History

M7 was established in 2009, initially focussing on the UK regional multi-tenanted light industrial sector. From the start, our key focus was on efficient and accurate data management.

Following the global financial crisis, we created a number of JVs to capitalise on the opportunities that arose. We also launched a workout business to help lenders manage their negatively-impacted higher yielding secondary assets.

In 2013, we began to develop our continental European multi-sector platform. Our objective was to provide a first class European investment and asset management platform to real estate owners and investors. M7’s senior management team had previously built such platforms and today has successfully replicated this approach across 16 offices in 14 countries and territories.
