MGF Capital Partners forms joint ventures with local developers and operators to acquire undermanaged, well-located assets in Europe.
We build businesses that are set up to manage the underlying properties and ultimately maximize their value by instituting best-in-class management. Post-acquisition, further investment is deployed in the properties for their improvement before selling the assets and returning capital to limited partners.
