May 27, 2022Real Estate
In its 17th edition, the Deutsche GRI 2022 will be held on the 2nd and 3rd of June, at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Frankfurt and will gather close to 200 participants among top senior private equity investors, fund managers, operators, LPs, project developers, asset owners and lenders who actively invest in the German real estate market.
The sessions take place behind closed doors and the discussions will touch on case studies and new insights into the market’s current trends and issues. The roundtable format of the meetings are designed to promote free debate and the sharing of ideas, like an open conversation with peers where everyone is not only allowed to, but encouraged to take part.
Quality and effective networking is one of the core values of the GRI Club and will be widely encouraged during the two-day conference on several occasions. There will be a total of five networking sessions, three on the first day and two on the last day. During these sessions, members will be able to engage in one-to-one meetings pre arranged by the production team.
Sessions on alternative financing, regulations and prices & evaluations will be moderated by Dr. Ruprecht Hellauer, Managing Partner at Albulus, Dr. Andreas Otto, Partner and Global Co-Head of Real Estate at CMS Hasche Sigle and Gerhard Meitinger, Head of Real Estate Finance Germany from PBB Deutsche Pfandbriefbank, respectively.
The Net Zero & ESG panel will be moderated by Alexander Piur, Head of Innovation and Sustainability at ING Bank, and the participation of special guest Georg Schattney
Group Head of ESG at Corestate Capital Group.
Michael Peter, CEO of P&P Group will attend the session on the future of retail. When asked about expectations for the event, Peter said he values getting “new information that is essential for our decisions”.
On the topics he’s eager to see discussed, he believes “Logistics, Light & industrial is certainly a segment that has incredible upward potential” and went on to say “the exchange at this level is certainly exciting and I am interested in how other participants here see this segment and where the opportunities in the market are generally seen”.
Catherine Choo, CIO of Greenman is expected at the Retail in the Digital Information Age panel, where she’ll be sharing some ideas on ESG, vertical farming and the metaverse. This session will be moderated by Greenman’s CEO, Johnny Wilkinson.
