From 1 January 2025, we will no longer speak of Cobelpro or Tribeca, but of Wanaka Partners. Cobelpro, which specialises in property management and consultancy, and Tribeca, another company in the Reventon SA group, which specialises in asset management for investors in professional property, will now form a single entity. This merger comes after the two companies have worked closely together for several years, with the aim of becoming an even more efficient partner for the real estate sector.
“I am delighted to announce the merger of Tribeca Capital Partners and Cobelpro to create Wanaka Partners. It’s not just a new name, it’s a new force in real estate. We’re bringing back the fundamentals of old-fashioned property, combining them with innovative technology and sustainability know-how to meet today's challenges," said Philip Walravens, founder of Tribeca. Founded in 2006, Tribeca manages around €1.3bn of assets in various categories, including offices, retail and healthcare.
Cobelpro was founded in Belgium in 1992 and manages over one million square metres of space in Belgium and Luxembourg. It has made a name for itself in property management, in particular through the use of digital tools and artificial intelligence to manage the properties entrusted to it, whether offices, shops, housing or mixed developments.
“This partnership is based on solid foundations, as we have been working together for over 15 years. Together, we have developed a proven formula for success that we are now formalising under a unified brand. Wanaka Partners represents the culmination of our shared vision and expertise, enabling us to deliver even greater value to our clients while setting new standards in the real estate sector,” said Gilles Naeyaert, managing director of Cobelpro.
Wanaka Partners will be a ‘one-stop shop’ for clients, with three specialist departments: Wanaka Real Estate Management, Wanaka Fund Management and Wanaka Capital Solutions. As a result of the merger, the companies together represent a portfolio of around €3bn in assets under management, 190 properties and almost 60 professionals spread across seven offices in Belgium and Luxembourg. The Luxembourg operations will continue to be managed by Thomas Meyer.
