Philipp Bach has joined from Principal Real Estate Europe to help search for and land investments.

He reports to managing partner, Paul Munro, who said Kingstone had assembled a dedicated team of health and investment specialists.

Kingstone was founded by the Schomberg family and Pegasus Capital Partners.

Munro joined the firm’s healthcare subsidiary, Kingstone Living & Care, in June, also from Principal Real Estate Europe.

Bärbel Schomberg, managing director of Kingstone Real Estate, said at the time: ‘The competition for healthcare properties is becoming ever more intense. ‘We already built up a comprehensive investment pipeline and are actively looking for individual assets throughout Germany which offer strong long-term potential.’
