EQT acquires Stockbridge

Recent work|November 4, 2026

Roschier is advising Stockbridge, a leading U.S. real estate investment manager with approximately USD 16.5 billion in fee-generating assets under management and USD 27 billion in gross asset value, in connection with EQT’s acquisition of Stockbridge.

The transaction brings together Stockbridge’s established U.S. investment franchises, experienced investment teams, and sector capabilities with EQT Real Estate’s industrial leadership, global client reach, operator-led investment model, and differentiated data and AI capabilities. The combination is designed to broaden client access to real estate strategies benefiting from long-term structural tailwinds, including attractive industrial sub-sectors and alternative living strategies, while preserving specialist-led investment teams and a disciplined focus on performance. The transaction marks an important step in EQT Real Estate’s continued evolution toward a more thematically diversified global platform.

The transaction is expected to close in Q1 2027, subject to customary closing conditions.

Roschier’s core advisory team comprised Pontus Enquist, Erik Ellenius, and Felicia Lindstrand.
