Asset & Investment Management

ZAR Real Estate acts as the exclusive asset and investment manager for Net Zero Properties, its yielding residential portfolio company. The platform advises the Luxembourg-based vehicle across the full investment lifecycle, from sourcing and due diligence to financing, asset management, and exit execution.

Accordingly, ZAR operates as a fully integrated real estate platform with in-house asset management capabilities, enabling disciplined hands-on implementation, and attractive risk-adjusted investment outcomes.

The core differentiator of ZAR’s Strategy is its Manage-to-Green approach, upgrading existing residential assets with suboptimal energy performance through a structured first-mover EPC Upgrade strategy. By targeting phased EPC upgrades to an A-C levels, ZAR captures green premiums while progressively repositioning assets toward a more sustainable and institutional product. Ultimately, this approach mitigates regulatory-driven stranded-asset risk and protects portfolios from brown discounts.
