Stockholm-based Brunswick Real Estate (BRE) has announced three new appointments as part of its continued growth and market expansion.
Andreas Hedlund, Harri Halonen and Aksel Lundquist are joining the Stockholm office and have broad international experience in investing, lending, capital raising and/or fund management, Bruncwick said.
Hedlund will join BRE in August to head the fundraising team at Leimdörfer, the group’s investment banking arm, and Halonen, who joins in July, will join the fundraising team as a director. Lundquist will join in August as a director at Brunswick Real Estate Capital, BRE’s debt financing arm.
The company has now hired 24 people over the past 12 months. The three latest recruits join BRE’s 70-plus strong team of real estate professionals and senior advisers across Stockholm, Malmö, Helsinki, Copenhagen and London.
Hedlund previously worked at global private equity group EQT, where he spent 12 years in Stockholm and Frankfurt, most recently as investor relations director. He also spent several years at Goldman Sachs in London, and has experience in investing, lending and capital raising experience in the Nordics, Germany and the UK.
Halonen comes from Swiss Life Asset Management in Zurich, where he worked as a senior investment manager within infrastructure investments.
Lundquist has experience of originating, underwriting and executing real estate debt investments across Europe. He has spent the last six years working in London, most recently at the merchant banking division at Goldman Sachs.
Brunswick Real Estate CEO Peter Leimdörfer: 'These appointments reflect the robust growth we are experiencing in the Nordic markets, and the increasing interest from international investors in Nordic real estate. We are always looking for exceptional talent that can add significant value to our clients and we are very excited about our new team members. Andreas, Harri and Aksel all bring with them a wealth of international experience and relationships, which fits well with BRE’s increasingly global client base and network, as seen with our opening of a London office last year.'
