Federica Bajeli

Federica Bajeli is a London-based real estate investment professional with a career spanning more than two decades across Italy and the UK. She earned a Master in Real Estate Management from Politecnico di Milano (2003–2004), with additional study associated with Milan's business-school ecosystem (Università Bocconi appears on her LinkedIn education history). Her early career was in Italian retail real estate: she worked at Jones Lang LaSalle as a retail property analyst before joining Cordea Savills (later Savills Investment Management) in its Italian office as a retail real estate specialist — a move reported by the trade press when Cordea expanded its London and Milan teams.

She subsequently moved into institutional fund management at Partners Group, where she was a Member of Management in Private Real Estate Asset Management, covering Real Estate Asset Management for Europe. In that role she focused on thematic strategies in European logistics — notably last-mile and big-box logistics around key occupier hubs — including a joint venture with Investire SGR and Impresa Tonon to develop a portfolio of five modern, sustainable logistics facilities in Northern Italy totaling roughly 100,000 sqm.

Today she is associated with H.I.G. Realty Partners, the dedicated real estate platform of the global alternative-assets firm H.I.G. Capital, where she is listed as a Director. Bloomberg's professional database profiles her under H.I.G. Realty Partners. H.I.G. Realty in Europe (led by Riccardo Dallolio and including managing directors such as Jérôme Fouillé) has been highly active in UK/European urban logistics and the London "Living" (residential) sector. Her LinkedIn additionally reflects a current advisory relationship with First Growth Real Estate & Finance (FGREF), an independent European real estate debt advisory boutique.

• Invests as an institutional real estate professional, not as an angel — the relevant "check" is fund-level real estate equity/debt deployed into assets, platforms and joint ventures, typically in the tens-to-hundreds of millions of euros.
• Logistics is a core theme: last-mile and big-box logistics in supply-constrained, high-fundamentals urban infill markets (a thesis she pursued at Partners Group and that H.I.G. Realty continues across the UK, France and Norway).
• The "Living" / residential sector: H.I.G. Realty has repeatedly invested in centrally located London residential ("Living Sector") assets, citing "strong fundamentals" in the London residential market.
• Retail heritage: her formative expertise was Italian retail real estate (JLL, Cordea Savills), giving her occupier- and asset-level operating depth.
• Emphasis on modern, sustainable assets and value-add/opportunistic repositioning rather than passive core holding.
