American developer/investor, Lincoln Property Company, set to re-launch European platform – EuropaProperty

Originally entering Europe in 1989 and subsequently partnering with AIG as AIG/Lincoln in 1997, Lincoln provided development and entrepreneurial expertise responsible for building a dominant platform resulting in over 50 investments and more than 2.5 million sqm of space. AIG recently bought out Lincoln’s share in this previous entity.

Lincoln will now leverage its extensive array of institutional partners to re-invest throughout Europe. The new entity will focus primarily on investment and selected development opportunities across all sectors where growth prospects and yield spreads offer attractive relative value.

Troy Javaher, Managing Director, commented, “Lincoln’s track record in Europe is unparalleled, and we are very pleased to continue the next chapter for a company which is renowned for its diverse institutional investors’ base and highly entrepreneurial culture. This unique mix is essential for unlocking the region’s best opportunities.”

An American national, Troy Javaher was previously the Head of Capital Markets for Central and Eastern Europe for JLL. He has a Masters in Real Estate from Columbia University in New York and has professional work experience in the region since 1998.
