Summary
CBRE Investment Management has agreed to invest €300 million in Vía Célere, one of Spain's leading residential developers, as part of a recapitalization of Värde Partners' ownership stake. The transaction, announced in June 2025, values the company at nearly €1 billion ($1.2 billion), according to the parties' definitive agreement. The €300 million ($349 million) commitment was made by CBRE Investment Management on behalf of its indirect private real estate division.
Värde first invested in Vía Célere in 2017 and developed it into Spain's largest homebuilder through a series of mergers and acquisitions, per CBRE IM's announcement. The company holds one of the largest landbanks in Spain, with capacity to develop more than 12,500 new homes across Madrid and other major cities. The recapitalization gives CBRE IM a position in a platform with substantial development pipeline across the country's principal urban markets.
Jones Day advised CBRE Investment Management on the transaction. Separately, Värde Partners had raised a €450 million continuation vehicle to extend its investment in Vía Célere, a structure that complements the CBRE IM recapitalization.
The deal reflects continued institutional appetite for Spanish residential development platforms with large landbanks, particularly in Madrid, where housing supply constraints remain a central theme for investors.
