Crescendo Real Estate, a European-focused principal investing and advisory group, has rebranded as Lodge Quai (LQ), taking the name of its founders.
The business was formed by Cabot Lodge and Daniel Quai in 2013 as an independent principal real estate investment and advisory firm. It invests capital on behalf of institutional clients, wealth management investors, asset managers, single and multi-family offices.
The rebranding of the business concludes a process begun in 2019 with the establishment of an independent, FCA-regulated fund advisory firm in the UK, now called Lodge Quai Advisors. Following the buy-out of a minority shareholder, the group decided to change the name to that of its founders.
Cabot Lodge said: 'We are very pleased to complete this exercise, which builds on a highly successful ten years of working closely with investors, tenants, and borrowers to meet their long-term goals.
'The repositioning of our business reflects the personal commitment we have for our clients and our transactional counterparties.
'We appreciate the trust our stakeholders have in us, and we remain pledged to providing appropriate risk-adjusted returns on those opportunities we see within the European real estate market.'
To date the firm has invested and managed over $5 bn (€4.6 bn) of transactions. Its work has included sale & leasebacks, build-to-suits, credit underwriting, corporate finance, and operations in a variety of segments of the European real estate market.
