Prudential

Prudential Financial, founded in 1875 in Newark, New Jersey, began as a regional insurer and has since developed into a major global financial institution. Over its long history, the company has built a reputation for stability and expertise, particularly in the realm of real estate financing. A notable milestone in Prudential’s evolution was the establishment of PGIM Real Estate, which now serves as its dedicated real estate investment management business. This division has grown significantly, managing over $212 billion in assets and operating in 32 cities worldwide as of November 2025.

In the past five years, Prudential has accelerated its international expansion, with a strong presence in the United States, Japan, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region. The company’s real estate activities extend across equity, debt, agriculture, and impact investment formats, with a focus on serving institutional clients. Prudential’s approach blends a legacy of real estate financing with a modern commitment to strengthening communities through investment and asset management.

As of November 2025, Prudential continues to broaden its global footprint, leveraging its scale and credibility to pursue growth in both established and emerging markets. Its ongoing investments and diversified strategies make it a significant player in the commercial real estate landscape, offering a range of solutions that adapt to changing market needs. Prudential Financial remains independently owned and is not affiliated with Prudential plc (UK) or M&G plc.
