Simpson Thacher represented BC Partners in connection with the formation and fundraising of its debut real estate fund, BC Partners European Real Estate I. The fund raised approximately €900 million, exceeding its €500-700 million target. The fund, which has already completed a number of investments, focuses predominantly on real estate investments in Europe and in particular on assets with significant re-positioning or re-development potential, in addition to operating platforms with opportunities to develop greater scale.

BC Partners is a leading investment firm with more than €40 billion in assets under management across private equity, private debt and real estate strategies.

The Simpson Thacher team included Jason Glover and Marie-Sophie Bandeira Vieira (Funds); Bill Smolinski (Tax); Jason Herman (Funds/U.S. Securities); and Jeanne Annarumma (ERISA).
