Crayon Jaune RAIF : the first fund dedicated to purchasing residential assets in London and selling them through a rent-to-own model, promoting home ownership while targeting value add returns over 5 years. Crayon Bleu - an hospitality-focused Private Club Deal, in Paris, emphasizing sustainability while designed for value-add returns. 🎢 Venturing with Thibault Weston Smith has been such a great pleasure! 👏 Bravo Lou Dalbepierre for orchestrating all that and thank you to Caravane 🛋️ for welcoming us
