3 Associates

3 Associates

3 Associates was established in London in 2015 by Jesdev Saggar, a former Managing Director at Deloitte Middle East. The firm was built to serve multiple entrepreneurial families, originating from Saggar's own real estate holdings and operating as a co-investment platform rather than a passive allocator. The office provides a blend of strategic advisory, estate planning, and direct investment management, with a geographic footprint that connects UK commercial real estate to Gulf capital and Indian infrastructure opportunities. The firm's strategy centers on core and core-plus commercial and hospitality assets, with exposure spanning office, mixed-use, and industrial real estate. Confirmed investments include 1 Pall Mall East and Buckingham Gate in London, where the firm has co-invested alongside Al Murjan Group. The firm also pursues infrastructure-adjacent opportunities, evidenced by the Punjab Data Hyperscaler Campus in Mohali, India. Across these positions, 3 Associates typically structures direct deals and club-style co-investments rather than committing to blind-pool funds. Jesdev Saggar leads the firm, recognized as a member of RICS and named to the Family Capital Top 40 Family Office Advisers list. Saachi Saggar, a family member, directs alternative investments and heads 3A Invests, signaling a second-generation role in the firm's future deployment. The office maintains ties to Gulf-based principals including Sheikh Majid Al Maktoum, a relationship affirmed through business partnerships and regional recognition. May 2025: The firm continued to market its co-investment capabilities around core London assets, reinforcing its posture as an operator-led rather than purely allocator-driven family office. The firm's structural differentiator lies in its hybrid nature—it functions simultaneously as a deal principal and an outsourced investment office for families that want co-investment access rather than fund products. Unlike pure advisory multi-family offices, 3 Associates puts Saggar's own balance sheet into the transactions it arranges, creating alignment that generic wealth managers cannot replicate.
