Description
Cadillac Fairview is a globally focused owner, operator, investor, and developer of best-in-class real estate across retail, office, residential, industrial and mixed-use asset classes. Wholly owned by the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, CF manages in excess of $40 billion of assets across the Americas, Europe, and Asia.
 
In the past couple of years, Cadillac's landmark European investments have included establishing a €3bn logistics joint venture with Boreal IM, investing into a £1.5bn BTR partnership led by Long Harbour Ltd, and buying into a £700m pound life sciences project - Oxford North and acquiring a stake in Stanhope PLC.
 
Wajeha is a graduate of both Cornell University and Harvard University – where she studied a Bachelor of Architecture and a Masters in Real Estate Finance. She has held roles at leading real estate institutions such as GIC and Hines, and her work has taken her across the USA and Europe.
 
I sat down with Wajeha to discuss a broad range of subjects which covered some of the following topics:
  • How she got into real estate
  • Platform & portfolio deals
  • Forming JV's
  • Investment Mindset
  • Opportunities in the market
  • Oh, and one last question - who are the People, what Property, and in which Place Wajeha would invest should she have £500m of equity at her disposal.
