VIENNA, July 1, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
C-QUADRAT is to strengthen its team in London and create its own real estate unit. Bjarne Eggesbø joined C-QUADRAT as Head of Real Estate and will establish a team of experts at C-QUADRAT's British office over the next few months. During the course of 2015, institutional investors will be offered investment opportunities in the field of real estate.
