Ream General Partner, the management company of the REAM fund, is responsible for the strategic, operational and financial management of the fund and its assets.
Active in Luxembourg and Belgium, RGP advises and supports its private and institutional clients, to ensure the sustainable development and performance of their real estate portfolios.
Our approach is a demanding one. Our performance objectives are based on rigorous analysis, strong commercial commitment and a high level of selectivity. This commitment is underpinned by rigorous asset management, including optimized operational management, dynamic revenue management and rigorous financial monitoring, all of which are essential levers for maximizing the profitability of a coliving and hotel portfolio.
Our multidisciplinary team offers a wide range of complementary skills. Our staff have up to 20 years’ experience in their field of expertise. We are responsible for financial analysis, investment management, portfolio development, rental management and revenue management.
At REAM, we’re convinced that coliving is much more than just a trend: it’s a concrete response to changes in the real estate market and new urban lifestyles. Demand for flexible, serviced and comfortable housing continues to grow, driven by a profound societal transformation. In Luxembourg, this dynamic is particularly marked, against a backdrop of strong real estate pressure and changes in the rental sector.
In addition to its flexibility and accessibility, coliving also responds to a fundamental challenge: the growing loneliness in urban environments. At a time when lifestyles favor smaller households and greater mobility, the need for a living environment that combines independence and social ties is becoming essential. Coliving creates an environment where exchange and conviviality are facilitated, while guaranteeing everyone a private and comfortable space.
2025 is a key year for capturing new assets and consolidating our position in this buoyant market. We know that the performance of a real estate investment depends on its acquisition. Today, the conditions are ripe for seizing strategic opportunities. The market offers opportunities to develop quality colivings, and our negotiating power is particularly favorable, creating the ideal conditions to generate value right from the purchase.
We owe this positioning to our expertise in the field. At REAM, we don’t just invest in coliving: we understand, develop and operate it. Our approach is based on complete mastery of the value chain, from financial and asset management tooperations and space design. This integrated vision enables us to structure high-performance projects that meet the expectations of investors and users alike.
Our medium-term ambition is clear: to reach 500 rooms in Luxembourg, consolidating a portfolio of strategic assets and a benchmark position in the market.
The coming year will be decisive in accelerating our development and reinforcing our position as the benchmark for the coliving market in Luxembourg.
