QPG relaunches as Avestus Real Estate QPG, the Central and Eastern European real estate investment and development group, has re-launched as Avestus Real Estate. QPG is well-established in the region and its re-launch as Avestus heralds aggressive plans on the part of Avestus and its stakeholders to take advantage of the anticipated cyclical upturn in the Central and Eastern European real estate market. Commenting on the launch of Avestus Real Estate, Roger Dunlop, CEO, said: We were fortunate enough to foresee many of the macro-economic issues which have affected real estate development in recent years and took the necessary steps to protect our projects, team and investment base at that time. We are now well positioned to move rapidly as soon as the level of activity increases and attractive opportunities re-emerge, as we expect them to in the near to medium-term. Avestus Capital Partners will provide real estate investment and asset management services to institutional and private investors including the real estate asset management services currently provided by Quinlan Private. Avestus has also con- fi rmed that it plans to launch a new European real estate fund aimed at institutional and professional investors in Europe, the US and the Middle East.
