Geneva-based Stoneweg targets €15 billion in real estate assets under management by 2030, following acquisitions that boosted AUM to €11 billion. Separately, Kennedy Wilson is being taken private in a $1.65 billion deal between its executives and Fairfax Financial, offering a 46% premium over market price.

Nuveen is diversifying its Nordic self-storage platform by reducing TIAA's ownership from 100% to at least 50%, aiming to grow the €1 billion platform to €1.5 billion. Data shows minority stake acquisitions reached a five-year high in 2025, comprising 48% of real estate M&A deals.

The transactions highlight real estate firms' focus on scale and living sector specialization. With European living investments and self-storage platforms gaining traction, capital flows increasingly target niche markets as traditional assets face challenges. These strategic moves reflect evolving investment priorities in the current market.
