Crestbridge catches a Kingfisher

Crestbridge has acquired leading London-based real estate funds and financing firm Kingfisher Property. Kingfisher has with immediate effect become part of the Crestbridge Group, which has had a London operation since 2015 providing a range of real estate accounting and reporting services. Kingfisher is a specialist firm with decades of senior level real estate experience, providing a unique blend of finance advisory and administration services for both commercial and residential property. As a FCA-regulated fund operator, trustee and depositary it provides services to more than 100 UK real estate funds with assets under management of around £15bn. These capabilities are complemented by finance arranging services for both debt and equity. A full rebranding of Kingfisher Property is planned for later in 2018 to bring the business fully under the Crestbridge brand, when the team will also relocate to Crestbridge’s existing London office.
