History

It was founded in 2002 by Michael Bickford, a former Morgan Stanley Real Estate Funds professional.[2]

In 2007, Round Hill Capital acquired the Vitus Group, a German residential real estate operator with over 30,000 apartments in seven countries.[3] Vitus was acquired for 1.3 billion euros ($1.8 billion U.S.).[4]

In 2012, Round Hill Capital acquired the Nido Student Living portfolio from The Blackstone Group.[5] The portfolio comprises 2,500 student beds in three towers in Central London, including the world's tallest student accommodation building at Prodigy Living Spitalfields.[6]

According to Reuters, as of October 2013, Vitus's enterprise value was 1.2-1.4 billion euros ($1.6-1.9 billion USD). At that time the company had 30,000 apartments. Reuters stated that month that according to four individuals, Round Hill was considering how to sell Vitus.[7] In December 2013, according to Reuters, its sources stated that Round Hill and its fellow co-owners of Vitus Immobilien were in negotiations with Deutsche Annington on selling Vitus to the latter.[4]

Round Hill Capital has also acquired office buildings across Europe, including eight buildings totaling 2.5 million sq ft in Germany, Belgium, Netherlands and Austria.[8]

gollark: Well, it does seem that all sufficiently complex computer systems end up with horrible vulnerabilities somewhere because people cannot into security, but apart from that.
