Colliers Baltics and Redgate Capital have entered into a strategic cooperation covering Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, combining their expertise to further advance real estate capital markets advisory across the region.
The partnership will operate under the name Colliers Capital Markets, reflecting a unified approach to delivering integrated real estate and capital markets advisory services across the Baltics. It will focus exclusively on real estate capital markets advisory, including transaction advisory, investment structuring and specific real estate-related financing deals. The platform will serve a broad range of clients, from institutional investors and developers to private and local investors, supporting transactions of varying sizes and complexity across Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
The partnership combines Colliers’ full-scope real estate advisory capabilities and international network with Redgate Capital’s strong real estate advisory position in Estonia and established capital structuring expertise. Operating under unified leadership, the partnership enhances cross-border coordination while maintaining strong local execution in each Baltic market.
“Real estate capital markets in the Baltics are evolving rapidly. Investors expect institutional-quality advisory, strong local knowledge, and access to broader pools of capital. By joining forces, we are strengthening our ability to deliver exactly that across all three Baltic states,” says Deniss Kairāns, Managing Partner at Colliers Baltics.
The alliance will be led by Aare Tammemäe, Partner at Redgate Capital, who will also continue serving on the Board of Redgate Capital while leading Colliers Capital Markets. Aare has nearly 30 years of experience in the financial and real estate sectors. Before joining Redgate Capital in 2008, he served as Managing Director at Suprema Securities, as CEO of the Estonian state-owned Compensation Fund, CFO of Tallinna Sadam (Port of Tallinn), Head of Corporate Banking at Nordea Estonia, and CFO and Chairman of the Management Board of listed real estate company Arco Vara.
“The Baltic real estate market continues to evolve and increasingly requires well-structured and innovative investment solutions. A particularly positive trend is the growing strength and influence of the local investor base, which is playing an increasingly important role in shaping the regional deal market,” adds Aare Tammemäe, CEO of Colliers Capital Markets. “Through this partnership, we aim to set a new benchmark for real estate capital markets advisory in the Baltics – combining strong local transactional expertise, capital structuring capabilities and access to international investors on a single platform.”
In addition to their strategic partnership in real estate and capital markets advisory, both companies intend to explore cooperation across a broader range of services. Colliers Baltics will contribute its expertise in brokerage, valuations and real estate advisory, while Redgate Capital companies bring capabilities in M&A, debt and equity capital raising, wealth management and other financial advisory services.
Together, the combined real-estate transaction advisory teams have advised on real estate transactions exceeding EUR 1.7 billion across the Baltics over the past five years, reflecting a strong track record across asset classes, investor profiles and deal sizes.
The partnership represents a strategic step in strengthening the Baltic real estate capital markets platform, reinforcing regional integration while supporting both local and international investor activity.
