Investment philosophy

Entrepreneurially focused partnerships

We identify assets with an upside potential and bring forward those hidden potentials. Thanks to many years of successful cooperation with an extensive network, we have insight into the relevant markets and access to information which helps us to locate promising potential.

We always carry out our projects with a team-oriented, collaborative approach. This applies not only to the project design within the Lakeward team but focuses especially to the close cooperation with our partners.

For the successful implementation of our projects we will always go the extra mile. Through a culture of creative problem solving and driving entrepreneurial spirit, we manage to overcome obstacles and turn our visions into reality.

We aim to achieve that our projects have a positive impact on our investors, project partners, the people who live and work in our properties, our employees, and the companies for which we build our properties

What distinguishes our Investments

Co-investment, due diligence and a dynamic partnership

Co-Investment: Lakeward is always a co-investor in the planned projects. This creates the common goal to achieve the highest possible investment return.

Pre-investment: We subject every project to a careful, in depth and comprehensive due diligence process before we propose it to our investors.

Dynamic partnership: We are constantly creating new ideas and working closely with all project partners. Our well-rehearsed team is always able to make adjustments to the projects if necessary.
