In conversation with Green Street News
Catch up with our Managing Director of Real Estate, Jay Patel, in conversation with Amy Finch, Senior European Correspondent, Green Street News.
Jay discusses Arrow’s highly localised and vertically integrated strategy, which allows us to uncover granular, hard-to-access deals across Europe.

He also notes, “Germany presents a particularly compelling opportunity, with well-advanced projects facing funding shortfalls and significant distress in sectors like residential, where we can step in and unlock value.”
