Seasoned investment and asset management professionals Ulf Christiansen, Daniel Rubinstein, and Stuart Reid have announced the launch of troveinvest, a new real estate investment asset management firm headquartered in Berlin. Specializing in value-add commercial real estate, troveinvest positions itself as an operating joint venture partner, focusing on assets with strong management potential in Germany. The company aims to establish itself as a premier boutique investment asset manager in the country.
With over 85 years of collective industry experience, the three founding partners have a long-standing professional collaboration dating back to 2011. Their extensive track record includes more than €10 billion in transaction volume, with a proven history of delivering above-average returns across various asset classes and risk categories.
“At troveinvest, we are committed to generating outperformance through operational expertise and collaborative partnerships,” said Ulf Christiansen, co-founder of the firm.
Ulf Christiansen has been a key player in the real estate investment landscape since 2011 when he joined Rockspring in Berlin, specializing in transactions. Following Rockspring’s acquisition by PATRIZIA in 2018, he became Managing Director and Head of Value-Add Transactions, spearheading strategies for commercial and residential real estate projects across Germany.
Daniel Rubinstein brings deep expertise in asset management, having joined Rockspring in 2005. He led asset management across multiple sectors, including retail, logistics, multi-let industrial, and office spaces. After the acquisition by PATRIZIA, he served as Managing Director in Asset Management, leading a 20-person team overseeing a significant retail and logistics portfolio.
Stuart Reid has extensive experience in real estate investment and development, both within Germany and internationally. He played a pivotal role in establishing Rockspring’s German office in 2001. Post-PATRIZIA acquisition, he served as Managing Director in Project Development, overseeing commercial and residential development projects as well as large-scale property renovations across Continental Europe.
Christiansen emphasized the company’s commitment to navigating the evolving real estate market with expertise and precision: “Our strongest motivation is the opportunity to shape a new real estate cycle from the beginning – and to work together again as a well-coordinated team. A team with a remarkable track record, aligned in its way of thinking. In uncertain times, it’s well-thought-out strategies, solid expertise, and consistent asset management that determine the success of investments – crucial for our partners and us.”
As the real estate sector continues to adapt to market shifts and economic challenges, troveinvest aims to leverage its deep industry knowledge and strategic asset management approach to deliver strong investment performance. The launch of troveinvest marks a significant step in Germany’s real estate landscape, introducing a new player with a well-established foundation of expertise and a clear focus on value creation.
