Michael Fuller Joins King Street's European Real Estate Team

In a significant strategic development for the European real estate sector, King Street Capital Management has appointed Michael Fuller as the new Managing Director of its European Real Estate division. This announcement, made on August 4, 2025, highlights the firm’s commitment to bolstering its investment expertise in Europe, particularly in the lucrative real estate market.

A New Addition to the Leadership Team

Successfully based in London, Fuller will work closely under the supervision of Paul Brennan, Partner and Co-Head of Real Estate. His primary responsibilities will extend to strategic business development initiatives, asset management, and the critical task of identifying and evaluating new investment opportunities across the European real estate landscape.

With over 21 years of extensive experience in pan-European real estate private equity, Fuller joins King Street after a notable tenure at Brookfield Property Group as Managing Director and Head of Core-Plus Europe. There, he was instrumental in spearheading the firm's European core-plus strategy and orchestrating deal origination across Continental Europe, including notable regions like Germany and the Nordics.

Growing Team and Expanding Expertise

Fuller's hiring is part of King Street’s deliberate expansion of its European Real Estate team. Earlier in May 2025, Adam Lawrence joined the firm as well, bringing 15 years of expertise in managing and restructuring real estate credit portfolios, most recently serving as Managing Director and Head of Debt Asset Management for Europe at Starwood Capital. Shortly after, Ranveer Bassey also became part of the team, having previously held a Vice President position at Strategic Value Partners.

The firm’s Co-Head of Real Estate, Paul Brennan, expressed confidence in Fuller's vision and capabilities, stating, "Michael brings valuable vision and experience that will help fuel the growth of our real estate strategy across Europe and strengthen our position as a trusted partner in complex transactions and thematic platforms." This strategic hiring highlights King Street’s ongoing commitment to investing in top-tier talent as they continue to scale their multi-strategy real estate platform.

Milestones and Momentum

This expansion comes at a time of heightened momentum for King Street's European Real Estate platform. In the past year, the firm successfully closed its latest European Special Situations vehicle and executed strategic investments in multiple projects, including Room00, Arlington House, Voyage, and Bravo! Students. These investments underscore the team’s long-term commitment to sectors that demonstrate structural resilience and solid growth prospects, such as luxury hospitality, student housing, and urban logistics.
