For twenty years, AM ALPHA has been investing globally, always with one foot firmly in the local market. From Tokyo to Luxembourg, colleagues bring their own view of what makes their city and region tick: from tenant expectations and regulations to culture and consumer habits. Together, their perspectives show how AM ALPHA’s local expertise, global platform and value-add mindset translate into one common goal: Returning Real Value around the world.
Manchester, United Kingdom
Complex refurbishments and mixed-use concepts

Paul Hodgkiss Senior Project Manager

What makes this market tick?
Manchester is one of the UK’s most dynamic regional cities: young, creative and increasingly a destination for global brands. A large student population, a growing tech and media scene and significant investment into the city centre, have pushed the shift from industrial heartland to a modern knowledge hub. For AM ALPHA, Returning Real Value in Manchester sits at the intersection between heritage and future: projects like the revitalisation of the Rylands building turn historic icons into benchmark mixed-use schemes that attract long-term tenants years before completion and set new standards well beyond the city itself.
Paris, France
Office and mixed-use in Paris and key regional cities

What makes this market tick?
France – and Paris in particular – offers a deep, highly liquid market where competition for prime assets is intense and ESG is no longer optional, but rather a prerequisite. Returning Real Value in such an environment depends on properties where strong locations meet clear value-add levers: ESG-compliant refurbishment, enhanced user experience and modern concepts that keep buildings relevant in one of Europe’s most demanding occupier and investor markets.
Etienne Marcot Head of France

Luxembourg
Structuring fund platforms in a European fund hub

Anush Melkumova Branch Manager

What makes this market tick?
Luxembourg is less about skylines and more about structures: a leading European centre for regulated vehicles, cross-border funds and international investors. It is the perfect location for AM ALPHA to set up efficient, compliant platforms for its strategies – ensuring that complex, multi-country portfolios are managed within a robust legal and regulatory framework that international partners know and trust as the foundation for Returning Real Value in the long term.
Munich, Germany
Pan-European transactions from Munich HQ
08:00
(UTC +2)
What makes this market tick?
Munich is both AM ALPHA’s base and launch pad: a strong, innovation-driven city at the heart of Europe – and the control centre for AM ALPHA’s pan-European and global investments. From here, the team originates and executes deals across multiple markets, bringing together local insight and international capital plus a consistent value-add philosophy that has shaped AM ALPHA’s 20-year track record of Returning Real Value.

Istanbul, Turkey
Shopping centres and retail parks in Turkey and selected European locations
10:00
(UTC +3)
Sibel Taş Head of Retail Asset Management

What makes this market tick?
Turkey’s retail landscape is shaped by vibrant, high-footfall shopping centres that serve as both commercial and social hubs – from regional prime malls to urban retail parks. For AM ALPHA and Prime Development, Returning Real Value in this context means focusing on tenant mix, visitor experience and operational excellence to keep assets relevant in quickly-changing catchment areas. The goal of offering flexible, fast and tailored solution-based strategies, keeps the projects dynamic, up-to-date and focused on the future.
Singapore, Asia HQ
Investments – a trusted and secure gateway to Asian markets
15:00
(UTC +8)
What makes this market tick?
With its strategic location, political stability and business-friendly environment, Singapore acts as the ideal hub for AM ALPHA to navigate the diverse Asian markets and to gain access to global capital flows. Returning Real Value from Singapore is best described as capital preservation combined with steady, measurable growth.
Joanne Mak Senior Vice President

Tokyo, Japan
Residential and mixed-use in Greater Tokyo
16:00
(UTC + 9)
Masatomo Okamoto Head of Japan

What makes this market tick?
Tokyo is Japan’s economic powerhouse and a magnet for young people seeking education and work, which keeps demand for housing high and cash flows remarkably stable. Even in volatile times, carefully selected residential and mixed-use assets can offer “stable investments in unstable times” and very low vacancy rates – a strong base for Returning Real Value.
Sydney, Australia
Office, living, and mixed-use in key Australian cities
18:00
(UTC + 11)
What makes this market tick?
Australia combines a resilient, service-led economy with deep capital markets, clear regulation and a strong rule-of-law environment. Sydney is the gateway, but Melbourne, Brisbane and other cities each have their own cycles and tenant profiles, too. For AM ALPHA, Returning Real Value here means accessing institutional-quality assets in transparent markets while still creating upside through repositioning, ESG upgrades and more flexible space concepts. Local expertise in legal, planning and leasing frameworks is crucial in a landscape where global core capital competes for a limited set of truly prime opportunities.
Les Koltai Head of Australia
