Before joining ADIC in September 2021, Vos had worked with Dutch pensions manager APG since January 2008 where he rose to become director of Europe real estate.

“I am thrilled to be joining Scape Group at such an exciting time for the company. With the group’s strong track record in the UK, Australia and the US and with a clear vision for growth, it’s a pivotal moment to expand our presence into Europe.

“I look forward to leveraging my experience to drive our investment strategy and deliver high-quality living solutions across the continent,” Vos said.

Tom Ward, co-founder and CEO at Scape Group, said: “We are delighted to welcome Martijn to Scape. His deep expertise and proven leadership in real estate investment will be invaluable as we embark on this next chapter of our growth.”

Scape Group said it has also launched Meanwhile, a fully integrated global platform that houses its Scape and Morro brands. With around £7bn (€8.3bn) in assets under management, Meanwhile is designed to provide stable income and long-term growth throughout the property cycle.

“The launch of Meanwhile is a testament to our commitment to building a robust, future-focused platform that will support our expansion into new markets and continue to deliver exceptional value to our stakeholders,” added Ward.
