The company, based in Baar-Zug (Switzerland), was founded by Ralph Winter and Thomas Landschreiber. 777 Capital Partners offers its investment partners access to off-market deals in the innovative residential and commercial real estate segments.

Experienced management team with proven track record
The management of 777 Capital Partners has an excellent network in the real estate industry and a solid track record of successful real estate transactions. The founders Ralph Winter and Thomas Landschreiber look back on a long and successful partnership. Among other things, they have built up the real estate business of Cerberus Capital in Germany and founded the investment manager Corestate Capital, which is listed on the SDAX of the German stock exchange.

Ralph Winter is an experienced entrepreneur and globally active real estate investor. He has been living in the USA for 4 years where he has set up his Family Office W5, with offices in Miami, New York and Baar/Switzerland. His engagements in the USA focus on the innovative residential real estate sector with a growing portfolio in metropolitan areas and selected regions. Ralph Winter can demonstrate a decade-long track record of successful real estate transactions valued at over 30 billion euros.

Thomas Landschreiber has more than 30 years of experience in management positions in the real estate industry.

Investment focus: Off-market transactions in the segments of innovative, residential and commercial real estate in the DACH region
The changes brought about by COVID-19 will enable attractive transactions in the real estate sector, which require active management, short decision-making processes and fast action. Thomas Landschreiber, founder and CEO of 777 Capital Partners, sees a variety of challenges for market participants that open up new investment opportunities. "The corona crisis will put many market participants under severe pressure in the next one to two years. In addition, under the new macroeconomic situation and the Basel III/IV reforms, banks will be much stricter in granting new financing. We expect a great deal of restructuring on the equity and debt side," says Mr. Landschreiber, describing current market developments, adding: "We already experienced this in 2009 and it is only a matter of time before the new circumstances lead to a number of interesting investment opportunities.

Ralph Winter, founder and Chairman of the Investment Committee of 777 Capital Partners, believes that the investment boutique is well positioned in this context: "Especially in challenging times, it is important to have access to the right market participants and the appropriate capital. We are able to take risks with our own capital - something like this has become very rare today. Our extensive network of investors and sellers know that we can execute challenging transactions. I am very pleased that with such a strong team we are able to focus on the essential, namely on commercially sustainable and successful investments for our investment partners. The operational influence in the residential real estate market is currently growing exponentially, a development that is already more noticeable in the USA. Innovative Living assets with community approaches will be highly successful in the coming decades. This opens up a broad spectrum of investment opportunities, ranging from debt capital to equity and PropTech private equity"
