: assets with structural market demand
Natural inflation resistance: flexible operational pricing
Higher returns: combination of property value and operational performance
Limited competition: operational complexity creates entry barriers
For private investors seeking to combine property investment with operational expertise, operational commercial real estate offers access to a market where complexity forms a natural barrier to entry. Through fund investing , you gain access to this expertise without needing to manage or control the operations yourself.
