Generali Real Estate has announced the appointment of Fraser D’Arcy as its new head of UK to spearhead growth in the London market, which will be one of the main investment markets for Generali Real Estate in the next years.
D’Arcy joins Generali Real Estate following the recent acquisition of the Times Square building, which marked Generali’s comeback to the UK markets.
D’Arcy is based in London and reports to the head of Western Europe Region, Sébastien Pezet.
In terms of UK transactions responsibilities, he also reports functionally to the head of transactions, David Brogi.
D’Arcy brings over 22 years of investment and leadership experience, having previously worked with Columbia Threadneedle, SWIP, Frogmore and Picton, the UK focussed REIT where he was investment director for seven years.
He said: ‘I look forward to working with Sébastien Pezet, David Brogi and the wider Western Europe team as we look to grow the UK branch and continue to increase our direct holdings in the UK with initial concentration on Central London Core and Core Plus assets.’
