Tackle urban sprawl
Density where the infrastructure already exists. We build inside the city rather than at its edge, so open land stays open.
Pan-European urban regeneration
We buy the parts of the city everyone else gave up on.
Flying Point Real Estate is a specialist investment and development manager. We source, execute and manage large-scale urban regeneration projects across Europe — turning derelict sites and obsolete assets into places that hold their value for a generation.
The thesis
Half of Europe's carbon emissions come from real estate. The answer is not more land.
The rapid artificialisation of land has consumed open areas that used to be biodiverse ecosystems, while population growth and single-use development have left people isolated across large parts of their daily lives.
Well-conceived, sizeable projects can take both problems on at once. That is the whole bet: build inside the city, on land that has already been used and spoiled, and build it mixed enough that people have a reason to stay.
We do well by doing right — and we are not interested in projects where those two things point in different directions.
Four parameters, every scheme
Answer social change
Households, work and ageing have all changed shape. Our schemes mix tenures, generations and uses instead of betting on one.
Absorb environmental liability
We take on the contaminated and the derelict — remediation is part of the underwriting, not an afterthought.
Build a sense of community
Ground floors that are active, public space that is genuinely public, and amenity that gives people a reason to stay.

Global standards, European ground
Our founders have built in most of the countries we now invest in.
Thirty years of office, residential, retail, logistics, data centres and nursing homes — from Amsterdam and Paris to Milan, Frankfurt, Stockholm and London. That history is why a municipality will take our call, and why we can underwrite remediation risk that most buyers price as unknowable.
