Grosvenor Europe has launched a 鈧70m property joint venture with Malaysia鈥檚 Amcorp Properties.
The joint venture will invest in real estate development and value-add projects in Madrid.
James Raynor, chief executive at Grosvenor Europe, said: 鈥淲e anticipate that, in the mid and long term, values will recover strongly in Madrid, and the historic nature of property in the city centre will allow us to look for both restructuring opportunities and long-term growth capture, so it鈥檚 an exciting position to be in.鈥
Grosvenor Europe, previously known as , invests its own capital alongside partners.
Amcorp Properties was part of an international consortium that bought a mixed-use London development for 拢308m (鈧278m) from the Carlyle Group.
Grosvenor said it was still focused on 鈥渉igh-performing cities鈥, particularly Paris, Madrid, Milan and Stockholm.
Lyon and Liverpool are also being targeted by the firm.
While retail continues to be at the heart of the company鈥檚 strategy, most assets will be mixed-use and include elements of leisure, residential and offices.
