- Strategic milestone in Redevco’s evolution, marking the creation of a dedicated logistics arm and further diversifying its pan-European real estate platform.

Redevco, one of Europe’s largest privately-owned real estate managers, today announces the acquisition of Roebuck, a specialist logistics investment and asset manager with approximately €1 billion in assets under management across the UK and continental Europe.
This strategic acquisition marks a major milestone in Redevco’s evolution, further diversifying its platform with a stronger foothold in the logistics sector. Roebuck brings a 15-year track record of delivering strong returns through occupier-led strategies across the logistics supply chain – from first to last mile.
Neil Slater, CEO of Redevco, commented: “I am thrilled to welcome the Roebuck team to Redevco. They bring deep knowledge of the sector, a strong team focus and an entrepreneurial mindset, which is a great cultural fit for Redevco. Logistics naturally fits our investment universe. It complements our existing strengths in retail parks and urban transformation, providing connected opportunities in the supply chain space and aligning with our long-term vision of building a platform that creates transformative real estate while generating value for clients.”
Roebuck’s in-depth sector expertise, entrepreneurial culture, and strong relationships with institutional capital partners will be integrated into Redevco’s pan-European platform. The existing Roebuck team, including co-founders Hugh Macdonald-Brown and Nick Rhodes, will lead Redevco’s logistics strategy within the group, forming a dedicated logistics arm under the Redevco umbrella.
Hugh Macdonald-Brown, one of Roebuck’s founders and now Head of Logistics Redevco, said: “We are really excited to join the Redevco business. There is a clear alignment in cultural values and investment thinking. The transaction allows us to accelerate our growth ambitions while continuing to deliver value for our partners. We share a long-term investment mindset and see significant opportunity to scale our logistics capabilities across Europe. We look forward to working together with our new Redevco colleagues.”
The acquisition also reinforces Redevco’s commitment to sustainability. Roebuck’s projects seek to incorporate renewable energy initiatives and ESG-conscious asset management, aligning closely with Redevco’s broader environmental and social ambitions.
This latest move follows a series of strategic initiatives by Redevco, including its entry into selective urban living, greater focus on expanding its retail park presence and executing on real estate debt and special situation opportunities.
