Amro Partners has announced the appointment of Rainer Nonnengässer as a senior managing director, leading its drive into new European student housing markets including Germany, the Netherlands and Austria.
Nonnengässer brings with him over ten years’ experience in continental European purpose-built student housing and micro living. In his previous role as executive chairman and CEO of International Campus Group, Nonnengässer was responsible for all acquisition, investment and asset management activity, steering IC Group to a sector leading position of 8,000 PBSA beds across markets. Prior to that he held leadership roles with MPC Micro Living Development, Staytoo Apartments, Youniq and AXA Real Estate.
