Established in 1999, Patron Capital Partners has evolved into one of the leading opportunistic real estate managers in Europe.

To date, it has raised over €5.4bn Euros, and has undertaken more than 200 transactions across 106 investments in 17 countries. The Patron organisation includes a 64 person in-house team, with offices in the UK, Spain and Luxembourg.

Patron's strategy is to back local partners and management teams in growing their respective business, investing in property, corporate operating entities, credit related businesses and debt related instruments, whose value is primarily supported by property assets. Keith started his career at Lehman Brothers in New York, and is a graduate of NYU, and The University of Chicago Booth School of Business. I sat down with Keith to discuss a broad range of subjects which covered some of the following topics: * How he got into real estate

* Early career moves

* How & why he set up Patron

* Creating alignment between LP's, Patron team & local operating partners

* Current market challenges & opportunities

* Raising €860m for Fund VII

* Impact of the election

* Has his definition of success changed

* Why he does so much charity work

Oh and one last question - who are the People, what Property, and in which Place Keith would invest should he have £500m of capital at his disposal.
