German property firm Coros has announced the hire of Robert Allen-Mersh to lead its UK business following the opening of an office in London last November.
In his role as UK head, Robert Allen-Mersh will be responsible for implementing Coros’ investment strategy and growing the real estate portfolio in the UK, initially with a focus on value-add commercial properties in London.
Prior to joining Coros, he worked at investment advisor Eastdil Secured across various European real estate markets, most recently with a focus on structured finance and debt placement in the UK. Thereafter he worked as Vice president at Yoo Capital Management on numerous opportunistic real estate transactions in the commercial and alternative investment sectors.
‘London is one of the core markets where we want to grow significantly and increase our footprint over the next few years. Therefore, we are delighted that we have found the right person in Rob to drive this forward. He knows the market as well as the current trends, brings the right network and has already proven his expertise in identifying and unlocking value in urban real estate opportunities,’ said Leonhard Sachsenhauser, founding partner of Coros.
