This acquisition positions Queensgate as an independent investment and advisory platform, specialising in real estate, hospitality, and special situations across Europe, the United States, and the GCC region.

Queensgate has recently been involved in significant transactions, including the 2025 sale of Generator's European operations to Brookfield Asset Management for roughly €800 mln. This portfolio included 15 properties with a total of 2,749 keys and approximately 9,000 beds in major cities like London, Paris, and Berlin. In 2026, Queensgate also completed a major restructuring of its U.S. hospitality portfolio, which consisted of six hotels and 1,176 keys across key cities such as New York and Los Angeles.

Concurrently with this acquisition, Jason Kow has established Halston Street, his family office based in Dubai and regulated by the DFSA, to manage his principal investments and global strategic initiatives.

Currently, Queensgate advises on approximately €3 bn in cash and assets, having executed over USD 6 bn (€5.58 bn) in transactions across 14 countries. Notable past projects include the Freehand and Generator hotel brands, Grange Hotels in London, the Kensington Forum development site, London Executive Offices, and the InterContinental London – The O2 Hotel & Residences.

Jason Kow commented: "With the recapitalisation of our platform and the successful execution of several significant exits, Queensgate is well positioned to deploy both new and recycled capital into what we believe is an increasingly attractive phase of the cycle. Our focus remains on income-producing assets and special situations where complexity, creativity and conviction can generate differentiated outcomes across Europe, the United States and the GCC."
