Our Business
InfraRed is one of the longest-standing investors in infrastructure, with an investment track record of more than 15 years. In real estate the business has evolved over 20 years from a U.K. mezzanine lender to an active manager and investor in Europe and Asia.
At InfraRed, we have built a wealth of experience and expertise investing in a broad range of real estate and infrastructure projects. While the sub-sectors and type of investment vary from project to project, we always seek investment opportunities which offer scope to deploy our asset management experience and structuring skills. The table below provides a short description of each of our business areas.
