Stoneweg reinforces its presence in the retail sector 

Stoneweg, the alternative investment platform specialising in Real Assets, has appointed Josselin Granier to launch a pan-European retail investment vertical. The new strategy, which is targeting €1bn of AUM, is a direct response to investor appetite and reflects Stoneweg’s conviction that this is a strong cyclical entry point for select retail real estate in over a decade.

The strategy will have an initial focus on Europe, with an emphasis on asset transformation and tenant mix optimisation to drive long-term income sustainability. Asset selection will be highly disciplined, focused on grocery-anchored shopping destinations and retail park clusters.

Stoneweg continues to diversify its investment platform offering, driven by strong operational expertise, disciplined investment principles and long-term value creation to support its ambitious AUM growth target.

Josselin brings over 15 years of experience in the European retail real estate investment, asset management and redevelopment sectors across multiple markets. He most recently served as Group Real Estate Director at Louis Delhaize Group and a Board Member at Galimmo Real Estate – part of the Louis Delhaize Group, where over the last 10 years, he has been responsible for over €1 billion of real estate transactions and supported €1.5 billion of M&A activity. His expertise spans the full investment lifecycle, including originating, acquisition structuring, repositioning strategies, value-add redevelopment and active asset management, with a particular focus on shopping centres, retail parks and mixed-use retail destinations.

Josselin Granier will oversee the structuring and launch of the platform, with a Q2 target date, as well as the sourcing and execution of investment opportunities and then delivering the value creation initiatives.
