As important as what you invest in
is how you invest.

In a business where changing market conditions are as much a constant as unexpected challenges, what differentiates a leading company is how it navigates these challenges to meet its goals. We seek to embrace an environment of intellectual honesty as a cornerstone of our foundation. What does this mean? It means that we aim to thoughtfully plan each step of our evolution, communicating transparently and respectfully. And we endeavor to put all hands on deck and bring our best investment, management, and research expertise together in one nimble, multi-disciplined team.

    • The Value of Trust

      We don’t just work for our clients — we work to know them, we seek to build relationships over time and we endeavor to help them see every angle of an investment. We strive to earn their trust and their business by delivering the outcome they’re seeking while working to exceed their expectations. Over multiple economic and property market cycles, through capital market downturn and improvement, we have sought to apply our knowledge, experience, and dedication to forge effective client relationships.

  • Synthesizing research

    The creation and refinement of an investment strategy begins with research. That’s why at Heitman, research is an in-house function and a vital part of our process. We seek to integrate research and investment in real time, with the goal of truly multi-disciplinary teams that are more informed, in-tune, and invested in your success.

  • Integrating multiple disciplines

    We are active in three key segments of the global real estate property and capital markets, with over $53 billion in assets under management as of December 31, 2022. Our private and public market investment teams are based on the ground in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific to execute investment strategies across the risk/return spectrum for our clients.


    We believe that our three complementary business units foster a creative atmosphere within Heitman that translates into an information exchange, helping the firm stay abreast of changing conditions in all areas of real estate across the globe.


  • Ownership in our business

    Heitman is wholly owned by senior officers who control all strategic, ownership, and day-to-day operational decisions.

    We believe this ownership structure results in a distinct and valuable alignment of interest between Heitman and our clients, and seeks to create proper incentives to meet or exceed our clients' investment objectives.
    • Leading with experience

      We believe our real estate investment solutions are created by some of the most experienced and innovative professionals in the industry. Headquartered in Chicago since 1966 with offices on four continents, Heitman’s senior managers have an average of 29 years of industry experience. Our leadership team has gained expertise investing across a variety of economic environments, from periods of property market decline to periods of recovery and expansion.

The collective experience of our executive team applies across the life cycle of an investment, from strategy setting and execution to realization.

  • Civic involvement

    Working to improve our communities is an extension of our company’s purpose. While many Heitman employees make the most of our corporate donation and matching contribution programs, their commitment to community service often goes beyond simply writing a check. In all of our regions, our employees take pride in coming together and devoting their time and energy to community projects. This dedication carries over into our business practices, as we seek to operate in a manner that aligns with our firm’s values, and our goal is for these values to be transmitted through our employees to the stakeholders associated with our investments.
