Drees & Sommer latest to join Place North’s MIPIM delegation

The global real estate consultancy has also chosen to sponsor one of several new events Place North is hosting during the 2026 edition of the international property expo.

Drees & Sommer has entered the delegation at Partner Pro level – one of three tiers of partnership Place is offering for 2026.

In addition, the firm has become the first to sponsor the Tuesday morning Investor Breakfast at MIPIM, a new offering for next year.

To be held inside the Palais, the exclusive networking event will afford developer and local authority partners the chance to make new connections and meet the people armed with the capital to turn plans into buildings.

“Having a firm the size of Drees & Sommer back the North of England is very exciting,” said Dino Moutsopoulos, managing partner at Place North.

Moutsopoulos said he was especially pleased that Drees & Sommer had chosen to back one of Place’s new offerings for 2026.

“The closed-door breakfast event was created after listening to feedback from our developer partners that they want to meet new money at MIPIM,” he explained.

“This event will see selected REITS, investors, and developers introduced to the towns and cities from the Place North delegation, through an informal but carefully curated event. Bringing investment to the North is what we are all about and Drees & Sommer are helping make that a reality.”

James Ryan, director at Drees & Sommer, said: “We always find MIPIM to be an incredibly valuable week. With our pan-European reach, I’m excited to bring European investors into the North of England events and help forge the international connections that make MIPIM so unique.

“My colleagues from across Europe and I are pleased to be partnering with Place once again and proud to sponsor the Investor Breakfast. As a trusted advisor to both international and domestic investors, Drees & Sommer is uniquely positioned to deliver multi-disciplinary services; our partnership with Place will help us showcase that to a wide and influential audience.”
