A new city rises at Manhattan West
Manhattan West is one of Brookfield’s most ambitious large-scale development projects. The eight-acre, six-building, mixed-use complex includes all the elements of Brookfield’s renowned placemaking destinations throughout the world.
Real Estate sectors
We own, develop and manage office properties in key gateway cities in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Germany, Australia, Brazil, India and South Korea.
Brookfield Place, New York — This major redevelopment transformed the former World Financial Center into a vibrant, multipurpose destination that attracts businesses, tourists and locals alike. Once home to primarily financial tenants, the 8 million-square-foot property now has a diverse tenant base including luxury retailers and restaurants.
Canary Wharf — In 2015, we formed a joint venture with QIA to acquire Canary Wharf Group plc for approximately £2.6 billion. Through this transaction, we have joint control of 11 office buildings spanning approximately 7 million square feet, over 800,000 square feet of retail, and an active office and residential development pipeline of over 3 million square feet.
Potsdamer Platz — In 2015, we acquired Potsdamer Platz, an iconic mixed-use complex in the historic center of Berlin. We are investing €100 million to renovate and reposition the 3 million-square-foot estate as an attractive location for office, retail and residential tenants. Our broad, long-term relationships with many multinational tenants provide a key competitive advantage.

The Eugene — Opened in the spring of 2017, The Eugene is one of the most sought-after residences in the Hudson Yards district. It is a 62-story, 844-unit amenity-filled multifamily building that combines a forward-thinking design sensibility with traditional New York appeal.

We own and actively manage full-service hotels and leisure-style hospitality assets in high-barrier markets across North America, the U.K. and Australia.
Center Parcs — In 2015, we acquired Center Parcs, an operator of five short-break holiday destinations in the U.K. It generates stable, predictable cash flows and its business model is protected by the scarcity of available sites and the large capital investment required. Since acquisition, we have upgraded revenue management and technology systems, added lodges, and begun construction of the first location in Ireland.
The Diplomat Beach Resort — In 2014, we acquired The Diplomat Beach Resort in Hollywood, Florida, one of the few beachfront hotels in the area with extensive conference facilities and land parcels available for development. We acquired the property from a distressed seller and completed an $82 million renovation.

Student Housing, U.K. — In 2016, we acquired a portfolio of U.K. student housing properties and its management platform. The portfolio operates at or near full occupancy and is located near top-ranked universities with large student populations. In the U.K., universities are able to provide housing to only a fraction of their students. To take advantage of this demand, we are growing the portfolio through development and acquisition of smaller portfolios.
