Crayon Partners welcomes two family offices to its capital and launches its first fund
The pan-European family offices of Nicolas Bearelle and Virginie Saverys enrich this journey, which began nearly a year ago.
The Crayon Partners team is pleased to announce the entry of two new shareholders: the family offices of Nicolas Bearelle and Virginie Saverys. These pan-European partners enrich this journey, which began nearly a year ago, and complement the expertise in real estate investments with significant environmental and social impact.
Victrix is the family holding company of Virginie Saverys and her children Basile and Eline. Victrix is committed to sustainable and impactful investments and translates this investment philosophy through direct shareholdings - mainly in the maritime and logistics sector - and fund investments in various asset classes (listed equity, private equity, real estate). In addition, Victrix has two operating companies: EBE, a shipping company specialising in dry bulk, and Avignonesi, a Tuscan vineyard with B-Corp certification.
Meanwhile, Nicolas Bearelle, a seasoned investor and visionary entrepreneur, is widely recognized for his innovative approach to real estate development and his dedication to creating sustainable value across social, environmental, and economic dimensions.Fifteen years ago, he founded Revive, a company specializing in urban regeneration and sustainable real estate development, transforming underutilized urban spaces into vibrant and eco-friendly environments. Revive was the first real estate developer in the world to achieve B-Corp certification. His forward-thinking vision, and dedication to projects with a strong impact represent a valuable asset to help Crayon structure itself and innovate.
The arrival of these two new partners comes at a pivotal moment for Crayon Partners, which is preparing to launch its first Private Equity Real Estate fund, “Crayon Jaune RAIF”, in Western Europe, in partnership with the management company Pure Capital (Luxembourg). This fund stands out for its value-add real estate strategy, focusing on acquiring buildings in London and reselling them under a Rent-to-Own model to facilitate access to home ownership. Additionally, CrayonPartners will soon launch a second vertical, “Crayon Bleu Club Deal” a private club deal focused on an innovative hospitality strategy in Paris.
