Services
MontFort Real Estate partners with local and international investors and investment funds across a broad range of real estate disciplines. Our activities combine strategic advisory, hands-on execution and long-term value creation.
1Investment Management & Co-Investment
We acquire real estate on behalf of our clients, in co-investment, and for our own account. Each transaction begins with a comprehensive investment analysis, leading to a well-founded acquisition or divestment decision. Based on our background and track record, we design the appropriate business plan and strategy for every asset — ensuring sustainable value creation.
2Asset Management & Directorships
For a select group of clients, we act as delegated asset manager and/or local director within Dutch investment structures. Our activities include directorship of SPVs, supervision of property managers, initiating refurbishments, advising on strategic asset management decisions, overseeing re-lettings, approving outgoing payments and monitoring reporting cycles. This service is primarily offered to international investors seeking a trusted local presence and hands-on oversight.
3Real Estate Finance & (Re)Structuring
We advise and assist our clients in structuring and securing debt for acquisitions and refinancing. Through our network of local and international banks, debt funds and alternative lenders, we guide clients through the full financing process — from identifying funding sources to closing optimal terms. Where required, we also advise on fund and capital structure optimisation.
4Due Diligence & Transaction Support
We support clients in due diligence processes for large-scale real estate and loan portfolio transactions. Our involvement focuses on thorough analysis and structured assessment to enable informed and well-founded investment decisions.

• history & vision
About
MontFort Real Estate was founded in Amsterdam in 2017, following a landmark advisory role on the underwriting of JP Morgan and Lone Star's acquisition of Propertize — still the largest sale of legacy real estate loans in the Netherlands (€3.5B+).
The name is inspired by Mont Fort, the highest peak in the Swiss Les Quatre Vallées — a symbol of clarity, elevation, and perspective. These values define how we work: with professional excellence, personal dedication, and a consistent commitment to exceeding client expectations.
Our clients include private and institutional investors, real estate funds, family offices, international banks, and debt funds. They choose MontFort Real Estate for our specific knowledge and proven track record in the Dutch market.
