Within the European student housing leadership team, Luis Lopez-Quinones Garcia and Pablo Garcia- Morales Osorio have each been promoted to managing director and appointed as co-heads of Iberia.

They will work alongside recently appointed senior managing director Rainer Nonnengasser, tasked with spearheading Amro’s drive into new student housing markets including Germany, the Netherlands and Austria.

Withing the UK BTR leadership team, Tom Donnachie has been promoted to managing director, UK investment and Stephen Hole has been promoted to managing director, UK development.

Amro is already in advanced discussions with long-term institutional investment partners as it begins a significant scale-up of its residential living investment platforms, targeting €2 bn gross portfolio value in its Europe student housing platform and £2 bn (€2.24 bn) in its UK BTR vehicle within the next four years.

Director of sustainability & ESG, Elisabetta Li Destri Nicosia, who joined the business in 2022, will work closely with both teams to implement sustainability strategies at asset, portfolio and corporate level as Amro doubles down on its ambitious NZC2025 target.
